#pridemonth again... And for all those proud allies, proud friends, proud parents, proud siblings, proud lovers, we still have the #gloriouslovechristopherstreetedition merch available in the online store... And still, with every sale, we donate to The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organisation for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people. Share the love, share the lives... Thank you! >>>store>>>

Due to popular demand–let me tell you: 5000+ Bandcamp users cannot be wrong; in other words; don’t trust the commercial demographics–now also available on the commercials–which was never the point of this CELEBRATORY 23 campaign. Originally remixed–as if that’s a thing–for Rakuten for their Japan fashion week shows… However, they preferred for their shows–which is relatable–the other remix version of the song. Now, refreshed in the ‘23 master–which is the base for this celebratory revisits–the song is now available everywhere… on every device… everywhere where there’s wifi available, when a download option is not anywhere around… Cheers… >>>reference landing page (where to stream or buy)

Returning to Glorious Love (in the '23 P.I.P.L. Mix). "Initially this song was about a suicide... There was this person who kind of fled from this "I cannot be this gay person that I am in this society so I'm going to another society so I can be gay and happy and free"... And once he arrived in this new society, he found out that thát kind of freedom⎯to be whatever you want to be⎯did not exist in this world. So in the end he committed suicide, because he couldn't deal with it...  That was the initial story... Later on it was the theme song for a fashion show during Covid or whatever you want to call it... And... I'm... now... I see... this... you know... we have...  We have a lot of things going on politically... One side you have, like, the conspiracy theorists. They believe the Earth is flat, they believe that the Elite is eating babies... Or at least sucking up blood from minors... And they believe that the whole Covid situation was choreographed... In...

Christopher Street Day (CSD) is an annual European LGBTQ+ celebration and demonstration held in various cities across Europe for the rights of LGBTQ+ people, and against discrimination and exclusion. The CSD is held in memory of the Stonewall Riots, the first big uprising of LGBT people against police assaults that took place at the Stonewall Inn, a bar on Manhattan, New York City's Christopher Street in the district of Greenwich Village on June 28, 1969. On Saturday, June 27, 1970, marches to mark the first anniversary of Stonewall were held in Chicago and San Francisco, followed on Sunday, June 28, 1970, by the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade in New York and the Christopher Street West Association Parade in Los Angeles; the four gatherings were the first Pride parades in United States history. To accommodate the interests of the many different groups participating, the Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee named the days leading up to the march Gay Pride Week. On t...

#JK dedicated most of his professional life to understanding, human rights, and equal rights for every human being on the planet. Shocked on a daily basis, about the way human beings treat each other, he decided to donate the profits of the early bird single THE CAUSE OF ALL MY SCARS to GLAAD, the organization that is working very, very hard to bring an end to bullying and ease the effects to all the victims. <a href="http://jeankoning.bandcamp.com/album/the-cause-of-all-my-scars-glaad-version">The Cause Of All My Scars (GLAAD version) by Jean Koning</a> Very unexpectedly, the very dead band !JP released a collec...

Starting January 5th, the single TWISTED (every colour of our rainbow) will be available for download. And for the very first time in his career, JEAN KONING is willing to donate 80% of every sale to the ALL OUT ORGANISATION - an organisation working very hard for raising awareness and basic human rights in the LGBT community.  The song itself is a sarcastic comment on the event on which one of JK’s (gay) friends was beaten into the hospital, simply because he openly loved someone. In the song JK creates a 1984-like world in which basic human rights and the ability to love, are completely degraded. What he basically sketches in TWISTED is that a man who loves (no ifs, no buts) is an outcast, a pariah.  ALL OUT is fighting very hard to make sure, this sketch will never be realised. To make sure that man, woman, child - no matter the sexual orientation, no matter the religion and no matter where on earth - should be able to LOVE whoever they LOVE.  So, PLEASE, send o...

Due to massive airplay on MVS radio,  Begbie Doesn't Live Here by !JP is issued as official single. It is the acoustic guitar version appearing on SAEN, opposed to the official version appearing on Notes From Purgatory. The song is said to deal with the subject of tolerance. It is considered to be a LGBT anthem.
