Neon Tress' frontman Tyler Glenn, who publicly came out as gay in 2014, just released the music video for his single "Trash," from his highly-anticipated, forthcoming debut solo album.
In the explosive video, Tyler takes a stand against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and (according to Rolling Stone), their antigay views on same-sex relationships.
"My entire life and perspective on God, the afterlife, morals and values, my self-worth, my born sexual orientation, all of it had been wired within the framework of this religion that doesn't have a place for me,” Tyler said in a statement. "They claim it’s the only truth, the Lord’s church, but there have been 40+ suicides within the church as a result of that — men, women and children. I needed to make this statement to artfully show the pain of a faith crisis and the darkness of doubt. But also that there are ways to reclaim what is yours — I’m beginning to reclaim what is mine now with this song, with this video and with this record."
