huffpostqueervoices: Although he and his bandmates had been slated to perform at the Greensboro Coliseum on April 10, Bruce Springsteen announced Friday that he was canceling the show following North Carolina’s passage of House Bill 2, or HB2, last month. “HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act — dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use,” Springsteen wrote in a statement. “Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden.” House Bill 2 is terrible.Long live the Boss. -- source link
