we gonna do a big gay ATLANTA wedding (+ ticket giveaway!) (Patreon)

(patron-only)
hey loves
this weekend i hit THE SOUTH.
i’ve been posting frequently about abortion news and if you’re in america and paying attention you know about georgia and what’s happening. if you haven’t been....
abortion is effectively being criminalized.
and it’s leading up to a concerted effort to get the supreme court to overturn roe v. wade. women’s human rights in america are in grave danger.
i can't watch this happen without changing tacks and acting loudly. i need your help.
we'll have volunteers from the local affiliates of PLANNED PARENTHOOD at both the atlanta and nashville shows. they need our support, now more than ever. go talk to them in the lobby, see how you can help, volunteer, take action and donate.
also:
the venues i am playing are MASSIVE. this was a coincidence - it was either play the 700 seat house or the 3k one, and i chose big because who ever knows.
this is the cobb energy performing arts centre in atlanta
and the ryman auditorium in nashville...
(i'll be doing a patron ticket giveaway to the nashville show within the next few days, keep your eyes peeled for it.)
................
this is the most personal and yet political show i’ve ever done. i am not going to take for granted that i’m about to go to georgia and speak openly about my own abortions.
if i don’t change any minds, i can at least help break the stigma and remind women and men that they are not alone in their feelings and experiences. and that this fight against fear and fascism is a collective effort.
so this show is, for me, going to be a cross between the usual show but also a rally, a moment, a call to arms. feel free to come early to the show and rally outside with me at around 5:15pm for a photo - let's send a message to the internet about our feelings. oh wait...i may be busy....wait, OH SHIT! that's right!
we are having a WEDDING!!!!!
YES. two of our own, jen & nicole, are GETTING MARRIED IN ATLANTA BEFORE THE SHOW, they've asked me to officiate, and i said YES.
WHY NOT
to do so, i just got re-ordained by the universal life church! YEAH....
so, yeah.
we're gonna do this.
big gay atlanta wedding (plus pro-choice rally?), here we come.
please meet outside the atlanta venue this friday, may 17th, at around 5pm, 5:30pm LATEST.
please bring anything you want to make noise, celebrate, add to the joy.
come dressed for....well, a wedding. you know what to do....
this is their WEDDING. let's make it memorable.
i think i have FOUND A MARCHING BAND!!!!!!
i mean....how could you miss this.
please spread the word - the public can come to the wedding - and we will hitch these freaks in style!!!!!!!!!!!!
.................
and now....to sweeten the deal.
