Beyonce is choosing to put love on top of hate by condemning the North Carolina bathroom law that has drawn the ire of many in the entertainment industry and beyond.
Though she performed in the Tar Heel State on Tuesday night, she drew a partition between herself and House Bill 2, which states that residents of North Carolina must use the bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond to their birth genders.
She called on her Beyhive to get in formation with a note on her official website.
“As the Formation World Tour makes its stop in the Tar Heel state in the midst of such a controversial time, we think it is important for us to bring attention to those who are committed to being good and carrying on the message of equality in this core of controversy,” the note reads.
She drew a halo around Equality NC, an organization dedicated to achieving equal rights for North Carolina’s LGBT community, and invited her followers to learn more about the group and its lobbying efforts.
Beyonce is far from the only musician or musical act to tell North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory not to fall crazy in love with the law. Artists ranging from Bruce Springsteen to Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato have decided to boycott the state until the law is repealed.
The pop star, who claims to run the world, found herself in political hot water earlier this year after many saw her Super Bowl performance of “Formation” as promoting violence against police.
Though she never truly said sorry, she did make sure to tell people like Rudy Guiliani, who called the performance “outrageous,” not to hurt yourself thinking too hard about any hidden meanings behind her song choice.
