I was at the Saturday show (& recorded all of it) and didn't know that happened, they must have kept it low key. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Great vids, as usual!
@BREEPxoo not sure how she meant it, but i was thinking of the distinction being that california was the first state where the legislature proactively passed a law allowing it, instead of a court ordering it? so technically the first place where the "representatives of the people" made it happen?
@BREEPxoo, same here! I was just like, "Helloooo? What about us over here on the east cost in Massachusetts? We were the first in the country!" Whatever, though. Hey, we still get to be proud that WE started this whole thing over a decade ago!
Can we just talk about how Sara gets SO into this song every time I see her play it? I think this is such an underrated song of hers, and I really love her passion cuz I feel like I don't see that much passion in her with too many songs. But she always rocks this song out.
DITTO. for real. i remember having a conversation with a group of canadian teenagers at the back in your head video shoot, and they didn't KNOW that gay people couldn't get married in the U.S., and thought it was totally ridiculous when i told them we couldn't. oh, to grow up in a world where it's all just so NORMAL!
thank-you. that was sweet.. :) and no1 has ever said that to me before really :( and I'm not worried about my mother but my father is like ridiculous and would NEVER come around.. my mum tells me that he is the biggest homophobe in the world..(such a lovely thing to be...) :(:( thnx for ur encourgment! :) :D
i know. :( but, the CA supreme court HAS agreed to hear the case... they were the ones who ruled in our favor the first time... so there is a little bit of hope...
Three years later, its amazing Prop 8 passed, and a relief that ultimately justice prevailed when it was over-turned. Tegan was completely right...in the future California will be remembered for taking this long overdue step. Canada has had same-sex marriage since 2005!!! They were the 3rd in the world to legalize it after the Netherlands and Belgium. Gays have been allowed to serve in their military since 1992!!! Its time the "Land of the Free" gave equal freedom to all its citizens.
Dude, that's just ridiculous. They talked about Prop 8 at every show they did, and had a booth for the anti Prop 8 people at their shows. Tegan went to every Prop 8 march in L.A. after the election. They posted to their website, Facebook, Myspace, and email list about voting on the amendment several times before the election, and about every protest that happened after. Tegan worked Rock the Vote the day of the election calling voters.
i'm sorry? i don't quite follow. are you suggesting that tegan and sara made up someone yelling homophobic comments at them? for what purpose?? not to mention that they seemed genuinely upset about the whole thing. who would make that up? as for asking them to debate on their myspace, they don't respond to ANYONE who messages them... they simply get too many messages. trust me, i'm sure either one of them would be more than willing to debate the marriage topic... and would probably win.
well... there was a proposed amendment to the california constitution that was voted on in november and passed, which changed the definition of "marriage" in the CA constitution to be a union between a man and a woman. however, the california supreme court just heard arguments about whether the amendment can stand... so at the moment, no, gay people can't get married in CA. there were many many who did, and those are still valid. and in the future... we'll see. there's a chance though.
LOL... plus, if you've ever seen them fight each other, I'm sure you KNOW they have no problem debating someone with an opposing view... and I'm quite sure either of them would be ready to take on anybody about Prop 8, ESPECIALLY Tegan, given how strongly they both feel about it. Anyway... it's rare these days that anyone gets to talk to them at ALL, let alone take up enough of their time to have a full out debate. I think your friend was asking for a bit much, and shouldn't be surprised.
I am straight, but I agree with TnS: It is so digsusting that there is so much racism and cruelty and hate in our world, and I definitely protest against prop 8 because that's just not fair. I have several disabilities and that's like telling me I can't get married because of them. So unfair. Um...but the performance was amazing :) Sara was very passionate.
If you like the video's of wojo4hitz soo much too and want to thank her for all these veryyy veryy nice filming! Go to facebook and add the page 'I love Wojo4hitz'!!! Thank youuu
