Ringo Starr won't be performing in the Tar Heel State. The former Beatle has just canceled a concert scheduled for June in Cary, North Carolina, citing HB2, an anti-LGBT law signed by Gov. Pat McCrory that has drawn national outrage.
"I'm sorry to disappoint my fans in this area, but we need to take a stand against this hatred. Spread peace and love," the 75-year old singer-songwriter, drummer, and actor said in a statement first reported by ABC News on Twitter:

True — just one whore among the many pissing on natural sensibilities.
I guess Qatar gets a pass because they’re “not Christian.”
The funniest thing about all this is that these so-called “entertainers” (not to mention CEO’s and their corporate product) seem to actually think they are ‘depriving’ us by withholding their oh-so-worthy presence!
Good grief, this is win-win, keeping all these pro-pervert, pro-pedophile cretins and their laughable talents/products completely outside one’s state borders.
Many establishment have unisex bathrooms with diaper changing tables. Problem solved.
It’s like it isn’t even a soda pop, it’s a cause in a can.
I’m with you a 101% my friend. I’ll take Cream, Zepplin, Yardbirds, et al any day. Hey Ringo,,,, go do it in the road, as in the middle of a busy interstate during rush hour.
so... he doesn’t agree with their lifestyle choices and he’s refusing to provide his service?
i guess it would only matter if he was making cakes
I’d mostly agree, but I have a gut sense that in this specific situation, something has provoked this. Something like obvious trouble makers. If push came to shove, that could probably be covered under disturbing the peace, too.
This issue is one of the most bizarre ones I have ever seen. It’s a man in my daughters bathroom, and a sick one!!!!!! Geez!
yup, whatta hypocrite... really he should be sued for discriminating...
Why is there a man in the ladies room?
He came in through the bathroom window.
I’m disappointed. I always liked Ringo. He was low man on the Beatles totem pole, but always a good drummer! A leftie playing a rightie kit gave us some fun drumming. He’s put together some good bands too. So has Charlie Watts. Too bad!
With this boycott by Hollywood types, the rate of STDs may sink through the floor.
How many more undesirables canceling out will it take to make NC a preferred destination of the decent?
North Carolina is kicking ass! They are ridding their state of all influences that would wish to destroy it without firing a shot!! Now, if only they could do something about their illegal problem; they would have it in the bag.
Ringo, Ringo... uh he had some hits didn’t he?
What is Life? No, that was George.
Instant Karma? Nah, that was John.
Too Many People? um nope, that was Paul.
Just what the hell are you good for Ringo?
We have a couple of timeshare weeks on the Outer Banks, which has been somewhat infested with northeast and DC area liberals. Maybe they'll pull out!
And here’s a guy that sang lead on the Beatles song
ACT NATURALLY
lol
Now if we could just get all of them to move out of the state...they have totally taken over Asheville and Charlotte and pockets in all other college towns...leave please leave...hand writing on the wall. The 99% do not want the 1% “wagging the tale”. Unfortunately though, I already see that the Govenor is beginning to cave...such real issue to deal with in this world today..God Almighty!
Not only that, but putting a lot of roadies, venue employees and vendors a paycheck short can't win a lot of friends.
