No, it just makes him part of the coalition of people and businesses that are ultimately going to send the North Carolina legislature & governor scurrying to undue the damage they've done.

But cheer up! You've always got the Motor City Pedophile in your conservative corner!

So? Why do people care about what an entertainer does? Why are they so special?

If you have sex with a 17 year old, you are a pedophile?

The venue that is going to lose a whole lot of money cares. The businesses around the venue who profit off of events are going to care. And you can bet that when businesses start to lose revenue the state is going to hear about it. And my guess is, they'll care, too.

I wonder how long it will take for the legislature to rescind this law?

I'm betting it won't last very long. The idiot governor is up for re-election in November. Maybe he can get people on board with a bathroom law, but not with the much bigger aspect of blocking anti-discrimination rules covering the LGBT community.

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.

did you read the law??????


says you go to the bathroom that matches the parts you are equipped with.....how may transgenders do you thinkl there are in NC? That's offensive enough to boycott NC???????????????????????????????


they are about .001 of the total lgbt pop of 3 %.


there are so many other miniscule segments of the population larger than the transgenders that never get legislation sponsored for their cause.


To do otherwse will invite crime and lawsuits....


Anyone boycotting NC needs counseling for being so sensitive it interferes with their functioning.

It makes him look like a moron because he is following PayPals lead on this... His products can be purchased with PayPal. But he seems unaware of the fact that PayPal does business with Saudi Arabia (and similar Middle eastern countries)... a place where you can be EXECUTED for being gay. Yet THAT is perfectly fine. No boycotts about that... It's hypocritical as hell.

And the law has ZERO to do with Christianity.

This isn't Rocket Surgery.

Thirty seven other states already have laws similar to the new NC law.

All this 'outrage' is a bunch of fabricated garbage.

Just shows that discrimination is conservative wide. Only Georgia and Virginia have shown that they are not bigots.
