i mean…. i guess imagine dragons is as good as everyone says…..
Dan Reynolds really woke up that day and thought “I’m gonna give the gays everything they want”
Bit of background to this, Dan Reynolds (lead singer for Imangine Dragons) holds the LoveLoud concert (the concert these pictures were taken at) in Utah where the LDS or Mormon church is predominantly the culture and religion of the state.
Reynolds was raised Mormon (I don’t know if he is still practicing) but has created this concert to give hope and understanding to the LGBT+ community there, especially the youth.
Utah has an extreme problem with youth suicide, especially Mormon LGBT+ kids who feel especially stressed due to the Mormon religious regulations and beliefs against being LGBT, but also the cultural biases and attitudes of the people that ostracize even non-Mormon LGBT+
Reynolds has advocated for attention to these issues from the Church and State Government, and also uses the LoveLoud concert to gain attention to these issues (and if I’m not mistaken, donates any proceeds to charity for LGBT youth in the state)
As far as I know, he is not LGBT, just a great fucking ally who saw a need in his state/culture and has done his best help.
So yeah, not only do Imagine Dragon songs fucking slap, but they all screamed “GAY RIGHTS!” at a heavily conservative and anti-LGBT state to help create a safe space for gay kids.
