“For months, an electronic billboard on Interstate 40-85 east of Greensboro said ‘Repeal HB2.’
“Now that House Bill 2 has been repealed and replaced by a new state law, the billboard’s message has also been replaced: ‘Never Compromise On Civil Rights.’
“The billboard is owned by Bob Page, the outspoken CEO of Replacements, Ltd., a company that sells old and new china, silver and other collectibles.
“Page, who is gay, is a vocal supporter of LGBT rights and has used billboards to broadcast his message to the thousands of passing cars on the busy Guilford County freeway.”
