Charity Single Released 100% Proceeds To LGBT Charities

After the shock of seeing LGBT ‘hunts’ in Russia and gay people being burnt alive in Uganda comes a big dose of LGBT love from the L Project.

After the shock of seeing LGBT ‘hunts’ in Russia and gay people being burnt alive in Uganda comes a big dose of LGBT love from the L Project, who released their second LGBT fund-raising single ‘We’re All Human’ on Sunday, May 4.

Described as ‘We Are The World’ but for LGBT, the song, and its accompanying YouTube video (which has seen nearly 11,000 views in 48 hours), is raising money for three LGBT charities:

•    Kaleidoscope Trust – and international LGBT charity
•    The Russian LGBT Network
•    Mermaids – a UK youth transgender charity

 Already shared and tweeted by the likes of Clare Balding, Martina Navratilova, Marc Almond, Billy Myers, Biff Naked, actress Angela Griffin and author Stella Duffy, the song immediately topped the Amazon Folk, Rock and Movers and Shakers lists, and has been bubbling up through the various Amazon and iTunes charts since.

That’s not bad for a group of 19 unsigned LGBT artists, but the ambition is to get it into the mainstream to help raise as much money as possible.

Georgey Payne, the songwriter and producer of We’re All Human, says, “Since the first song we’ve built up a massive network of support through social media. This time we hope that the mainstream media will pick up our story, so that even more people will download the song, and be part of changing the lives of LGBT people who need support. Some of that help will be financial, but we also have lots of stories about people all over the world being helped just by hearing the words and knowing there are people like us who care.”
