“It seems unlikely that voters would pass Issue 1 to raise the amendment threshold, but if they somehow did, it appears that the abortion measure could also pass.”

I brought up Beyonce because she pretends to care about LGBT people to make money but then betrays them by performing in Dubai to make money.   Did you have trouble following that in my original comment?  

OR, she could refuse to play in homophobic/bigoted areas. Hell, the Beatles refused to play in segregated venues.

I feel like this is a very complicated situation but the ire should squarely lie on the country that is being discriminatory rather than the person doing “provocative” stuff on stage.

Yeah. If they are cool. If they are a selfish evil asshole like Beyonce then they can just shut up and sing. Idiot.

I don’t see effort on Jezebel’s part, or in the NME article it’s lightly-rewriting, to verify that any of the anonymous tweets it’s quoting are a) who they say they are or b) representative of anyone’s opinion but their own. Twitter is full of people appropriating identities in order to add “authenticity” to their…

Beyonce uses LGBT people to make money and then betrays them when she goes to Dubai to entertain bigots for cash. Why are you defending such an obvious selfish dogshit person? Beyonce uses slave labor to make her trashy clothes. She’s proven who she is time and time again. She’s a selfish, evil, greedy sack of shit. …

lol I’m sure you will defeat religious backed bigotry with well reasoned arguments.

Yeah. He should be like Beyonce. When Beyonce plays a homophobic place like Dubai she knows that she must respect the local culture and help fuel bigotry against gay people because the hate filled people of Dubai are paying her lots of money.   If only more artists were like Beyonce maybe we can shove gay people back…

This feels like a “many things can be true at once” things. Yes healy was ham-fisted in handling this, but the lens of this article also reeks of “my opinion on this depends on whether or not i already like this person”. If beyonce had done anything close to this at her private, millionaires-only dubai concert the…

What a hilarious dude.   Compare that to Beyonce who goes to Dubai and says nothing about how they treat LGBT people because Beyonce only cares about herself.    

You’re scared of girls and gays and black people so nobody needs to take you seriously. Never forget that.

Honestly, I’d rate this show above Enterprise and Voyager. Its just so unabashedly fun, it makes exploration interesting again. 

Lighten up, Francis.

They weren’t just taking a quick picture of the stage. They staged and posed for a group shot during a song. That’s distracting and shitty. Paying for a ticket gives you the right to attend, watch, and listen.

come on. this is not a selfie, it’s an orchestrated group photo in which they clearly used flash, a big no no. secondly, as a music photographer based in Nashville who, while trying to do my job during the thousands of shows I’ve shot, I’ve constantly been stopped and bothered by these drunk white people insisting I…

This isn’t a selfie though. Someone is clearly taking the picture of them.

At least four of those women have called the cops when a black person walked a dog on their street and the other two couldn’t find their phone.

Maybe stop making performing artists the backdrop for some dogshit picture. It’s wildly disrespectful.

Uhh, they’re clearly right in front of Lambert in the first row. I can’t imagine how distracting that would be mid-song and she was 100% in the right to call them out. Not that the message appears to have landed.
