Events
Stage Gay
- See also: Stage Gay
ProRev's stage gay includes Frank Iero licking Gerard Way on 8/11,[1] standing over Gerard while playing guitar on 8/10,[2] and possibly multiple kisses,[3] which is difficult to distinguish due to video quality. Frank also chewed on a condom while performing.[4]
Marriage
Gerard and Lyn-Z Way married backstage on September 3, 2007, the final day of Projekt Revolution.
Fight
On August 22, 2007,[5] Frank and Gerard had a physical fight on stage.[6][7]
Miscellaneous
The majority of photos of Gerard with writing in sharpie on various parts of their body are from Projekt Revolution, including messages theorized to match with writing on Lyn-Z the same days.[8]
Mikey Way was unable to attend the tour due to issues in his personal life.
At the performance in Virginia Beach, fans were able to send in texts that were then displayed on a screen at the venue.[9] These included the message, "Gerard way is extremley HOT!!! Mcr rocks my socks!!" which was posted on Tumblr and is relatively known in the fandom.[10]
Gerard Way's sheriff jacket was worn often on the tour.[11]
Fandom and Fan Reaction
Fans believed Frank to be acting particularly erratic during the tour, with the fight being notable but not the only energetic video found online. Fans have theorized that this was due to Frerard's tinhat ship[12] and it has been rumored that the fight happened because Frank learned of Gerard's upcoming marriage.[13]
Gerard was believed to have broken up with his ex-fiance in May 2007, as estimated by fans, who found the marriage sudden.
