布魯斯史普林斯汀抗議反同法取消北卡演唱會在美國北卡羅萊納州頒布新法，廢除對男女同性戀及跨性別人士的反歧視保護之後，搖滾巨星布魯斯．史普林斯汀(Bruce Springsteen)8日宣布，取消在北卡的演唱會。北卡的反同志法案引發排山倒海的批評，包括美國職業籃球(NBA)發表譴責聲明，以及舊金山市長李孟賢(Edwin M.Lee)、紐約州州長古莫(Andrew Cuomo)和西雅圖市長莫瑞(Ed Murray) 也都先後下達旅行禁令，禁止州政府員工花公帑到北卡旅遊或出差，並建議取消非必要的行程。有「工人皇帝」美譽的史普林斯汀，8日在個人網頁上發表聲明說，他取消了原定 10日在北卡格林斯伯勒(Greensboro)的演唱會，因為北卡的反LGBT(女同志、男同志、雙性戀者及跨性別者)新法，拒絕維護這些少數族群的權益。史普林斯汀表示，這項法令是那些無法容忍美國在認同所有公民人權上獲得進展的人們，想要試圖推翻這項進展的作法。因此，他和東街樂團(E Street Band)必須聲援那些自由鬥士，他們將取消在北卡的演唱會，至於已購票者將獲得退款。北卡議會是在上個月23日否決地方政府保護多元性別的法案，共和黨籍的北卡州長麥克羅利(Pat McCrory)也已簽署法案。這項法案中包括要求學童如廁時必須使用符合「生理性別」的廁所。這項決議是針對北卡最大的城市夏洛特市(Charlotte)而來。夏洛特市先前通過公共場所性別平權條款，允許民眾依照自己的性別認同使用廁所，但遭到否決。 http://www.appledaily.com.tw/realtimenews/article/new/20160409/834887/ Bruce Springsteen聲明全文 A Statement from Bruce Springsteen on North Carolina BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN·2016年4月9日 As you, my fans, know I’m scheduled to play in Greensboro, North Carolina this Sunday. As we also know, North Carolina has just passed HB2, which the media are referring to as the “bathroom” law. HB2 — known officially as the Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act — dictates which bathrooms transgender people are permitted to use. Just as important, the law also attacks the rights of LGBT citizens to sue when their human rights are violated in the workplace. No other group of North Carolinians faces such a burden. To my mind, it’s an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress. Right now, there are many groups, businesses, and individuals in North Carolina working to oppose and overcome these negative developments. Taking all of this into account, I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th. Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them. It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s Sunday April 10th show is canceled. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. https://goo.gl/izM73K -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 60.249.146.69 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/gay/M.1460272884.A.997.html
