Ke$ha Creates 'We R Who We R' Shirt To Support LGBT Rights, Individuality

Pop singer Ke$ha is taking her huge hit song "We R Who We R" to an even grander stage.

Ke$ha' teamed up with the Human Rights Campaign to create a customized T-shirt that includes the lyrics of "We R Who We R," which celebrates individuality. The unisex design features a black zebra, the HRC logo and the singer's signature.

HRC president Joe Solomonese said that he hopes the symbol of the zebra will encourage people to accept each other despite their differences.

"Much like a zebra doesn't change its stripes, we hope people of all walks of life, LGBT and straight allies, celebrate themselves and their unique contribution to the fight for equality," he said in a said in a statement on the website.

With only 1,000 produced, the shirts are limited, but they can be purchased online for $35 and in select HRC stores in San Francisco, Washington D.C. and Provincetown, Mass.

The Kesha T-shirt is part of the HRC's Musicians for Equality campaign, which celebrates musical artists' contributions to the fight for LGBT equality.

Hmmm . . . 1,000 identical shirts, all proclaiming the wearers' individuality.

Riiiiight.

Zebras would not be my choice to celebrate individuality. Their entire existence is based on blending in with their herd to avoid predators...Unless this is supposed to provoke deeper thought along the lines of all these zebra-clad folks sticking together to confuse predators? It seems more likely Ke$ha just thinks animal print is $exy. Ah, well, thanks for being an ally, Ke$ha. Not sure how much you'll do to improve the image of the HRC, but maybe some teenagers will be inspired.

It's a good thing, yes, definitely a cause to get behind. But does the English language have to take another hit in the process? How hard is it to type out 'are' instead of 'R'...and no, I'm really not trying to be all superior, it just comes across as lazy. I love Prince, but he started this whole thing decades ago...

Umm, it's Ke$ha.

You are diluting the brand by not stylizing the "s".

I'd $ay the Ke$-"HAH!" brand is already diluted...

I like Kesha alright, but why is making a t-shirt a good thing?

Ke$ha and all the young dancefloor-oriented allies and sweethearts in pop music like Katy Perry, P!nk, Lady GaGa, Kelly Clarkson and top 40 genius composer-producer "Dr. Luke" Gottwald made songs and T-shirts to protect and encourage the growing young, who buy millions of these songs, and flee the church and the TrEAsonbaggers because they aren't insecure enough to waste their day experiencing hatred of a racist and homophobic nature. As the wise Patti LaBelle says, "Blowing out someone else's candle doesn't make yours shine any brighter."These kids know intuitively that doing yourself and being your original, highest self, leaves no need in life to act out with racism and homophobia like the hypocrites, felons, addicts and paper-thin no-hopers of the Bleck-OxyRush-Palin-Bachmann-Coulter self-destructive radical right.
