Mr. Springsteen, is this a fight worth having? (Updated.)

"There’s no way to make everyone happy about transgender bathrooms and locker rooms. So the priority ought to be finding a way to keep everyone safe."




VIDEO: Sexual predators take advantage of transgender laws  "It may not have been intended, but it was predictable.  This video spells out case after case of sexual predators entering women's locker rooms and dressing rooms and other private places that are speedily becoming "unprivate," demanding to shower and change with them." . . .



. . . "So the laws that permit males to invade that space simply have to be stopped, and any law that has already been implemented must be repealed.
"Enough is enough."

Bruce Springsteen cancels NC concert citing anti-trans law  . . .North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory signed HB2 into law last month. It prevents municipalities from raising their own minimum wages and repeals any municipalities' nondiscrimination ordinances, replacing them with a statewide ordinance that doesn't protect individuals based on sexuality. 
"The most controversial portion of the bill focused on bathrooms. It requires people use the bathrooms matching the sex on a person's birth certificate, regardless of their gender identity, while in public buildings.
"Backlash has been rolling in ever since. Springsteen was scheduled to perform April 10 in Greensboro, and announced Friday he wouldn't perform because of the law." . . .

Michael Moore joins Springsteen in a N.C. boycott  "In a message posted to his Twitter account Tuesday, the 61-year-old liberal documentary filmmaker said that he has asked the distributor of his latest film, Where to Invade Next, to withhold the film from theaters in North Carolina due to the state’s “bigoted law against LGBTQ” people."

In the liberal search for causes, how many more letters will be added to "LGBTQ"?

Hollywood loves Springsteen's boycott.  There are, of course other issues beside bathroom use that might have merited discussion, but transgender rest rooms have been the spoiler.


UPDATE: North Carolina Governor McCrory Signs Executive Order To Protect ‘Privacy And Equality’…

"Nothing is stopping a private business owner from installing a gender neutral bathroom, but a business owner’s choices must not be mandated by government." . . .

UPDATE: A Rape Survivor Speaks Out About Transgender Bathrooms  "There are countless deviant men in this world who will pretend to be transgender as a means of gaining access to the people they want to exploit."
