Homophobia and transphobia continues to prove to be bad for business as the economic fallout from North Carolina's anti-LGBT law continues. But one of North Carolina's losses is proving to be a gain for Hollywood North.

North Carolina passed a law on March 23 that prevents cities from banning discrimination based on sexual orientation or identity. Cities, towns, and counties cannot pass anti-discrimination measures beyond standards set by the state.

It also limits bathroom options for transgender people by requiring them to use facilities based on the gender listed on their birth certificates.

Santa Monica, California–based Lionsgate Entertainment (which was originallly formed in Vancouver) is planning to move the production of a new Hulu comedy series Crushed, starring Regina Hall about an African-American family and their Napa wine business, from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Vancouver.

According to the Charlotte Observer, about 100 people would have been employed on Crushed.

Over 100 major corporations, such as American Airlines, Apple, Google, and Facebook, as well as sports organizations NBA, the NCAA, and sports network ESPN, have spoken out against the law.

PaylPal announced that it will cancel a major expansion that was planned in the state, which would have created 400 jobs.

Fox, Miramax, the Weinstein Company, and the A&E Company have also expressed opposition to the law.

Director Rob Reiner (The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally) said he won't film in the state until the anti-LGBT bill is repealed.
