I have been listening to all this rhetoric concerning the celebrities who have decided that they no longer want to go to North Carolina to perform, due to the HB2 law on the bathroom and other rights issues that the state's legislature has passed.   I have seen the list and I find the misuse of their position in "taking a stand against the hatred of the LGBT.  AreIn't they doing the same?  Isn't their cancellations of concerts that were contractually signed, showing a hatred toward anyone who doesn't agree with their opinion???   I don't seem them standing up for the rights of the women, a great majority of them, who have lost the right to use the restroom without a man....walking into the restroom and using it right beside me?   It doesn't matter whether I feel threatened.......let's take our rights to a little privacy or at the very least just feeling uncomfortable using the restroom with the opposite gender standing right outside the door waiting his turn or in the stall next to me....and give consideration to a group of people who have decided to change genders.  If they truly are transgendered and I couldn't tell then what did it matter anyway.  However,  if it's that important to them that they would put their rights over mine as a woman born that way, then why don't they take the steps to change it on their birth certificate?   I realize that the HB2 law is suppose to be about more than just the bathrooms, but much of that has been that way for awhile.....in most states.  I think that it's these celebrities who have cancelled engagement who have forgotten how they got to where they are.   There are fans in all states....and I would bet that they wouldn't agree with all the laws of every state...but they haven't cancelled engagements in every state.  They would risk losing the fans who have obviously been forgotten and disregarded, to "stand in the gap" for a few?   Shame on them.....Ringo Starr even cited that"We need to take a stand against this hatred.
