Artists or political activists?

Or both. The CCD protesting against North Carolina Amendment One (GA bill), which limits the kinds of legally recognized domestic unions and the rights of its members, giving privilege to marriage between a man and a woman:


Musicians are citizens too, and hence they have a right to be political advocates. But should those who supposedly have a vocation to bring beauty to the community not also respect the mores of that community? Are they subject to tradition or are they privileged, by reason of their celebrity, as moral innovators?

A first response would be to boycott entertainers with whom one disagrees on moral/social/political issues and are rather vocal about it. Why subsidize their living which also enables them to undermine the community? If musicians (or actors) had to work a real job, would they have time to make such political statements? What would the argument for continuing to patronize them be?
