Singer Bryan Adams cancels Mississippi show to protest new anti-LGBT law

Canadian singer Bryan Adams has canceled a show in Mississippi this week to protest a new state law that lets people with religious objections deny services to same-sex couples, the rocker said in a statement.

“I cannot in good conscience perform in a state where certain people are being denied their civil rights due to their sexual orientation,” Adams wrote on his website.

A law signed in Mississippi last week allows people with religious objections to deny wedding services to same-sex couples and permits employers to cite religion in determining workplace policies on dress code, grooming and bathroom and locker access.

Adams, who was set to perform on Thursday at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi, called the bill “extremely discriminatory.”

“Hopefully Mississippi will right itself and I can come back and perform for all of my many fans. I look forward to that day,” Adams said.

Executives of several major U.S. corporations urged Mississippi officials last week to repeal the law, condemning it as discriminatory.

On Friday, U.S. rock star Bruce Springsteen canceled a weekend concert in North Carolina to protest a new state law barring transgender people from choosing bathrooms consistent with their gender identity.

DISNEY BENDS OVER FOR GAY LOBBY THREATS GEORGIA WITH FILMING BOYCOTT

This is irritating.

1- It is NOT an anti LGBT law
They don't want ALL sex bathrooms.

2 The Great State of Mississippi can do or not do whatever it & it's citizens want. Like any other state.

3- This bozo is Canadian.. I think his socialist mother land is calling him home.

4- The list of companies (Disney, another thread), & entertainers is growing against Mississippi, to manipulate them & imo to break the sovereignty of all individual states. And break any moral or religious laws or mindsets that are Jewish or Christian etc..

This is NOT about 'equality' at all.

They SHOULD go to DEARBORN MICHIGAN... & the 13-14 other SHARIA areas. Or are they chicken sh@t !?

I hope Mr. Adams will remember....
A Southern man dont need him around anyhow..


Cmon, its just Bryan Adams. And Mississippi is full of rednecks and black folks. Call me when Hank Jr, Willie Nelson, or Lil Wayne cancels

Btw, these boycotts....(can we say that now? Its not very gender neutral lol)....are dumb. These people arent hurting the state as much as they are the city theyre performing in...which is probably filled with people who agree with them.


And Springsteen? I wouldnt have paid to see him do the same bs hes been doing for thirty years anyway....

They just wanna be able to have a circle jerk with their SJW cronies and say "Look how social justicy I am"

NO, the Great State of Mississippi absolutely CANNOT
do whatever it & it's citizens want nor can any other
Great state do so...

have you never heard of the United States Constitution...?

can states enact laws allowing slavery to become a practice
within their borders if the majority of the citizenry wants it
and votes for it ? the answer is a resounding NO...

one of the main tenets of the Constitution is to PROTECT the
minority FROM the majority ruling over them with discriminatory
legislation...

so basically what they are saying is that only the LGBT has rights, and none of the church going folks do...

and silly me, i always thought we had a right to choose, but i see i was wrong... only the liberals has the right to choose for us...

Well Mississippi just did.
But you are more than welcome to go there & pee sitting down in the women's bathroom & then take it to the Supreme Court with your foo foo friends.

Bravo!

That's great an' all,

But which constitutional amendment
protects a tranny's "rights" to whiz wherever they want?

$hit just got real....

"" North Carolina has faced widespread
outrage after passing a law that requires
transgender people to use public restrooms
based on the genders listed on their birth
certificates, while also prohibiting new anti-
discrimination protections for the LGBT
community from being passed. Several
companies and entertainers have already
pledged to boycott North Carolina, and
there's now one more to add to the list:
the porn website xHamster, which is
blocking users in the state from viewing
porn until the controversial law is repealed.""

A major source of free trannie, piss, and Brazilian fart porn is now among the so-called "sane" voices in this debate

Adding to the NC tranny rebellion,
Bruce springsteen has refused to perform
at a show tickets were already sold for, to
announce his "coming out"... errr, support
for dudes in dresses.

Hmm...Bruce Springsteen
Bruce Jenner
Caitlyn Jenner
Caitlyn Springsteen?

Eh.

Singers have done crap like this before.

Usually it's because of things like ticket sales were low, or they didn't charge enough for tickets so the singer wasn't making enough, or their health was bad but they didn't want to announce it to the world.

Better to pretend to do something for altruistic reasons than selfish ones.

Hey man, it's Bryan frickin Adams...Everything He Does, He Does it For Us.....

Will he go HOME for us?

Watch it...He Cuts Like a Knife...NOT a transgender joke

I have to agree on the bill

not forcing people to perform weddings against their religious values

and allowing grooming and dress codes (Don't employers already do this) and bathroom rules


doesn't seem like imposing upon anyones 'rights',,, so I don't see the issue

When I first heard about the OP and Bryan Adams, I was a bit perplexed. Bryan Adams didnt seem very relevant these days......now it seems there may be a more likely reason why he canceled...


"" It was reported in March that about
1,000 tickets had been sold and about
3,000 tickets needed to be sold to break
even.""

...also, if this next part of the article is true, Adams is a bit of a hypocrite too...


"" It’s interesting that he would cancel a
show in Biloxi because of HB 1523, yet
he’s played concerts in India where it is
illegal to be gay.
In 2015, the Hindu Times quoted Adams
as saying, “I really want to come back
to India. I have actually wanted to visit
the country since (sic) a long time. If
we can get a promoter there to bring us
back, it would be great.”"

"It is proper to forbid all discrimination in government-owned facilities and establishments: the government has no right to discriminate against any citizens. And by the very same principle, the government has no right to discriminate for some citizens at the expense of others. It has no right to violate the right of private property by forbidding discrimination in privately owned establishments…. A man’s rights are not violated by a private individual’s refusal to deal with him." —Ayn Rand
