Schofield is quite correct, that you cannot read that clause in any way that doesn't declare quite openly that the Republican Party of North Carolina has decided that discrimination against gay citizens is A-OK with them. Government-sanctioned discrimination, which gives the lie to their other cover story, that they are for small, non-intrusive government.
Their obsession with singling out and hurting gay people is pathological, isn't it?
