I don't have a list of states that have laws banning discrimination based on sexual orientation, but I'm pretty sure fewer than half have such laws. I wonder if Bruce checked the laws of Ohio, Arizona, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and other states and countries where he tours. Same for the NBA, PayPal, and all the other businesses giving NC heck for its law.
Don't forget the NHL. The list is growing.
But there will still be county fairs and Ted Nugent concerts for entertainment.
Get a clue. Most people in this country have accepted that gays, lesbians, and transgender people have the right to be treated just like heterosexuals. Only the Right wing bigots have not.
Many people in this country have accepted that our country was founded on property rights and that government, the very same government that bought us Jim Crow and slavery, isn't the one to look to for moral guidance. Only some of the left wing bots have not.

BTW, the phrase is "rocket science", not "rocket surgery".
The phrase that YOU should concern yourself with is the rights of the individual. Springsteen wants to cancel, I can respect that. It's his call. no one forced him to do it. North Carolinas loss. He puts on a good show. But people who steal the rights away from property owners, don't serve any respect whatsoever.
The fans are part of the electorate and I guarantee some voted for the dirtbags who voted for that law. Elections have consequences. Deal with it. Bruce made me proud, today.
So people who respect the rights of the individual are dirtbags? They're not the dirtbags here. Government is not moral. We the people are. Government should be protecting the rights of the individual not squashing them.
Okay, so chalk up Bruce Springsteen--as well as PayPal--as wanting people identified as one gender at birth to be allowed to walk into a multi-outlet public restroom of the gender opposite, just because they feel they are the gender of the latter.
Keep a running tally of that for next time a business transaction needs to be conducted.

Drivel. Why don't most states have laws that do what you claim most people want. Why nothing from Congress. You're pushing the same bunk as we heard with ssm, which had had to be imposed by federal courts.
The legislators who voted for that law are dirtbag bigots and if you agree with the law...well, you know.
The people who are for that law are dirtbag tyrants and if you agree with the law...well, you must agree with the rights of the individual. Never, ever vote against those rights.
Don't flatter yourself. I lived in NC for 18 years. Trust me when I tell you that the people of NC couldn't care less what people from outside the state think of their laws. Your little social justice crusade is going nowhere.
They will care when they start losing businesses, obviously they elected these people so the voters are in fact complicit.
Didn't the governor run on a pro-business platform, he is in for an awakening.
