Tell Gibraltar Hardware: Don't Support Artists Who Advocate Violence Toward Gays
The Issue
Gibraltar Hardware is a drumset and percussion company that works to make sure musicians are performing at their very best. Yet, on their Web site, they're promoting a man, Bradlee Dean, with extremely violent and discriminatory beliefs about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.
Among the more violent comments attributed to Bradlee Dean:
- "Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America. This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination."
- "[Homosexuals] play the victim when they are, in fact, the predator. On average, they molest 117 people before they're found out. How many kids have been destroyed, how many adults have been destroyed because of crimes against nature?"
- "And I say to the homosexual communities, I love you enough to tell you the truth, but you better get off the kids because, America, they are after your kids. That's what it is about. Get your hands off those kids, and I'm not asking. I'm telling you to get your hands off those kids."
Does Gibraltar Hardware really want to support and promote a musician with extreme views like this?
Send the company a message now, asking them to reconsider their support for a musician like Bradlee Dean.
