Bryan Adams Cancels Concert in Mississippi over Anti-LGBT Law
-------------------------------------------------------------

Musician Bryan Adams has canceled a Thursday concert in Biloxi,
Mississippi, to protest the state's new law allowing some groups and
businesses to deny service to LGBT people. Adams said in a statement: "I
cannot in good conscience perform in a State where certain people are
being denied their civil rights due to their sexual orientation." His
move comes after Bruce Springsteen canceled a show in North Carolina to
protest another new anti-LGBT law in that state.
