I don't think you know what the word Fascist means.

Funny how it's the opposite when it's gay people looking for a cake.
It's the same, he should be forced to sing or fined a few million in North Carolina just as baker's should be forced to bake a cake for people they disagree with.

Actually, it's great the people of NC aren't wasting their money to hear a way over the hill singer wail into the night...everything's good in this scenario.

I know. I think this is what we get when people don't know the meaning of words but they sound powerful so these individuals put them into sentences b/c they think it makes their argument sound better. I tried to teach my cat English. It didn't work. It's sometimes better to play with your cat and not try to teach it a language it is not capable of learning.

I'm pretty sure forcing someone to perform/work somewhere is just about the very definition of fascism.

Are the NBA, NFL, and NHL pulling their pro teams out of NC ?


Knee-jerk Bruce should have gone to Greensboro to show his support for the city and others in NC that had their local non-discrimination ordinances overturned by the state law. He hurt the city more than he hurt the state.

It appears that little Brucie cancelled the concert just a few days before it was to go on. Gotta wonder....how much will the lawsuits cost? The breach of contact with the concert promoter, the charges for the venue. Also have to wonder if the fans that bought tickets, spent money on reserving rooms or travel plans will start a class action lawsuit. Hope so.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes Bruce. At his age he still acts like a 12 year old child throwing a tantrum. Should run for pres on the Dem ticket.

What lawsuits? The only ones acting like 12 year olds are the Republicans in this state. The tickets are refundable and as far as reserving rooms, you can cancel up to 24 hours before the rental and not worry about it. Republicans need to grow up and stop trying to send us back to the 50's.

Amen. This was his decision to make. If some don't like it, so be it.

I'm sure Bruce appreciates your concern, but anyone who thinks he and his legal team don't have all their bases covered is delusional. Keep gloating over nonexistent lawsuits though, its amusing.

It will, and the state will undo the damage, just as Indiana did when it started facing an economic backlash.
