Sexual McCarthyism, even, or especially from Bruce Springsteen

And the silly brouhaha in the Republican Party is about to put people like this back in charge of our country. TD

"I’m old enough to remember a time when civil rights struggles focused on noble causes such as removing the barriers that kept black people from voting. Previous generations of civil rights activists fought so blacks and whites could use the same voting booth. This generation of activists fights so men and women can use the same bathroom stall. One could say that liberal activism has really gone down the toilet.

"If you can wade through all of the activist hysteria, it is worth taking a look at the substance of the claims of supporters of the Charlotte, North Carolina transgendered bathroom ordinance. It is disturbing that such an ordinance ever passed through any city government and had to be stopped by the state legislature. Perhaps even more disturbing than the substance of their claims is the set of tactics used by LGBT activists to enforce the views of a small minority against the strong opposition of the majority. There are many, but here is an overview of some of the guilty parties:"  Below is a brief outline of what this column covers.

SPRINGSTEEN Deliberately Hurt Fans, Workers by Cancelling NC Show in Stand Against Law Banning Men From Women’s Bathrooms

"Millionaire rock star Bruce Springsteen deliberately chose to ‘hurt economically’ fans, workers and small businesses by his last minute cancellation of a concert in Greensboro, North Carolina set for Sunday in protest of a state law known as HB2 that bans men from using women’s bathrooms. Springsteen cancelled the date Friday afternoon, just two days before the April 10 show which would have featured the complete playing of his 1980 album, The River.

"Rolling Stone reported Springsteen guitarist Steve Van Zandt said backstage Friday night at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn that Springsteen and his band, The E Street Band, chose to hurt the people of North Carolina to punish them for the state’s new law protecting women and girls from ‘transgender’ men using women’s bathrooms.

“ 'We just felt the issue was just too important,” Van Zandt said. “This really vile and evil[!] discrimination is starting to spread state to state and we thought, ‘We better take a stand right now and catch it early.'”

"…“It’s unfortunately the only way people understand. You have to hurt them economically in order to have them do the right thing morally, unfortunately,” the guitarist said, adding that he hoped Springsteen’s efforts in the state would “set some kind of example for others.' ”. . .
