LGBTQ. FUN.

FUN. are part of something seriously cool; the band and fashion designer Rachel Antonoff have joined forces in the creation of TAC: The Ally Coalition. 


TAC works with members of the music, fashion and all around entertainment worlds to raise awareness and funds in support of LGBTQ (Lesibian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning Youth) equality.  Dani Shay has been a major supporter of the band and their non-profit and unveiled the music video for his newest single "One" on TAC yesterday.



 Rachel's brother and FUN. band member Jack Antonoff  has been a guest blogger for The Huffington Post where he has written in favor of gay rights and of the importance of straight allies. 

“TAC is a place where we as allies can make our statements and make them clear, together. We can use social media to make sure our friends and family hear our words, see our videos and read our posts. Together we can be bigger than hate, ignorance and homophobia and inspire others to look at things a different way.” - Jack Antonoff

FUN. is on tour now and will be playing at the beautiful Fox Theater in Oakland on February 7th, 2013 and  Dani Shay's One: The Winter EP will be available on December 18th but you can (and should) join TAC before then!
