Celebrities Boycott North Carolina Over Bathroom Law
娱乐界抵制北卡厕所法
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.
近日为抗议北卡“厕所法”，包括布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀、黛米·洛瓦托以及珍珠果酱乐队在内的多名音乐人取消北卡演唱会。据新“HB2”法案规定，任何人只能按照出生性别使用公厕。包括PayPal以及NBA在内的多家企业和组织采取措施，以表达对“LGBT”社区的支持。本月早些时候，美司法部控告北卡州，称此法案违背民权。
