The state of North Carolina is under a lot of heat nowadays, as they have angered many individuals with their new law.
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.
In response to the law, legendary singer Bruce Springsteen has elected to cancel his North Carolina show.
“To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress,” Springsteen said in a statement.
“Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th,” Springsteen said
While this sucks for his North Carolina fans, I’m pretty sure they’ll be able to understand Springsteen is doing this for a greater case.
