Laura Jane Grace Reacts to Right-Wing Backlash to Her Song ‘Your God’: ‘I’m Not Being Profane to Be Profane’

Laura Jane Grace played her new song, “Your God (God’s Dick),” at a Bernie Sanders event in Wisconsin. The right was not happy.

All subtext and messaging was lost on right-wing figures like Robby Starbuck, though, a former music video director (Asking Alexandria, Smashing Pumpkins, Yellowcard) turned conservative activist. Grace says the song was well-received at the event, though, which was, essentially, a protest against the current state of America, which, under the Trump administration is apparently trying to erase trans people. “Part of the experience was I had to check in every once in a while and give progress reports,” she says, adding that she played a stringed instrument called the baglamas on the track, which is used in Greek protest music.
