Breaking news: L Project to release LGBT charity single We're All Human worldwide this May

As the UK's first wave of same-sex newlyweds settle happily into married life, The L Project gears up to repeat their success of 2012 with a second LGBT charity single, We're All Human, to be released this May. Recorded by a diverse group of LGBT artists, every penny earned from the song will be donated to LGBT charities who work to promote diversity and equality.

On hearing a rough cut of the new song, recorded during February LGBT history month at Dean Street Studios in London, one of The L Project's collaborators described it as "We Are The World, but for the gays!". The passion among the 19 artists - this time both male and female - can be heard in every beat and every note, with consensus among them that this is "even better than the last one".

The L Project's previous song It Does Get Better, released in 2012, made number 11 in the official UK indie charts, despite all the artists being unsigned.

The song also topped the iTunes and Amazon charts for over a week, and received coverage in leading international LGBT magazines and local BBC radio, all without any professional promotion. That song continues to raise funds, through download sales, YouTube views, related merchandise, and royalties, to help prevent LGBT bullying in schools.

Georgey Payne, the songwriter and producer of We're All Human, says, "Since the first song we've built up a massive network of support through social media. This time we hope that the mainstream media will pick up our story, so that even more people will download the song, and be part of changing the lives of LGBT people who need support. Some of that help will be financial, as we give every penny earned to the charities - including royalties - but we also have lots of stories about people all over the world being helped just by hearing the words and knowing there are people like us who care."

The UK might have progressed a lot since 1999, when the country had the a largest number of anti-gay laws in the world, but others aren't so fortunate, as highlighted during the SOCHI Winter Olympics. As the media outrage fades over Russia's attitude towards the LGBT community, The L Project steps in to help keep the flame alive.


"It's easy when you're part of a majority to take the view that because you don't experience an issue, there isn't a problem. But the evidence is undeniable. Media stories focus people's attention for a while, but when the stories stop, people become complacent, and inadvertently become complicit in allowing things to not only continue, but potentially worsen - not just in Russia, but in India, Uganda and around the world," says Sofia Antonia Milone, who runs the project alongside Georgey and who also collaborated on the lyrics of the new song. "Of course the LGBT community would prefer human rights to be based on the simplicity of being human, rather than having to be fought for and listed separately in law," Georgey adds. "That's what we wanted to get across with this song, and we want that message to reach far and wide."

The benefiting charities this time include the Russian LGBT Network which helps LGBT victims of abuse in Russia, and also Mermaids, the UK's youth Transgender charity.

The L Project plan to release an official video to coincide with the song's release, preceded by a series of behind-the-scenes videos on Youtube. These videos will show some of the less visible contributors to the project: videographers, photographers, hairstylists, and runners, all of whom worked tirelessly and - just like all the artists - for free.

The L Project will also be playing a sneak preview of We're All Human a short time before the official release. The preview will be made available via a secret link on Facebook and The L Project website, www.thel-project.com.
