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:

“Who knew a single law could keep all the freaks out of a state. Pest control was never so easy!”

Right on, and the list is growing. :)

If Babs Streisand and George Clooney make the pledge I'm gonna start looking at real estate in NC.

So a law protecting the first amendment in the state is now “anti”-fill in the blank?

Liberals are assholes.

Don’t blame you, it’d be the icing on the cake.

Outside of a couple of songs I never liked them, either.

He should be made to double reimburse the ticket holders and venues.

“have NEVER liked the Beatles, not one bit.”

You’re not alone; I never liked them at all. I was in high school when they came to the USA, and I couldn’t have cared less.

Western North Carolina still has that hippie-infested mountain moonbat enclave of Asheville. Been there on duty; it’s beardo-weirdo & ponytails on both sexes.

I must be getting old. I can remember when an entertainer could tell a joke like this and NOT be called a bigot! (at 7:12)

A lady came up to me and said, “Mr Humperdink,I want to tell you that you’re somewhat of a novelty here”.

I said,”Oh,really? Is it because I’m English?”

She said,”No. It’s because you’re in the ladies room.”

So I guess all the other cities where ringo will be performing allow men to enter women’s bathrooms?

Leftist lemmings - doing what they do because, well, just because...

I doubt that anybody is going to miss Gringo’s performance. Or Springsteen’s for that matter.

Funny how a leftist refusing to do business based on a belief system of some sort brings no repercussions, while a Christian doing the same is met with great scorn, death threats, and fines.

All this fuss because people don’t want to have men in women’s bathrooms with their daughters/wives/girlfriends/mothers/sisters/grandmothers.

WHO WOULD? And...

WHY?

Frankly, I don’t think many men want trannies in their bathroom either. Maybe if someone is that confused about what they are, they ought not go out into the general public.
