JAKARTA - Frontman Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong called moral panic over transgender issues a "very closed mind".
In a new interview with the LA Times, Armstrong remembers playing a new Green Day song, 'Bobby total' to a friend, who is his age.
"And he shed tears when he heard the second verse," Armstrong said of the song's lyrics, which explored gender fluidity.
The tag shows Armstrong singing: 'Do you want to be my best friend?' / You can drive me crazy all over again / And I'll bore you to death / Doesn't matter when we are in love / You're not just any type of girl / My one true love and you're my world / Do you care to be my girl? / Do you care to be my boyfriend?
"Currently, children are more common to LGBTQ, and there is more support. But for us, in the past," he continued, referring to the late 80s and early 90s, "it was like the beginning when people could openly say things like that," he continued.
When asked what Armstrong and his bandmates thought about the moral panic that is currently happening towards transgender youth, he said.
I just think they're thinking behind closed doors. It looks like people are afraid of their children. Why are you afraid? Why don't you let your child be what it is?
