Beyoncé, one of lime and another of sand

GAYLES.TV.- What Beyoncé is doing with the LGTBI themes is what is popularly known as "swimming and storing clothes". In other words, it does not suspend the action it had North Carolina, what would have supposed to join the boycott to the state summoned by other artists like protest with the recent norms transphobic, but that, from its web page defends the organizations that work for that law is revoked. They were? It is not a question of posing dichotomies of the type "you are with me or you are against me", but a little coherence would be appreciated.

But let's do a little history. The March 23 was passed in North Carolina a law popularly known as HB2 that, in addition to annulling the municipal ordinances that protected the LGTBI collective, it added a shameful norm that forces the transsexual citizens to use the public bathroom that corresponds to their biological sex and not to their felt sex. The argument that legislators give to approve such a measure is that they try to protect women from possible sexual predators that could assault them with impunity in the bathrooms? Anyway.

Numerous companies, banks and public bodies are carrying out a boycott of the state of North Carolina to draw global attention to this situation, but what is having the greatest impact are the protest actions of celebrities and artists annulling their actions in that state. In the list of those who join the boycott we find names like Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Sharon Stone, Cirque du Soleil, Bryan Adams, Nick Jonas or Demi Lovato. To this list has not joined Beyoncé and is in its right but it is still a bit irritating to take advantage of its passage through Carolina to "defend the many organizations that work for this law to be repealed, in particular the LGBT fighting group "Equality North Carolina". Ole you, Beyoncé!

The singer may believe that her message will have more resonance if she does not disappoint her followers and keeps the planned concerts, but without detracting from the support she gives to the LGTBI community, it must be said that this is not the first time that this gay icon disappoints us . We refer to his silence at a crucial moment in which a campaign on social networks asked him to take sides in favor of LGTBI people when a law was voted to repeal laws against the LGTBI phobia in Houston, your natal city.
