The girls, who have a new album out called "Heartthrob," def aren't new to showing support for the LGBTQ community. They've both posed for the NOH8 campaign, and Tegan spoke up about the campaign and marriage equality in general, saying, "Sara and I are huge fans of Adam Bouska and Jeff Parshley and what they have created with their incredibly moving, powerful and wide reaching NOH8 Campaign... Although we are Canadian, we have both vowed to remain unmarried in solidarity with the millions who don't have the same rights as us around the world. We hope that our voices (and in this case our photos) help raise awareness and assist in bringing equality to the masses." The girls have also spoken to MTV about their work inspiring the gay community, making their own "It Gets Better"-type project.
