In North Carolina and Mississippi, Backlash Grows Over Rights LawWhen Bruce Springsteen canceled a concert in Greensboro, N.C., last weekend to protest a state law that many said curbed gay and transgender rights, it was only the latest fallout from the measure. Like similar legislation in Mississippi, it has drawn criticism across the country

I love how quickly people are registering their disgust and opposition. It's awesome. I also just saw this in the news tonight, Cyndi Lauper is going to play her NC show, but she's donating the proceeds to an LGBT charity in NC.

I like this idea. I'm kind of torn on the idea of cancelling shows. I totally understand why they are doing it, but it also sucks for the fans.

It really does. I like that she's going to be creative/supportive with the money she makes - I think that while Bruce Springsteen makes a bigger impact by pulling out, her impact in that regard might be less, but her donation will make a very *big* impact.

Yeah. I totally get Springsteen's decision, but I am actually seeing him tonight and if that show had been cancelled because of something awful my state did (I'm in Michigan, that is a pretty long list sighhhh) I would probably cry.
