Considering what happened in Raleigh... I’d hate to lose my hometown show.. but until my community are no longer treated as less-than, I’m willing to make the sacrifice.

    This sucks. People need to stop using their religion as reason to discriminate against others.

    There are so many better ways to raise awareness and show support rather than hurting the fans.

    Should we start a petition for them to cancel?

    It would suck for the good people of the region to lose a show but people here and people everywhere should stand with you on this issue.

    As much as it sucks to hurt the fans, they should challenge closed minds with open minds?

    It was a bit surprising that decided to play a few shows in deep red america.

    To me, it's a completely different country.  That is not a political statement

    Cancellation is a way of punishing the fans more than anything else. If you want to make a difference then play the show and donate the money to the cause.

    Once they decided to play there they should be committed to playing there. I'm stunned they decided to go to these 3 states in this era.

    Doubt it....I think it is better to go into the heart of these areas and criticize them on their own turf.  They can make a lot more noise by performing vs cancelling.

    The law is bigoted and done with bad intentions, there is no getting around that.  Unlike the issue in North Carolina, this is not turning people into criminals if they don't abide by a law.  It is restrictive, it is in horribly poor taste and it is meant to cause discrimination, but it is better fought in courts where it will not stand.

    How dare the people of Tennessee set their own standards or have beliefs that don’t go lock step with the new liberal group think program. Don’t worry libs. The day is coming where everyone will simply be clones of one another. What will you cry about then? You’ll find something

    Only in the US.  They have no problems ignoring things going on in other countries because "respect their culture"   It's hypocritical IMO.

    Sad. There are way too many orphans and kids in foster already. If someone wants them and they can provide they should be allowed. This is ridiculous. It's almost as if no one thinks about the kids.

    Unless they make their bigoted beliefs law.
    Get over what? Gay bashing. Thanks, but no.

    This wasn't the people.  The people didn't rise up and say we need this restriction on adoption in the state for the safety of certain religious groups.  Politicians wrote up a law at the behest of special interests with the intent of satiating the intellectual appetite of fear mongers.  It was not a proposition that was drafted and voted on by the people.  Don't be ridiculously obtuse for the point of poor effect.
