Cirque du Soleil has cancelled its upcoming North Carolina show dates over the state’s HB2 law.

The Canadian-based entertainment company had performances scheduled in Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh. Following suit with performers like Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr the Cirque will be skipping their planned stops.

“Cirque du Soleil strongly believes in diversity and equality for every individual and is opposed to discrimination in any form,” the company wrote in a statement on Facebook. “The new HB2 legislation passed in North Carolina is an important regression to ensuring human rights for all.”

“Cirque du Soleil believes in equality for all. It is a principle that guides us with both our employees and our customers. We behave as change agents to reach our ultimate goal of making a better world with our actions and our productions,” the statement continues.

The company will offer refunds for ticket purchases.
