Earlier today, the xx took to their Facebook to speak out about the Croatian political organization U ime obitelji using their song "Intro" in an advertisement that discourages same-sex marriage.

The statement makes it perfectly clear that they aren't happy about the organization's use of the song, stating that the band "unconditionally supports the equal right to marriage regardless of sexuality." Read the full statement below.

It has come to our attention that our music has been used without our permission in a promotional advert by the Croatian organisation "U ime obitelji". We wish to state that we didn't, and would never, approve the use of our music by this organisation. To be clear, we unconditionally support the equal right to marriage regardless of sexuality.
