Meanwhile the definition of discrimination is: The unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.
If Springsteen showed up to do the show, walked out on stage and asked those in the crowd to raise their hands if they agreed with this law then proceeded to throw out everyone who raised their hands, he would be discriminating against them by refusing them access to his show because of their beliefs.

but he did discriminate against them by refusing access to his show. he just did it by throwing the baby out with the bathwater. no one gets in. bruce is the boss, he's made his point better in song writing. i can see the inconsistency in liberal views and actions, i think this is a good example of it. it's not a slur on bruce or his music to be realistic about that.
