Fall Out Boy against Prop. 8

Isabel wrote about it in her political blog: Proposition 8 in California – the initiative to overturn the legalization of same-sex-marriage in California.

One of my favourite bands, Fall Out Boy, is supporting the "NO" campaign. While some bands like U2 are known for their philanthropic efforts, some simply aren't. Fall Out Boy is one of those bands. However, they're doing everything they can to change that.

They donated $50,000 Dollars to the efforts to defeat Prop. 8, which will be appear on the state's ballots on Election Day (11/4/2008).

Bassist Pete Wentz said: "There are a lot of causes out there — a lot of 'good' fights to be fought. I think Proposition 8 is pretty lame — as many others do, too. It's fucking lame."

Another statement of the band to the Proposition and their donation is kept simple and short:
"We believe government shouldn’t legislate love. Vote 'no' on Proposition Eight."
