"Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have canceled their Sunday night concert in Greensboro, North Carolina to protest the state's passing of the controversial Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act, also known as the "bathroom bill." In a note on the rocker's official website, Springsteen condemned lawmakers for passing legislature that infringes so heavily on the rights of the state's LGBT community. "No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden," Springsteen wrote."

"Springsteen released a statement yesterday condemning the law, and the politicians behind it, who he described as "people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognising the human rights of all". He urged North Carolina to return to its Glory Days and void the law."

He noted that other stars, including Justin Bieber, would go to North Carolina in coming months.
Sounds like a challenge to me. Probably not the brightest of things to say.
