Maroon 5 cancel North Carolina shows to protest anti-LGBT bill
Entertainment Weekly ^ | May 20, 2016 | Nick Romano

Maroon 5 are the latest band to cancel shows in North Carolina because of the state's anti-LGBT bill.

"We have announced that we will be canceling our upcoming shows in Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina because of the recent passage of the HB2 legislation," the band said in a statement on their website. "This was a difficult decision for us to make as a band. We don't want to penalize our fans in North Carolina by not performing for them, but in the end it comes down to what we feel is morally right."

Half these morons who’ve canceled their shows in NC have played in the middle east where being gay is a capital offense.

Cool. let’s see how they get along without half their fans. All that wine, women, sex and rock n roll costs money dudes and dudettes. We CAN live without you bands, how about you bands living without us?

“We don’t want to penalize our fans in North Carolina by not performing for them, but in the end it comes down to what we feel is morally right.” …
Nothing like a has-been pop band admitting that they “feel” that moral aberrations are “morally right”. Do they also feel that they are “bigger than Jesus right now”?

Wow, pretty soon the only groups performing in North Carolina will be the likes of the McGuire Sisters, Mitch Miller, and Lawrence Welk.

Yeah, I know they aren’t around anymore. Wish they were.

Meanwhile, getting ditched by two bit faggie guitar smashers must have the N.C. tourism folks wringing their hands.

I see, so breach of contract is ok with youse boyz, but compelling “contracts” between those diametrically opposed is ok?

And yes, why do Russia and Muslim Turkey?

Curious minds want to know

Dont ask them not to be libtard hypocrites. Its mean and unfair. And just hatful to force them to be morally consistent.

So it is morally right to rip off your fans and to allow pedophiles legal access to the little girls room?

I am starting to feel like an old man who doesn't understand the current generation...
