Tegan and Sara respond to California anti-gay amendment
Canadian duo, Tegan and Sara have responded to California's Proposition 8, which rescinds the right for homosexuals to marry.When speaking out in their latest blog, they draw attention continuing problems in the punk and music communities.
'Although I am grateful for the legislation that has made me "equal" in the eyes of the law, you cannot legislate away people's disgust or ignorance. You can't remove the stinging intolerance and slurs of homophobic audience members' words in my ears.
I am fueled by the idea that my life as a message dismantles the public's image of gay people as sexual deviants, as less than, as being abnormal.'
