Cirque du Soleil cancels North Carolina shows over transgender law

Cirque du Soleil said on Friday it was canceling shows in North Carolina over a new state law that it called discriminatory, the performance group said on Friday, becoming the latest entertainment act to take a stance against the measure.

"The new HB2 legislation passed in North Carolina is an important regression to ensuring human rights for all ... Cirque du Soleil believes in equality for all," the group said in an online statement.

North Carolina last month became the first state to enact a measure requiring transgender people to use restrooms and locker rooms in schools and other public facilities that correspond with their birth gender instead of the gender with which they identify.

Screw them! I had a girlfriend who was a “modern dancer.” She said every guy was gay.

Well, this does make more sense than Springsteen canceling his show. Unless that bit from “Steel Magnolias” about guys named Bruce actually has merit.

Yup. If you know how to dance (as in semi-pro or pro) and are straight, dating female dancers is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Been there, done that. LOL.

The sanctimonious bull manure the left spews daily is so fake.

Why didn’t all these entertainers boycott the whole nation when it was the law everywhere?

Did the moral laws of humanity recently switch?

Not even the outspoken liberals of a few decades ago supported homosexual marriage or transgender people sharing showers, locker rooms, and restrooms with those of the same biological sex.

Maybe they should setup a “who gives a sh!t” digital counter in Times Square, ensuring that it is updated at least once a decade!

I really appreciate these leftist, deviant organizations making it so easy to identify whom to boycott.

Phuque the Cirque.
