Episode 111 – Money Born in the USA Cuts Like a Knife

With the implementation of various states’ laws stripping the LGBTQ Communities of their Rights and Dignity, various high profile protests have come out. Both Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Bryan Adams have very publicly canceled their concerts in North Carolina and Mississippi, both voicing their objections to these laws. And yet some have reported that they’ve chosen, “… to discriminate against North Carolinians, due to their state legislature and the majority of the citizens being opposed to transgender people being allowed to pick which bathroom they would like to use.”

So, who is the one discriminating against whom?
