Claim: Bruce Springsteen cancelled a show in Greensboro, North Carolina, over the state’s so-called ‘bathroom law.
Origin:In April 2016, North Carolina enacted one of the farthest-ranging anti-LGBT laws in the nation.
Companies decided to either cut ties with the state or changed plans to build facilities t, the state’s attorney general called the bill a “National embarrassment” and said his office would not be defending North Carolina officials or state agencies against the law, and the White House called the bill “Mean-spirited.”
Nothing has made bigger news than Bruce Springsteen’s boycott of a North Carolina show he was scheduled to perform with the E Street Band in Greensboro on 10 April 2016.
As you, my fans, know I’m scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday.
As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “Bathroom” law.
T are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments.
Basketball legend Charles Barkley also made headlines when he called upon the National Basketball Association to relocate their 2017 All-Star Weekend from Charlotte, North Carolina, to another state in protest over the bill.
