yes less ignorant posts would make threads shorter
you say that like its a bad thing
Or, having one poster explain who someone is would help a bunch of other people?
That's fair. Having said that, AEG owns a lot more than Coachella. I wonder if she boycotts all of the arenas/venues/sports teams they own and/or are partnered with. I hope she does. It seems a little weird to single out this one festival when there were probably concerts going on at T-Mobil Arena, Staples Center, The O2 in London and a lot of their various venues over the past weekend. I don't think I've ever been to one, but I swear I had a ticket with AEG on it once. I can't remember what for though. I'm with her though, don't support anything that douchebag owns. TBF...I don't know if watching the free livestreams on YouTube is supporting anyone, so I still enjoyed that St. Vincent show.
He also owns steaks in the Lakers and Kings. Plus Walden media.
Edit: Beaten.
This is a good thing, it's opening up the issue to a lot more people. Yeah I'm sure it's hypocritical in some aspects, but EVERYONE is a hypocrite in one way or another when it comes to stuff like this, it's just impossible not to be in this day and age unless you are a literal hermit.
For example, I won't eat at Chik-Fil-A, but I'll still buy chicken that I'm sure came from those horrid megafarms.
She's a model turned actress. The reason you didn't see her in anything before is because she blew up fairly recently.

According to Snopes, what is stated in OP hasn't been true for three years.

Lotsa people telling the first poster to go Google Delevingne, but no one seems to be bothering to google the claim that is presented.
He also donated $1 million to Elton John's AIDS foundation last month, which would have been well before Delevingne's claim, so you can't say that was done "in response."

I'm willing to accept if he's actually making an effort to change what he and his foundation donated to. But recent articles in January do go into detail about causes that are pretty awful, mostly Conservative/Right funding of politicians which include anti abortion and ant LGBT stances. If all of those recent articles are "fake news" then I don't know what to say, but when I hear someone yell out a Trump talking point I find that a red flag immediately.
Yeah the amount of all-or-nothing thinking when it comes to supporting/boycotting things nowadays is a bit confounding. What's important is that this guy's bullshit is being called out and people are actually doing something about it instead of debating what's most hypothetically righteous.
Yeah I think the most important thing is that there's knowledge and transparency on things, an informed consumer, who can make their minds up on their own and where they wish to spend their money (and, in turn, support people or companies). Nothing should be "all or nothing" because that's just impossible. But awareness is crucial.
Finding out that the co-owner of Coachella is a homophobic bigot, makes Kevin Abstract singing: "Heath Ledger with some dreads i just gave my nigga head" on stage even more awesome
again, literally easier than taking the time to post "who" on a forum.
mobile browsers do this as well
A "third party" lol
I applaud her for her decision. She does what a lot of people say but don't do. Like giving up Chick-fil-A which admittedly I'm unable to do :/
He also owns my favorite hockey team (LA Kings) which as a gay man kinda hurts but I'm not going to let it affect my enjoyment of life and my passions.
I just learned this a couple months ago. I'm usually pretty cynical, but I found that DJ to be sort of infectiously positive, so I had to know who it was. I was pretty surprised.
Huh, I had no idea Coachella was owned by some big business tycoon. Weird.
She's from a very rich family, which gave her (and her sister) an easy entrance into the world of modeling and acting. She's ike a slightly more talented Paris Hilton. That said, she does very good stuff for LGBT visibility.
Careful talking about boycotts, you might drive some allies who don't like being told what to do away.
And it shouldn't. It's not an all or nothing thing. I mean how many horrible people own teams? That's something you just can't have control over unless he did something flat-out illegal or super awful and the outcry would demand it. The best thing that ever happened to the Clippers was getting rid of Sterling.
She's (was?) a victoria's secret model a few times i think, just another piece of info.
And i agree with her. Sad that Beysus didn't ponder this stuff when she decided to perform there... i guess money.
If rich parents could bought you the carrer Cara has had millions of girl around the world (and Paris Hilton) would have it....but they don't.
For those uncertain about Cara, just enjoy her eating spicy hot wings. She's pretty cool.
I only kind-of knew who she was before, but her doing this made me just love her.

Google exists. They could have found that answer for themselves by googling her name. Would have taken less time than making their post lol.
What if the person you rely on is lying? How would you know? This is how fake news spreads.
Seems like an excuse. IE: lets not blame cops for the way the entire police force in this country acts.
I love the hypocrisy going around those claiming religious & moral superiority. Give money against the gheys but book a festival that has a sizable lgbtq representation for dem dollars. anti-immigration billionaires that have business segments that use migrant worker labor, people who rage against #blm but own minority filled sports teams, etc.
Lol. Equating police brutality to modeling influence? Cara isn't there pushing skinny jeans on kids, but cops sure as hell love pushing bullets on minorities.
So you think her job means she isn't responsible for what the industry does in regards to body image for girls? She may be good on LGBT rights but to call someone out on something while being guilty of perpetuating something so toxic like modeling industry is really disgusting, in my opinion.
I wish there was a way to prevent this kind of derail...
Lol this
