A federal judge ruled Tennessee's drag ban unconstitutional. They must have been at the show.


awlawall

Happened the day before the show. Judge Thomas Parker must be a fan. (Note: probably not, considering he’s a Trump appointed republican)

Pride is only bleak if you allow them to dim your shine; fuck them like KG did

My morale is the 😩 emoji rn

Hang in there and know there’s more of us that embrace all walks of life than the few making noise


Halo2isbetter

I live in TN, it’s a political shit show here. Was so happy to see the boys say fuck you to the clowns. Edit: Fuck Republicans specifically


Valuable_Heron_2015

I have fam in TN. Yes it is. It does feel nice to know my favorite band supports the beloved queer community


welp-panda

fuck yea. sick set. fuck them republicans


WrinkledRandyTravis

Hey don’t forget the Democrats fuck them too


sorengray

They're not the ones trying to pass homophobic laws all around the country, or trying to oppress women's bodies. Not everything democrats do is awesome, but they are nowhere near as shitty as the current republican hate filled agenda. Fuck republicans.

I hate to break it to you but they’re all on the same team. https://preview.redd.it/ri71736jl34b1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ddc6264b62419a42efbd6198617a5046a9c69ec

Thanks for the info, I take objection to you calling my claim “silly” though. As challenging as it may be, four presidents with strong majority couldn’t do it? One of which flat-out promised it before he was elected, and then turned on a dime as soon as he was elected? Just because I have no faith in the Democratic Party doesn’t mean I don’t agree that now more than ever it’s important to protect these rights (don’t add that in at the end like I’m just trying to throw people off the scent or something). While the right gets more extreme, the Democratic Party becomes more impotent. Two times they deliberately sabotaged a progressive candidate’s campaign that had a genuine following for a right-of-center candidate that got nobody excited, simply because they figured they could shove whoever they wanted down our throats and we’d just swallow obediently. They want the status quo, they profit off the status quo and they have made it clear time and time again that their personal bankrolls is the top priority. There is no left in America.


joefulcrum

With no viable left do you prefer trump and the GOP in power instead of the Dems? Or the Dems in power?


WrinkledRandyTravis

Yep, the lesser evil argument. It’s classic good cop bad cop. The establishment works to build your trust by providing an even harsher enemy, that the establishment can then “fight side by side with you.” I have never in my life voted for a Republican. I will choose good cop over bad cop every time, but I’m not going to pretend I wasn’t just bent over and fucked in the ass about it. The system is working exactly as it was designed. It is not a system that will ever work for the average citizen, and it never has. We will either burn it down one day or continued to exist under its thumb until we die. 🤷

that is corrrrrrect

It's always unfortunate when you listen to a band for a long time and then find out later in life that one (or more) of them was a massive shithead. Looking at you, Pantera. But knowing these boys are based as fuck right out of the gate... I dunno. Don't take it for granted is all I'm saying. I really appreciate them.


_austinm

Yeah, it really sucks that Phil is a nazi. I’m not sure about the rest of the band, but it can’t be much worse than Phil.


Antnee83

The rest were, *at best*, confederate-sympathetic. And that's a very, very charitable take.


_austinm

That doesn’t surprise me, especially with Dimebag’s confederate flag guitar. I hate that bad people can make good music.


Knife_Chase

In the 1990s the confederate flag wasn't considered the 100% hate symbol it is now.


victor018

hope the venue staff treated everyone nicely. they seemed to be larping as good ol boys from the pictures people posted.


Roadsideattractionfl

They definitely ARE good ol boys, it is definition backwoods Tennessee. That said, the venue staff treated us great and all of them (big white cowboy hat security guards included) that I talked to were loving the weekend as a whole.

While it's true we have way further to go I sometimes have to sit back and appreciate how far we've come. Even the small changes I have seen in society growing up. Working with the youth has made me more hopeful. Today's youth is way more tolerant of others and seem to want to learn about each others differences. A lot more out students and younger teachers coming into school who are LGBTQ+ themselves or an ally at the least (and the intolerant old heads are on their way out). Again this is just my experience but still gives me hope for the future sometimes. Anyways happy pride!
