On this episode, Barrie Ontario musician Earl Wyvern discusses their history and involvement in the DIY Arts Collective, which progressed to a deep involvement in music, promoting shows through Gay Ass Productions and slamming eardrums on recording and stages for the past ten years. They are currently playing with Angry Spells and digging deeper into what they refer to as their “horrendous progressive politics” with Earl Wyvern and Spare Parts.
Essentially, their horrendous politics, which they describe as “queer” and “militant,” are just a wish for people to be treated fairly and not single out specific segments of society with excuses not to be kind to them. Wyvern describes this as “what-aboutism” and that when people set out to do good for people, they don’t discriminate about who deserves help in times of need.
The conversation touches on the anti-trans protests and the counter-protests of support for trans youth and the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, with Wyvern encouraging people to “protect trans people with your fucking lives. Please tell them that you love them every day because you never know what people are going through in their own lives, so don’t wait till something bad happens. Just tell people you love them.”