Sure, they COULD have made it up, but there would be no reason for them to do that, they're in front of a crowd who already support them and their views... and that's serious stuff, T&S wouldn't exactly be the type to make that up. And really, I've never had one of my comments posted either. Like I said, they just get too many. As for the blocking, well, rather than avoiding debate, they're probably just avoiding drama. Arguing with people online rarely gets you anywhere...
they are just soo amazing! love it how they actually listen to what the audience says! :) ...and can i add.. homophobic people are so small minding (prefect example, my father) haha looking foward to coming out to him..... :( :D:D hahah
maybe they were one of those oblivious people who didn't know they were lesbians until they started talking about it. weird how those people still exist.
I'm thinking that's far more than most other people did to oppose the amendment. Not to mention the fact that they're not even American and CAN marry in their own country, but are doing all this anyway. Not active? If that's your opinion, then your opinion certainly isn't a very informed one.
Right...my bad Still, from what I've heard, in Sara's case that's just not true. But you were talking about Tegan right? Um, like I said you might be right but ONLY because she tries to avoid drama. But she has talked about a couple "debates" she's had in the past with people after a show, I don't think its something anyone wants to deal with at a show, and I don't think its smart, you can't really go there, EVERYONE will start trying to do that. It could get outta hand, fast!
1. Why exactly were they supposed to be debating anyone on this issue in the first place? 2. What on earth does your friend's video have to do with Proposition 8? 3. So first they "aren't that active" and now they're "radical"? Make up your mind. 4. Was there anyone watching the debates who DIDN'T wish Obama would punch McCain in the face? I know I did. 5. Why are you even on this page? Because you must not be a Tegan and Sara fan if this is what you really think of them.
didn't california like cancel that law or something? like gay marrage isn't allowed their anymore? if that's wrong haha then sorry i'm pretty confused on this whole thing.
hahahaha... like you couldn't tell from my channel that i'm all over the place?! and yeah, i have video from that show of the stupid guy yelling... brilliant...
"she seems the type" o ok, so you don't actually know about Tegan & Sara? I can tell cause if you did you'd know that they have no problem speaking their mind. Now as far as debating other people Tegan might be reluctant to do so just to avoid drama however Sara, the person actually talking in this video has NO problem debating/arguing anyone about ANYTHING!! Now a debate about sexuality and things of that nature are too much for a show cause it would fuck everything up so I'm glad she didnt
destroy these fools by educating them!!!!!! what's better than putting down a wounded animal is to take the time to heal it.......... love you eternally T&S, always will
don't understand how a giant homophobe would be able to attend a TnS concert (and have the nerve to call them names)...unless he was there to boycott it.
I thought this was a convo about them (not) making up the story about the man calling them "bitches", now this is turning into a mini-debate... tablecow, you REALLY need to know them a little better before jumping to conclusions ya kno, like what you were saying about them not being active for the anti-prop 8 stuff and not being busy- very misinformed (not informed)!! VERY...All I'm saying is research a little before posting certain things...Wojo cleared that up though, well done my friend:-)
I really hate when stupid foreigners come to my country and make dumb ass generalizations.I can see that T&S are just as stupid as the morons who voted for BO. I really despise made up words like homophobe.If you want to sling mud&call me names at least be accurate.Homophobe implies that I'm afraid of homosexuals.I'm not afraid of them.I'm sick of them lobbying to CPS to remove children from good homes so they can create artificial families and all their other BS that has no bearing on rights.
I was at the Saturday show (& recorded all of it) and didn't know that happened, they must have kept it low key.
Anyway, thanks for sharing! Great vids, as usual!
you uploaded this beautiful video on the day i turned 18. that makes me happy.
@BREEPxoo not sure how she meant it, but i was thinking of the distinction being that california was the first state where the legislature proactively passed a law allowing it, instead of a court ordering it? so technically the first place where the "representatives of the people" made it happen?
very nicely put... thank you.
:O Sara and Tegan are freaking BEAUTIFUL in this video!
Thaaaaaaaankkkkkkkyouuu Wojo!
This is amazing!! So inspiring :)
@BREEPxoo, same here! I was just like, "Helloooo? What about us over here on the east cost in Massachusetts? We were the first in the country!" Whatever, though. Hey, we still get to be proud that WE started this whole thing over a decade ago!

