Bruce Springsteen cancels North Carolina concert over 'bathroom law'[W:163]

Re: Bruce Springsteen cancels North Carolina concert over 'bathroom law'

Since musical taste is so subjective and so different its enough to say we differ on our assessment of Springsteen.

I'm not a huge rock fan - I prefer country and folk - but I've always loved Springsteen.

I'm not really all that concerned with this particular law. I am much more concerned about the bigger issue and attempts to legislate bigotry like Mississippi.

NC definitely needs a better law. But I can also certainly understand them wanting to make sure that guys use guys bathrooms and gals use gals bathrooms. Before the surgery guys/gals should most definitely enter only the bathroom that they have the genitalia for. After the surgery, then by all means, let them in the bathroom with which they identify with. No man and no woman is going to have a sex change just to oogle at the opposite sex. But a pervert will most certainly want to oogle and use laws that are not formed correctly to their advantage.

You are working WAAAAY too hard at not caring....

One legendary rocker who is in the Rock Hall of Fame may not mean much to you, but as more out of state attractions cancel I think it will mean something to the toilet police.... eace

well,as i see it.. i'd like ot see one of 2 thigns happen.

1, the state drops the idiotic law they have no hops of enforcing
2, people wise the **** up and understand it's an unenforceable law .. and feel free to use whatever bathroom they want.... like they always have anyways.


so much bull**** and drama over nothing.... i swear the whole country is like a an episode of the Kardashians anymore.

Re: Bruce Springsteen cancels North Carolina concert over 'bathroom law'

The greatest rock artist of our time stands tall tho support his beliefs. As a life long Springsteen fan who has seen him many times, its unfortunate that thousands of devoted fans will not get the gift of seeing his incredible show. Some tapes of live shows on Sirius lately from the current tour show he is in fine voice .

But he believes in this cause and will fight for it.

I have to admire the man for than even though most of my own thoughts on the issue itself are not on the side he is on.

It s great to see a rich artist stand for principle.

if those fans in NC can't stand up for their lgbt neighbors, they don't deserve a concert

I mean, you're talking about the State that didn't ratify the 13th Amendment until 2013. Is anyone surprised that such a backwater State would legislate bigotry?

Good gosh. We need to cull the herd.

This is stupid, and this didn't surprise me from a northeastern-infected highly overrated blowhard.

Did you guys notice that only liberals and perhaps socialists believe anyone legislated bigotry?

Sweet! First PayPal, now this!

And the heartbreaking buzzer-beater against UNC could not have come at a better time.

And all of them are hypocrites. Paypal does business in 25 countries where homosexual behavior is illegal, including 5 countries where the penalty is death.

They still do business in North Carolina.

That's because they don't actually believe anything is wrong here. Instead they know that standing against the law will look good for their business.

Re: Bruce Springsteen cancels North Carolina concert over 'bathroom law'

Bruce Springsteen is the latest to shun North Carolina over its so-called "bathroom law."

The legendary musician announced Friday that his upcoming show in Greensboro, North Carolina, has been canceled in "solidarity" with those protesting the measure.

Springsteen and his E Street Band were slated to perform at the Greensboro Coliseum this Sunday. The roughly 15,000 ticketholders will all be eligible for a refund.

The newly enacted law requires individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate, and has drawn fierce criticism for excluding legal protections from gay and transgender people.

===============================================

Good for the Boss! I hope other entertainers and businesses that were going to perform/do business in NC do the same thing.

Once transgenders have the surgery, they should be using the washroom corresponding to their new gender.

Good for Bruce, stand up to these idiots.

it's not the bathroom part that's caused this reaction and it's certainly not over nothing. Read the ****ing law and you'll see in part 2 and 3 it bans cities from creating their own minimum wage or ANY protections for lgbt. Since texas will attempt the same thing this summer, there is a lot at stake

It's too easy to whine that it's over nothing when you're not part of the group that's constantly under attack by an entire political party and religious apparatus

yeah, but that's ok.. because those are Islamic countries and everybody knows they won't hold to their principles in the face of Islamic laws/customs.

Oh and I don't disagree. It's political grandstanding by hypocrites and the Gov of NC told the hypocrites to bugger off.

This is another ridiculous left winger acting out. Wonder what the 15,000 fans think of it?

A backwater state with 8 million residents and growing by leaps and bounds.

it's not ok at all, but their actions have far greater chance to stop a new 'freedom to discriminate' law in north carolina than in saudi arabia. The only thing that can put a stop to atrocities in the mideast is to get off the oil teet

From the comments I've seen on his FB post, they are pretty supportive.
