Lionsgate and the A+E network say they won’t film TV shows and movies in North Carolina if the state doesn’t repeal its new LGBT law.
Along with Fox, Miramax and The Weinstein Company, the entertainment producers have voiced opposition to House Bill 2, which replaces local ordinances with a statewide nondiscrimination law that doesn’t include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected categories.

This furor will pass in time and they will be back if it makes sense economically. It’s the old story ...”Follow the Money”.
We need to cut off the money supply from these bastards anyway. I would like to see a lot of Liberal media products banned in all the states.
There ability to circulate propaganda disguised as entertainment is much of the reason why the nation is so fiscally and spiritually sick.
Surprised they’re even allowing the Tar Heels to play in tonight’s game.
Protected categories?
That sound like discrimination to protect one group over another.
There should be no categories.
They can go to Connecticut, subsidize the unused bus highway from New Britain to Hartford, and use the buildings left by all the gun manufacturers leaving Connecticut.
The gun manufacturers might size up the cacant movie studio space, setup some nice testing ranges, who knows?
If I got to a film set and declare myself to be the star of the show do I get to use the star’s trailer? Do I get to have the producers cater to my every need? No, because i’m not the star. Just as a man in a skirt is still a man.
A&E, eh? Not sure we watch anything on that channel but I will block it anyway.
Let them bark, they’ve made their required illogical, scripted, politically correct responses. They’re not going anywhere.
Is this the law that does nothing but keep men from using women’s bathrooms? (and vice versa)
Right on. I’m so sick of this selective splinter group outrage. Sometimes I wish we could just split the country. US vs. them. Elect our own limited government, have our own laws. I really don’t want to co-exist with liberals any longer. I just want to be around American patriots
Where to show the line though?
I’m all for walling of the city.

Great and take all your lib hanger-ons with you!
Don’t let the door hit yer pansy butts on the way out!
See ya.
7-10 days. And the sad thing is, it is a money loser to have them there. Just a tax scam for Hollywood producers and financiers.
For less than 2% of the population. If NC folds I hope NO ONE will spend another dime in that state. If you’re traveling across make sure you’ve got enough gas so you don’t have to stop. And take a leak at the state line so you won’t have to use one of their gender neutral pervert rest rooms.
” They’ve had articles and studies that pointed out that there is no net benefit for having Hollywood and more often than not they lose money. They’ve had fraud also with tax credit where a company makes a crappy movie just to get tax credits which they then pocket the money or sell the tax credits to others.”
Don’t need the studies. I was in Hollywood in the lat 70’s when all the tax/credit scams started. Actually, the Hollywood financiers stole the idea from the scammers in Canada : )
If I was wealthy I’d put huge bill boards on the state line of every highway that goes into NC saying DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. THIS STATE SUPPORTS PERVERSION.
See ya, TV production bigots.
