Dixie Chicks Support Gender Inclusivity At North Carolina Show With Kick-Ass Hats

TheDixie Chicks have alreadytaken on Donald Trumpand called outcountry musics hypocrisy during their DCX MMXVI World Tour, so its no surprise they made their North Carolina performances political.While playing stops in Charlotte and Raleigh, the band handed out hats that read No hate in our state with a symbol representing gender inclusivity for all.The Dixie Chicks spoke about the hats, which are a direct hit against North Carolinas discriminatory bathroom bill.The anti-LGBT law, known as House Bill 2 or HB2, denies transgender people the ability to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity and enables discriminationagainst queer people living in the state. After North Carolina passed the bathroom bill in March, many entertainers ' like Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Maroon 5andNick Jonas and Demi Lovato canceled their NC shows.We have a favor to ask, Natalie Maines told the Raleigh crowd, according to the News & Observer. Since we didnt cancel our show youre also the only state we bought gifts for could you pull out the hats that we gave you' Cause we love to support positivity. Peace and love, peace and love.FREE HATS courtesy @1NatalieMaines @martiemaguire & @EmilyRobison tonight!
