Lovato wore a top emblazoned with a symbol combining male and female bathroom symbols, often used by proponents of genderless or “inclusive” bathrooms.
The controversy erupted over a North Carolina law requiring that transgender individuals use bathrooms and changing facilities that correspond with their biological sex rather than their gender identity.
Lovato cancelled performances in North Carolina in protest over the law.
