It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections.HB2 was signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory earlier this year.SWIMMINGLOS ANGELES -- Ryan Lochte says he feels a little hurt after being involved in an altercation on Dancing with the Stars that prompted producers to cut to commercials.The beleaguered swimmer was reportedly rushed by an unknown pair of men wearing anti-Lochte T-shirts while receiving his scores from judge Carrie Ann Inaba on Mondays live installment of the celebrity ballroom dance competition.Hey, back off, Inaba said as the altercation was occurring off screen.When the show returned, Dancing with the Stars host Tom Bergeron explained they were interrupted by a little incident and thanked the ABC series security team for staying in shape.The swimmer told Bergeron that so many feelings are going through my head right now.