Skyler Love I'm with you! I love it.
DITTO. for real. i remember having a conversation with a group of canadian teenagers at the back in your head video shoot, and they didn't KNOW that gay people couldn't get married in the U.S., and thought it was totally ridiculous when i told them we couldn't. oh, to grow up in a world where it's all just so NORMAL!
@wojo4hitz how much would it cost for you to send a DVD copy of a show to LA/ San Fernando Valley?
They are so smart. They have beauty and brains and talent. Triple threat right there...by two !
Um... wow. I don't know if it's just this performance or the song in general, but this is my favorite from them. Wish it were longer!
If someone was calling them names at a show he should have been shown the door...
love them love them love them
@CloudMeetsSky Thank you! ♥
what did you use to record this?
its really good quality!!
yeah? where was he standing??
Aaa tegans voice i love it
@juliesheckacool welcome :)
thank-you. that was sweet.. :) and no1 has ever said that to me before really :(

@il0v3TeganandSARA "Burn Your Life Down" Sara wrote it for her grandfather after his wife passed away.
it will be. those people are on the losing side of history.
That was my letter and it was interesting =]
Tell you what if your friend is so confused on the issues I'LL debate him...
yep, ditto... i don't remember hearing that at all. well i clearly would have remembered it. so no, i didn't hear it either!
i love how outspoken they've gotten on it...
LOL... plus, if you've ever seen them fight each other, I'm sure you KNOW they have no problem debating someone with an opposing view... and I'm quite sure either of them would be ready to take on anybody about Prop 8, ESPECIALLY Tegan, given how strongly they both feel about it.

This song is called Burn Your Life Down :)
I was standing right in the middle :)

also,
i love how tegan seems baffled at the idea that people aren't okay with homesexuality..
i LOVE this video/the fact that they said this!
you're welcome! :)
@wearedirt awww you're welcome! :)
Right...my bad

@CloudMeetsSky You are my new best friend now ^_^
@JaniceKai It said vote no to prop 8 lol thats what the whole video was about
no joke. kind of like the jerk at the sewell show last november who was yelling at sara to shut up and play a song or write a fucking book.
@socalkevinz lol no... all straight.
does anyone have a video of that douche?
hear what?
destroy these fools by educating them!!!!!! what's better than putting down a wounded animal is to take the time to heal it.......... love you eternally T&S, always will
T+S for presidents. X]
they're not even american... and they spoke out about more than most well known americans...
Ham I'm French, I not understand their "saids"...
is the backing band gay as well?
nope, me neither.
Who was the guy? I didn't hear him. Bastard!
don't understand how a giant homophobe would be able to attend a TnS concert (and have the nerve to call them names)...unless he was there to boycott it.
"aboat"
Sara used the word 'rad'. Yay.
@BREEPxoo why offended?
oh lord i know my mom is a major homophobic...if i tell her she will disown me..but oh well!:D
mia amorette So how'd it turn out???
if you are a giant homophobe... try going to a different show.. you have a choice :)
I thought this was a convo about them (not) making up the story about the man calling them "bitches", now this is turning into a mini-debate...
tablecow, you REALLY need to know them a little better before jumping to conclusions ya kno, like what you were saying about them not being active for the anti-prop 8 stuff and not being busy- very misinformed (not informed)!! VERY...All I'm saying is research a little before posting certain things...Wojo cleared that up though, well done my friend:-)
so you have to be openly gay to speak up for chivil rights?
I really hate when stupid foreigners come to my country and make dumb ass generalizations.I can see that T&S are just as stupid as the morons who voted for BO. I really despise made up words like homophobe.If you want to sling mud&call me names at least be accurate.Homophobe implies that I'm afraid of homosexuals.I'm not afraid of them.I'm sick of them lobbying to CPS to remove children from good homes so they can create artificial families and all their other BS that has no bearing on rights.
probably a little late... but... you are an idiot and you are what is wrong with the world today....
