Cirque du Soleil cancels North Carolina shows over transgender law

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.

Is he urinating against a wall?

There are wall urinals that actually use the wall (generally found in places like old football stadiums and such). There's a drain grate at the base of the wall, and I assume the picture has that feature if one were to look close enough.

The odd flush tank on the wall makes me suspect that is a European restroom, though.

Did anyone ever find out how breach of contract lawsuits would come down on these phonies?

My guess is the lawsuits will be filed - towards the end of the prescriptive period, after the media is no longer terribly interested. Since these performers arrange tours through corporate middle-men, the lawsuits may go virtually unnoticed in terms of the names involved.

I just wish the Liberals fleeing their own failed Liberal hell holes and moving here to NC in droves and trying to change our laws and values would boycott NC as well and stay the hell out.

They can keep their "New York Values"...

(P.S. I'm from NY and moved to escape the Liberal tyranny, not bring it with me)

It’s a “gay” show anyway.
