Who cares if this was a 'power grab'. Cooper only won by 10,000 votes in North Carolina because he linked up with the Gay Mafia to run on an agenda that would force NC to allow men dressed up as women to be able to use female bathroom's. In other words, karma is a bitch.

Liberal Rocker Bryan Adams Cancels Mississippi Concert Over New “anti-gay” Law After Playing In Homosexual-Condemning Egypt Last Month

HotAir.com:

This guy toured Egypt just last month and his biggest complaint at the time was that customs officials scribbled on one of his vintage guitars. Being gay isn’t technically illegal there but it is, after all, a Muslim country so gays are arrested on euphemistic charges like “debauchery.” Punishment can be harsh too: The CNN story at the last link mentions one sentence of 12 years. Egyptian police are known to pose as gay men and women on gay dating apps like Grindr to try to entrap locals; humiliations like anal probes also aren’t unheard of during arrests.  

The dark irony, per this Independent story on persecution of gays in Egypt, is that “secular” regimes like Mubarak’s and Sissi’s have cracked down harder than the Muslim Brotherhood did during the brief period a few years ago when they ruled the country. The reason is politics: Because the secularists are forever under suspicion of being “un-Islamic” compared to the Islamists, they try to prove their piety to Egyptians by making an example of gays. You would think all of this would weigh heavily on a right-thinking pro-gay bro like Bryan Adams, but like I say, either he didn’t care or didn’t care to know. How come? It’s strange, unless his Mississippi boycott is nothing more than moral peacocking.

Either his consciousness about gay rights was raised only very recently or Adams is less concerned with draconian persecution of gays abroad than with the off-chance that someone who wants a devout Christian to photograph their gay wedding might not be able to force them to do so. You could try to defend the double standard, I guess, by claiming that Adams’s boycott might have some small modicum of influence over public opinion here whereas a boycott of Muslim states would have none whatsoever, but that argument doesn’t fly. For one thing, a sincere moral objection — “I cannot in good conscience” — doesn’t depend on whether your objection moves others. It’s a statement of where you, personally, draw the line. If Adams is bothered by the persecution of gays, he should find the thought of playing Egypt more repugnant than playing Mississippi.  

Yeah, yunno because when you're a self-righteous, hypocritical liberal celebrity, being consistent about your so-called 'moral conscience' isn't required.
