All That Remains frontman Phil Labonte continues to be a lightning rod for controversy when it comes to expressing his personal beliefs. Last night he further explained his past usage of a homophobic slur with the following Facebook post:
“If you go back in my history on FB, you’ll find remarks about this. The word “faggot” isn’t offensive. The idea, no THE FACT, that two human beings, who love each other, who made a personal promise to each other, that they will always be there for each other, are prevented by government, when it is MOST important and has the most dramatic effect on their lives, and the END OF THEIR LIFE, is offensive. Social Justice Warriors need to get their shit together, worrying about what someone said, what word they used, while this shit is the NORM in some places, only degrades their credibility.”
The post linked to this story, titled ‘‘Redneck News’ Reporter Jeremy Addaway On Why He Supports Gay Marriage’. All That Remains will have their new album “The Order Of Things” released next week on February 24th. You can stream it in full now at this location.
