Kickstarter: Accidental Bear Queer Music Benefit Tour

My buddy Mike Enders over at Accidental Bear is raising funds for a summer music tour featuring LGBTQ acts.

Money raised from the tour will go to help raise awareness about suicide in the LGBTQ community. But Mike puts it much better than I. Watch the video above and please consider donating.

From the Kickstarter page: Queer Music Benefit Summer Tour 2013 will be unlike anything happening right now and so important. Suicide rates among LGBTQ people are a much higher than straight folks. Let's together detach the stigma attached to Mental Health Issues and talk about it. This is our chance to make a difference! No more sitting on the side line and waiting for some else to do it. This is our time!

The importance of funding the Tour:

When this kickstarter is funded it will make it possible for the show to go on and we'll be able to make money to help out all of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters! All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to organizations listed below as well as sponsor donations. This is our chance to show how much we care!

Benefitting from the summer tour:

LA: Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center / Mental Health Services
SF: The Stonewall Project
Portland, OR: Q Center
