That Gay Thread

[AkiraTheViking]

That time in 2014 when the Metal Band, The Amity Affliction, showed their support for gay rights and it wasn't even pride month: https://metalinsider.net/interviews/the-...tereotypes

Interviewer: So on tour the Rocketown show – where you came out with the message on your hand – was that planned out? Did you know the past of the club?

Joel: I’d been Tweeted by a girl that went to the show and had read about it – so that added to the fact that our tour manager came out and was like, “you can’t swear, you can’t sell that shirt”

Ahren: Well, you can swear in your song but you can’t swear between songs. Even though we have the whole crowd saying ”Fuck the Reaper.” It’s like, what’s the fucking difference?

Joel: So I was aware, and I do stand up for gay rights. I think there should not be such a thing as “gay rights” ‘cause it makes no fucking sense. They’re gay, they should have the same rights as everybody. They’re just another fucking guy or girl. Who cares? There are straight and gay people fucking right now, and we don’t even know about it (laughs). It does not affect us in any way, so I don’t understand it; it gets to me.
