Transgender toilet destination

Ringo Starr has cancelled an upcoming performance in North Carolina over the state's controversial transgender bathroom law.

The former Beatles drummer is the latest entertainer, following Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams, to cancel a US gig over controversial state legislation involving the LGBT community.

"I'm sorry to disappoint my fans in the area, but we need to take a stand against this hatred," Starr said in a statement. "Spread peace and love."

Starr had been scheduled to perform at the Koka Booth Ampitheatre in Cary, west of Raleigh, on 18 June.

His decision to axe the show comes as North Carolina's governor tries to stem mounting backlash over the state's transgender law.

Two companies - PayPal and Deutsche Bank - have announced their intention to scrap plans to add jobs in the state.

Several other major corporations, including Google, Apple, IBM and American Airlines, have also condemned the North Carolina law.

The measure, signed by Governor Pat McCrory in March, forces transgender people to use public toilets that match their birth genders.

Critics have decried the North Carolina law and similar "religious freedom" measures in southern states like Mississippi as an attack on the LGBT community.

Supporters argue the measures are necessary to keep women and children safe and to protect religious liberties.

BBF: There are certainly two sides to this story. Genuine transgenders have a case for using women's toilets or definitely not men's toilets but I could imagine naughty straight males taking advantage. They could dress as women (as Blocker used to ha ha) then enter the Byron Bay change rooms and get 6 eyefuls of gorgeous lovely ladies in various stages of undress. They would be in like Finn lining up to enter. Todd and Mitch could have a field day.

I don't care about protecting the religious liberties of conservatives of not allowing genuine transgenders in.

The men's northern outer ground dunny at Leichhardt is more like an underground medieval dungeon chamber.

The law in NC is crazy.

I've a mate who was Cooper for 25 years and is now Ivy… and freaking hot!
She is so happy now as she's found herself and who she really is. Confident, social, active.
I'm so happy for her.

She needs to use the female toilets because she is a she, not a he.

I can well understand and have in-laws the same, but couldn't you imagine some "perverted" guys dressing up just to get into the women's change rooms in e.g. Byron Bay beach for a purve. When you consider that some guys take pics up skirts must be a red rag to a bull to get into those change rooms.

Funny thing is that Bryan Adams has toured Dubai in the past, where homosexuality is punishable by death. Guess when he saw the size of the cheque for that tour, he suddenly didn't care about "progressive" rights as much as he likes to portray.

Wish these brain dead musicians would just play music and stop pretending people care what they think about social issues.

However I'm sure the government of North Carolina will be devastated that a few over the hill geriatrics wont be able to re-live their former glory days on stage.

Ringo was never really a star, he has become even anti-Beatle with his comments re Sgt Peppers that has it's 50th anniversary next year June 1, I am having a party. Ringo was always corny etc. no wonder Lennon never really respected him.

Why is there a 'but'?
Weirdos could go about doing that now - it's just as illegal in Byron Bay as it is in NC.

Rebecca Wilson needs a dunny to use… she/he has a foot in both camps at the moment.

One way to settle this issue is unisex toilets.
