Dolly Parton has \u2018no plans\u2019 to cancel North Carolina concerts because of HB2<\/b>
\n\"Dolly<\/p>\n

Dolly Parton, an outspoken supporter of LGBTI equality in recent years, still plans to kick off her 2016 concert tour in Greensboro, North Carolina despite the state’s controversial HB2 law.<\/p>\n

‘I have no plans to cancel the show,’ Parton said Tuesday (26 April) during a conference call<\/a> with reporters about the tour.<\/p>\n

‘I believe that everybody ought to be treated with respect, but I feel we will serve better from the stage,’ she added. ‘I don’t like to get caught up in controversial issues. I will address whatever I need to from the stage.’<\/p>\n

HB2 bans all local LGBTI rights ordinances in the state.<\/p>\n

It was pushed forward to override an ordinance in Charlotte that would have allowed transgender people to use the bathroom of their gender identification.<\/p>\n

Artists including Boston, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Nick Jonas, Demi Lovato and Blue Man Group have called off gigs in the Tar Heel State.<\/p>\n

Cyndi Lauper, Joel McHale, and Mumford & Sons performed (or will in the future), promising to donate funds to local LGBTI organizations.<\/p>\n
