I doubt Bryan Adams and Billy Ray Cyrus would’ve guessed (more than twenty years ago when the above photo was taken) that they’d be advocating that gender confused men should be able to use the girls’ bathrooms.

But that’s exactly what’s going on.  Ever since North Carolina and Mississippi made the biologically correct decision to keep public restrooms separated by sex, there have been cries of “discrimination” and boycotts from businesses and celebrities.

It began with Bruce Springsteen suddenly canceling his show in Greensboro, NC and offering refunds to 15,000 disappointed fans, some of whom actually showed up because they didn’t get the memo.

Then Canadian rocker Bryan Adams followed suit canceling his Biloxi, MS show saying he won’t play in a state where “people are being denied their civil rights due to their sexual orientation.” Yet, Adams is letting his progressive hypocrisy show in that he had no problem playing a recent show in a Muslim country (Egypt) known for its harsh treatment of homosexuals.

And now Billy Ray Cyrus’s “Achy Breaky Heart” is broken after witnessing these southern states stand up for religious freedom in ensuring that citizens and businesses can’t be forced to do something that violates their faith. Cyrus and the others consider these bills anti-LGBT:

“I would feel negligent to not speak up. In light of my good friend, Bryan Adams, taking a stand and my daughter [Miley Cyrus] having been on the ground floor of this movement, this issue is very important to me.

“As a friend and dad… I’ve witnessed this fight from the very beginning. I think everyone should be treated equal. We’ve come too far; we can’t mess this up.”

So, in typical fashion, leftist celebrities fight against what they perceive as discrimination by discriminating against people of faith or ideas they don’t agree with. Springsteen said he decided to cancel because there are more important things than a rock show and that is “fight[ing] against prejudice and bigotry.”

Hum… that would mean he is tolerant, right? Not of everyone, that’s for sure.
