Carly Rae Jepsen has canceled her appearance at a Boy Scouts of America concert over the group’s ban on openly gay members.
The “Call Me Maybe” singer was slated to perform at the National Scout Jamboree in July, but announced her decision to bail on Tuesday.
“As an artist who believes in equality for all people, I will not be participating in the Boy Scouts of America Jamboree this summer,” tweeted Jepsen on Tuesday.
She added, “I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level and stay informed on the ever changing landscape in the ongoing battle for gay rights in this country and across the globe.”
There’s been no response yet from the Boy Scouts.
