ITP V.018 SOCIAL JUSTICE: HRC WORKING AGAINST LGBTQ DISCRIMINATION

 Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has sent the below statement as the organization is working against LGBTQ discrimination.










FROM HRC:

It’s happening again.

From Oklahoma to New York to Arizona and beyond ... legislators are using their power to try to legalize discrimination against LGBTQ people.

We won’t stand for it, and I hope you won’t either, Theresa. Please take action against the 110+ anti-LGBTQ bills pending — sign HRC’s No Hate in My State pledge now!

Our goal is 1,000 signatures from NY by midnight. HRC needs to show we have support from members in ALL 50 states and DC to fight shameful attempts to deny LGBTQ people equal protections under the law, such as:

• HIV Criminalization Bills. It’s hard to believe, but in New York, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Oklahoma and West Virginia, our opponents are trying to pass laws that target people living with HIV & AIDS.
• Bills that Deny Foster Kids a Forever Home with LGBTQ Families. Right now, a bill is moving through the Oklahoma state legislature that would make it legal to turn down qualified LGBTQ Oklahomans seeking to adopt or become foster parents to children in need.
• Ballot Measures Targeting Transgender Youth. In just a few days, voters in Anchorage will go to the polls to vote on Prop 1, which would rip away crucially important protections against discrimination for transgender people — including protections in public schools.

With so much on the line, it is essential that HRC’s army of activists, allies and LGBTQ people unite. Strengthen our fight — sign the No Hate in My State pledge!

Right now, our staff and volunteers are on the ground — they’re organizing, protesting, educating voters and meeting with legislators. But we need more people speaking out in NY and across the country. Get mad, get loud and join us!

Thanks-Signing this pledge is an easy way to help. Thank you for believing in equality — and fighting for it.


Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

LYCHGATE: STREAMING "THE CONTAGION IN NINE STEPS" VIA BLOOD MUSIC

UK blackened-extreme metal warriors LYCHGATE, via YOU TUBE, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "THE CONTAGION IN NINE STEPS", unleashed  3/30/2018 via BLOOD MUSIC.








LYCHGATE released the bands sophomore effort “An Antidote for the Glass Pill”, unleashed 8/18/2015 via BLOOD MUSIC. 

FROM LYCHGATE:
https://blood-music.bandcamp.com/…/the-contagion-in-nine-st…


We bring forth today's announcement of the new album by Blood Music and reveal the cover art:
"Lychgate “The Contagion in Nine Steps” [2018]
The academic, apocalyptic black metal unit returns with their third and most mature work to date.

“The Contagion in Nine Steps” showcases Lychgate's scholarly exploration of crowd psychology from a philosophical and historical point-of-view.
Utilizing the band's trademark black metal / funeral doom crossover and adding in compositional elements reminiscent of the 20th century avant garde, there truly is no equal for Lychgate's sound. One of the hidden gems of the UK extreme metal scene, the band continues to push its arcane darkness forward, casting off a large amount of its opulent organwork in favor of eternally reverberating guitars and extra clean vocal lines, giving the perspective of a Satanic performance in a grand and opulent hall.
The album's general themes are inspired by swarm behaviour exhibited by the machines in Stanisław Lem’s book “The Invincible,” as well as through Plato’s, Hegel’s, Le Bon's, and Canetti's ideas on civilization, consciousness, and crowd psychology.
Featuring key members of The One, Esoteric, and Macabre Omen, “The Contagion in Nine Steps” is one of the most musically accomplished albums to recently come from the confines of the conservative black metal scene. Breaking every rule while managing to bridge the depths of Hell with glimpses of the effervescence of Heaven."
Release date: March 30th, 2018
1) Republic
2) Unity of Opposites
3) Atavistic Hypnosis
4) Hither Comes the Swarm
5) The Contagion
6) Remembrance
Label: Blood Music
