Out singer Boy George says he would
perform in Indiana despite the state's so-called religious freedom
law.
Republican Governor Mike Pence on
Thursday signed an updated version of the bill that includes LGBT
protections. A week earlier, Pence's signature unleashed a wave of
criticism from business leaders and LGBT rights groups concerned that
the bill targeted the LGBT community.

During an appearance on Larry King
Now, host Larry King asked Boy George to weigh in on the
controversy.
“Well there are things around the
world, there's a thing at the moment in Ireland, which is a similar
thing,” he
answered. “It's kinda old fashioned. You know, it's like,
move on. It's so crazy.”
“If you were scheduled to perform in
Indiana, would you not perform?” King asked.
“It's important to bring your music
to the people that love you. So, if you're depriving the little gay
boys and girls of Indiana of your music, then that's probably not a
good thing to do.”
