Dolly Parton last week was asked to
weigh in on North Carolina's controversial law that targets the LGBT
community.
House Bill 2 has drawn fire since it
was approved during a one-day special session in March. The law
blocks cities from enacting LGBT protections and prohibits
transgender people from using the bathroom of their choice in
government buildings, including schools.
The 70-year-old Parton kicked off her
Pure & Simple tour in Greensboro, North Carolina on Friday.
When asked about the state's law by CNN
Money, Parton answered that she hopes everybody “gets a chance to
be who and what they are.”
“I think everybody should be treated
with respect,” Parton
answered. “I don't judge people. I try not to get too caught
up in the controversy of things. I hope that everybody gets a chance
to be who and what they are. I just know, If I have to pee, I'm
going to pee. I don't care where it's going to be.”
