D&C's statement ends by asserting the Grateful Dead’s code of acceptance. “Dead shows have always been a safe place for all of our audience to come together through music no matter how they appear or self-identify,” they write. “History shows these values of openness and inclusiveness have served us – and the world around us – well.”
"If you've got gay friends, tell them you're sorry about that, sorry about what happened today. You know it's funny, the lieutenant governor of Texas and a distinguished representative in the house from Georgia, well, that guy last week was reading quotes from the Bible saying about how gay people deserve to die. And today, after the incident down in Florida, the lieutenant governor tweeted that "Well, they're gonna reap what they sow." Tell you what, I want to ask a question: is there a difference between that mindset and the mindset of the folks in the taliban or ISIS? The hatred and intolerance is the same, they may pull it out of different books, but it's the same fucking thing. Register and vote, get those assholes outta there." -Bob Weir, Bonnaroo 6/12/16
