Their song, "Chain On Love" was originally written in response to California's Proposition 8, which they described as "a severely unjust law that directly discriminated against the LGBT community and, by doing so, infringed on the rights of all Americans."
Now Delta Rae wants to use it to rally support for the LGBT community in their home state.
