LISTEN: Woman In The Middle Of Homophobic Incident At Rogers Place Talks To Sonic. Jack White Responds.

Last week Jack White was in Edmonton for a big concert. However the night didnt go so well for a local woman. Allyson MacIvor was there with a female friend and during a song, leaned in for a kiss. At that moment an usher came down and told them that wasn’t allowed. Obviously Allyson was discouraged and made a post about the incident online. It picked up so much traction that Jack White caught wind of it and dedicated “Love Interruption” to her at the next concert.

Allyson has received a ton of support over this, from around the world. Rogers Place even owned up right away admitting it wasnt at all appropriate for the usher to do. She talked to sonic about the whole ordeal.

This photo is a lesbian couple sharing a kiss at a Beatles concert in 1964 while the rest of the crowd screamed for the band. This is one of my favorite photos because of how beautiful the situation is; they are hiding in plain sight. Its 2018 now and two people expressing affection shouldn’t have to hide. The news that two women were stopped from kissing during my show in Edmonton really disappointed me. At the next show in Calgary I dedicated the song “love interruption” to the two women and encouraged everyone in the crowd to kiss their loved ones. Let’s promote love and acceptance wherever and whenever we can. -Jack White III
