Cirque du Soleil said on Friday it was canceling shows in North Carolina over a new state law that it called discriminatory, the performance group said on Friday, becoming the latest entertainment act to take a stance against the measure.
"The new HB2 legislation passed in North Carolina is an important regression to ensuring human rights for all ... Cirque du Soleil believes in equality for all," the group said in an online statement.
North Carolina last month became the first state to enact a measure requiring transgender people to use restrooms and locker rooms in schools and other public facilities that correspond with their birth gender instead of the gender with which they identify.

BIG loss.....(sarc)
and yet, these same hypocrits are taking their show on the road to that haven of tolerance in various parts of the middle east....and not news reporter will bring that up....
Screw them! I had a girlfriend who was a “modern dancer.” She said every guy was gay.
but they are going to the Emirates where homosexuals are killed
Well, this does make more sense than Springsteen canceling his show. Unless that bit from “Steel Magnolias” about guys named Bruce actually has merit.
Yup. If you know how to dance (as in semi-pro or pro) and are straight, dating female dancers is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Been there, done that. LOL.
Plus, she pees standing up.
The sanctimonious bull manure the left spews daily is so fake.
Same true in ice skating.
We know how to keep them out of our states!
Get on the wire and tell the others!
Actually, I can understand Cirque du Soleil’s position on this.
Why didn’t all these entertainers boycott the whole nation when it was the law everywhere?
Did the moral laws of humanity recently switch?
Not even the outspoken liberals of a few decades ago supported homosexual marriage or transgender people sharing showers, locker rooms, and restrooms with those of the same biological sex.
Maybe they should setup a “who gives a sh!t” digital counter in Times Square, ensuring that it is updated at least once a decade!
Who knew it was so easy to keep the freaks out of a state?
She was wonderful. Muscle tone !
Hang in there North Carolina there is a lot more liberals that still need to be seen boycotting and it will not make a bit of difference in your economy....Makes me want to come to North Carolina on vacation
I really appreciate these leftist, deviant organizations making it so easy to identify whom to boycott.
Phuque the Cirque.
and I know I wont see them in philly next month.
