Henry Rollins, Sandra Bernhardt, John Cameron Mitchell and Bob Mould to headline WEDrock at the 9:30 Club
Tuesday, October 5th, 2004 at 8PM
A Benefit Concert for Freedom To Marry
"However you feel about the institution, are we really going to sit back and let Bush enshrine fear and loathing into the Constitution?" John Cameron Mitchell
"Being a real American, all about that freedom, I cant think of anything more hateful and Un-American than someone taking the time to block the union of two people: When I see the happiness of the faces of the same sex couples as they take their vows, its so completely wonderful and brave and American." Henry Rollins
"The fact that the right is making a gigantic moral issue of gay marriage should outrage most Americans. If you take the religious argument out of the picture, you eliminate a lot of the rhetoric that the Right base their arguments on." Bob Mould
