Hey, everybody, Sunny here.
I'm here writing about a topic that is becoming more popular in the recent months, but has been a continual issue throughout many years: Chick-Fil-A's relationship with the LGBT community. For over five years it's been made very clear that the family running CFA is giving money to anti-gay organizations (I will link the wiki and several other sources, if you don't trust wikipedia then check the sources it sites, all of it is good info). The family, in question, is the Cathy family, who has a fortune of at least eleven billion dollars, making them the 15th wealthiest family in our country. While their wealth isn't inherently a moral issue, it's what they do with it that I have an issue with. As a family running a corporation, they can't be sued for giving money to whomever they choose. This loophole has resulted in them giving money to organizations like that the National Christian Foundation, who in has had many supportive endeavors with Scot Lively, a minister known for his illegitimacy and spreading anti-LGBT beliefs to Uganda. You may know him as the man trying to "take back" the rainbow as a symbol of the LGBT community. In the U.S. he's very seriously. To the point that he was allowed to address the Ugandan parliament for five hours. The fact that one of the main supporters of such a cause is so ingrained in our society is inherently wrong. As a society already being fucked in the ass constantly by fascist corporations, we need to start fighting back. RMAC is currently trying to get a petition signed showing those that choose to stand with the LGBT community and fight against this corporation by boycotting. I will also start organizing "die-ins," where we will lay on the ground with signs inside CFA franchises representing those oppressed and the members of the LGBT community killed for their own authenticity. We are also trying to throw a show with the Thumbscrews and any other artist we can fit on the bill in order to raise money for LGBT organizations in Georgia, any artist interested should contact Aidan or I about said gig. Please, start fighting back. Quit sharing instagram post and actually do something about corporate corruption. This is your chance.

The Callous Daoboys was formed on, according to their Facebook, August 29, 1293, and have since gone through several lineup changes before settling on the current and most well-known lineup. They describe themselves as "mathcore metalcore," "outlaw queer metal," and "high-strung metal core, chaotic mathcore." They have two EPs, one stand-alone single, one album, Die On Mars, and have accumulated a strong cult-following.
Michael Cera Palin formed on February 13, 2015 with the goal of making "punky/emo music." They were together for three years, releasing two singles and two EPs before breaking up in the midst of a personal crisis one of the band members was facing. However, that crisis has been resolved, and they have reformed to the excitement of the Atlanta indie community. You can read the whole story of their break-up and reformation on their instagram, @michalcerapalin. With these two bands now on the bill, the night is sure to attract a lot more fans, and should definitely be on your bucket-list. Or at least on your to-do list. Anyway, there will be another post once more bands have been announced and any additional information is given. Don't miss this show, and remember, do it your fucking self!! |
