    This was a thing? I guess I never listened to them enough to notice.

    Smile, It's the End of the World had so many bops.

    Younger me didn't think anything of the Letters to the President lyrics, but obviously the line is gross when paired up with the rest of the verse.

    Check out the lyrics to “Letters to the President.” I believe that’s what it’s called

    Are you referring to the line "same sex marriage in a state where they don't care?" If so they are just saying they don't agree with it, they don't really have to say sorry for their beliefs because you don't think they are right...

    Not agreeing with same-sex marriage is hateful and unacceptable, I don’t care what religion you are. The lyric warrants an apology.

    Uhhhhh... they're not really just stating a well intentioned opinion here, they are putting it in a long list of some of the worlds actual worst shit, like murder and date rape. I don't think this is a good spot for a freedom of speech stance.

    Yeahhhh, when you couple it with the rest of the words, it’s a little hard to defend as “just a different belief”.

    I tweeted out “I wonder if Aid & Effect are still against gay marriage.”

    They responded with “Negative...jist like your tweet;)”

    To be honest, they spelled “just” correctly in their reply.
