That’s Not Love
It’s 1979, The Pretenders have just released Brass in Pocket and I'm totally in love with Chrissie Hynde.
That same Summer, a love interest with a Chrissie look-alike ended in eventual betrayal.
Recently The Pretenders popped up on a playlist and it took me straight back. I reflected, is it possible to have one relationship for sex and another for love? And that’s how That's Not Love came about.
This track is free to download, but if you fancy supporting us you can buy us a beer – cheers!
We believe that every human deserves love and respect. No one should ever suffer abuse from a partner, family member or stranger. Any single incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour or violence is abusive. Abuse can be psychological, physical, sexual, financial, emotional or a combination of all or any of them.
The Cides will donate the first £1,000 of receipts from That’s Not Love to support LGBT Charity UK, a non-profit charity organisation. Thereafter LGBT Charity UK will receive 50% of all further income.
Intimate Personal Violence – That’s Not Love!
Almost weeks of daily global coverage of Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard coincided with our recently released track ‘That’s not love.’ Heard had accused Depp of sexual and physical abuse, however, Johnny Depp claimed that it was Amber Heard who had been the abuser in their relationship.
LGBT CHARITY UK
LGBT Charity understands that a lot of people's human rights are trampled upon on a daily basis and therefore makes it a point of duty to launch campaigns to raise funds to assist these people.
As a community LGBT people face higher rates of poverty, stigma and marginalisation, which puts them at greater risk of sexual assault. They also face higher rates of hate-motivated violence, which often takes the form of sexual assault. Moreover, the ways in which society both hyper sexualises LGBT people and stigmatises their relationships can lead to intimate partner violence that stems from internalised homophobia and shame. As a result, these challenges and dangers to their physical and mental well-being, substance use and addiction are significant problems in the LGBT community.
