I want to come and play in cities and states where transgender citizens are not discriminated against, where there's no hateful bathroom bills at the shows where I'm going to be playing.

Anyone who is awake and aware knows that these quote-unquote bathroom bills or any legislation discriminating against LGBTQ citizens is horrible.

When I was growing up, it was a lot of punk and hardcore music going on in legion halls and firehouses, and we'd play those shows, and it was very Jersey. It was very suburban, and there's just a great pride there.

In 1969 America put the man on the moon.
In 2016 America put the man in the women's bathroom.

That's what is incredible about human beings, is the choice to keep going.

When I started playing in bands, we had to be apologetic for what we did. We had to be apologetic because the mainstream was so bad.
