Bryan Adams, next it wasNick Jonas and Demi Lovato have canceled their upcoming tour dates in North Carolina in protest of North Carolina's controversial Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act (HB2) law. Widely perceived as being anti-LGBTQ, the stars join artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam and Boston as acts who have recently pulled the plug on North Carolina shows in response to the new law.

"After much thought and deliberation, we have decided to cancel our Honda Civic Tour: Future Now shows in Raleigh and Charlotte. One our our goals for the tour has always been to create an atmosphere where every single atendee feels equal, included, and accepted for who they are," they wrote in part in a statement posted on both of their Twitter accounts.

There are three more short paragraphs but for some reason the site will not allow me to copy and paste.

The truth here is that once again we see liberals engaged in their favorite pastime - giving away something that is not theirs. I guarantee that not one of them or their families would EVER HAVE to use a restroom with a fish eyed pervert who “feels” like a woman on a particular day. Peeing with perverts? That’s for the little people just like paying taxes and living with illegal aliens.

Such boycotts are good tidings for North Carolina. Sporting events and entertainment suck gazillions of dollars out of local economies.

Sit tight, Carolina. The extreme queers are abandoning you. That is a good thing.

Never heard of Lovato and Jonas. (Sometimes it’s good to be old and ignorant of pop culture.)

Erick Erickson made a good point yesterday. If the bakery can get sued for refusing to bake a cake they had not yet promised to bake, why can't these performers be sued for breach of contract for a concert they've already booked and people have paid tickets for?

Is there any difference in what the bakery owners did and what these "performers" are doing?

If more states grow a pair this non-sense would stop.

“I seriously don’t have a clue who these Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato people are.”

Bob, they aren’t worth “knonwing anything about!” Just two more pop culture pieces of crap with double digit IQs!

The Protestant majority had already surrendered and when Catholics threw in the towel, that was it and we've been on a high speed Bobsled run to the baser instincts of mankind becoming the norm ever since. No matter what they say, Christians in America won't retaliate as a coherent block by not handing their money over to the hedonists and queers.

You might want to check roman catholic voting patters in presidential elections before you make such a bold statement.

You will find catholics have voted for the dim candidate in the majority of Presidential elections.

Yes.
Some guy walked up to him while he was eating at a restaurant and did everything except sit down with him. Interrupted his meal completely.

It was when he was back home in Texas and just wanted to be left alone.

Well, I guess Jonas should keep in mind that....

“Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due....

..... who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” - Romans 1:27, 32

And I’d tack on Matt. 6:24
