Gay Couple Renews Vows at Edward Sharpe Performance in North Carolina: Watch
Musicians have protested North Carolina's HB2 bill—which stipulates that transgender citizens must use bathrooms according to the sex on their birth certificates—in various ways, but Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros recently managed to denounce the measure without so much as mentioning its name.
At a performance at the North Carolina Museum of Art on Saturday evening (May 28), Sharpe invited two personal friends—a gay couple—on stage to renew their marital vows, and the audience responded with rapturous applause. Watch video of the scene above, wherein frontman Alex Ebert leads Dan Matthews and Jack Ryan in the makeshift ceremony.
