Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace Burns Birth Certificate at N.C. Show: 'Goodbye, Gender!'

FUSE TV - Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace Burns Birth Certificate at N.C. Show: 'Goodbye, Gender!'

March and April were filled with musicians canceling their North Carolina concerts in protest of HB2, a law mandating transgender men and women to use the bathroom corresponding with the gender on their birth certificates. Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace told BuzzFeed she'd use her band's show in N.C. "as a form of protest to say that despite whatever stupid laws they enact, trans people are not going to be scared."

Then, at Sunday's concert at Durham's Motorco Music Hall, Grace burned her birth certificate, labeled Thomas James Gabel. Watch below as she grins at the flaming document and says, "Goodbye, gender" (via Consequence of Sound):
