Celebrities Boycott North Carolina Over Bathroom Law
娛樂界抵制北卡廁所法
Several high-profile musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, Demi Lovato, and Pearl Jam have canceled concerts in North Carolina recently to protest the state’s controversial new bathroom bill. The new state law (HB2) bans individuals from using public washrooms that do not correspond to their birth gender. Some companies and organizations, including PayPal and the NBA, have also taken measures to show support for the LGBT community. Earlier this month, the US Department of Justice filed a suit against the state, saying that the bill violates civil rights.
近日為抗議北卡“廁所法”,包括布魯斯·斯普林斯汀、黛米·洛瓦托以及珍珠果醬樂隊在內的多名音樂人取消北卡演唱會。據新“HB2”法案規定,任何人只能按照出生性別使用公廁。包括PayPal以及NBA在內的多家企業和組織采取措施,以表達對“LGBT”社區的支持。本月早些時候,美司法部控告北卡州,稱此法案違背民權。
