Laura Jane Grace responds to backlash over “Your God (God’s Dick)” performance: “It’s such blatant hypocrisy”

Laura Jane Grace opened for Bernie Sanders on one of his recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour dates, performing her recent single “Your God (God’s Dick).” Conservatives collectively seemed to lose their minds in response, calling the song “pure evil” and accusing it of “attack(ing) Christianity” in posts on sites like Fox News. Laura initially responded on Bluesky, writing, “Some right wing news outlet caught wind of me performing Gods Dick at the Bernie rally and they are currently going ballistic in the comments on my insta. They say I’m a demon. Is this true? Is it a chromosome thing?” She’s now spoken further in response to the backlash to Rolling Stone. “I’m not being profane to be profane,” she told them. “I’m not just saying ‘dick’ to say ‘dick.’ I’m asking a genuine question. If you refer to your God as he and him, but you will not refer to a transgender person with the pronouns that are theirs… that’s just insane. It’s such blatant hypocrisy. You can’t prove God exists with biology or chromosomes. So if you’re gonna throw science continually in my face, let’s stick to that: Your god doesn’t exist.”

Laura told Rolling Stone that she ran the song by Bernie’s team before performing it, adding, “That song is the most relevant song I have right now to everything that’s going on. It’s a little profane, but out of all the songs I played, that was the one everyone connected with immediately. It’s a straight-up protest song. I don’t know what else that event was supposed to be other than a protest rally.”

“It gives that kind of good energy that I think for sure the fucking right wing is lacking because all their music is shit, and all they got is motherfuckers like Russell Brand up there — and he’s boring as fuck,” Laura continued to RS. Read their interview with her in full here.

“Your God (God’s Dick)” is credited to Laura’s project Laura Jane Grace In The Trauma Tropes, which is with Paris Campbell Grace (her wife), Jacopo Fokas, and Orestis Lagadinos. Hear it below.

Laura will be on tour starting in April, including shows with Murder by Death, Alex Lahey, and Rodeo Boys. See all dates below.
