Jonas and Lovato issued a statement on Twitter on Monday saying they are cancelling the shows in Raleigh and Charlotte this summer because the goal of their concerts are to allow every person to feel equal, included and accepted.
The statement says the North Carolina law that limits government protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens is hateful.
