Rise Against honors LGBT!

[Darkfox Soldier]

I don't know if you guys have heard their new album yet (Endgame) but you should take a listen to their song 'Make it Stop.' The song focuses on the suicides of last September, the struggles of LGBT youth/students, and directly mention some of the students in the song.

'Tyler Clementi age 18. Billy Lucas age 15. Harrison Chase Brown age 15. Cody J. Parker age 17. Seth Walsh age 13.' Each of them mention just like that near the end of the song.

Make It Stop (September's Childern) By Rise Against  

[Atrum_Anima]

A really awesome song. I need to add it to my iPod.  

[Raving Exile]

[Lephantys]

man i had to post this to facebook. i know rise against have always stood for whats right, but i didnt know it extended to lgbt.  

[Rainbows Last Muse]

Going on my Facebook. The last few lines really get me.

"And too much blood has flown from the wrist,
Of children shamed for those they chose to kiss.
Who will rise to stop the blood.
We're coming for,
Insisting on, a different beat, yeah.
A brand new song."

I knew I liked this band for a reason xD

 

[LillLazaru5]

Wow. I haven't heard of this band until now. This is such a wonderful song, and it really does stand up for LGBT! The next time I charge my IPOD Shuffle, I will definitely add this song. heart  

[Reveladom]

Well of all things, can it be really? Yes! No! Oh! Hi! Oh, my eye!

Holy...... Sh**..... I just got the Goose Bump and Misty Eyed effects....

My mind may be wondering, but I confess, I believe it is Old Deuteronomy!
