The song I'm
going to talk about today is a song that has touched the hearts of many and
changed even more lives. This of course is the one and only song "Same
Love" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Cleverly based off the title, this
song talks about gay relationships and how the love between these couples are
just the same as the love between a straight couple.
I want to start
this off by saying that I am a partial Christian. Yes, I support gay
marriage/relationships because in the bible it says to "stone the people
that are homosexuals and a lot of religious cranks out there take that to
heart. But it also says to beat and even stone your children for disobeying and
disrespecting their parents. You don't them out there rioting about that do you.
There are a lot of religious extremists out there who ruin the whole religious
image for everyone. People who aren't religious tend to think we are all just
wacko crazy. That's also something that needs to change.
Really, all problems, whether it be in regards to sex preference, religion, gun rights, race, etc... People just need to be understanding. I'm not going to tell a woman that she can't love another women, that her love isn't real, because I would never want someone to tell ME (a male) that my love for my girlfriend (a female) isn't genuine or correct. I would never tell someone to not own a gun, because I wouldn't want someone to tell me that I can't own a knife. I refuse to tell someone that they can't celebrate Kwanza or Hanuka, because I don't want someone to tell me that I can't celebrate Christmas.
It's really not anyone else's business what other people do. What right does anyone have to judge someone else? Maybe if more people judged themselves, and kept their noses out of other people's lives, we wouldn't have so many problems like this song describes.
When it says "A world so hateful, some would rather die than be who we are", that applies to a lot of situations. There have been so many people that have committed suicide because "society" didn't approve of them is some way. That is just outright sad and ridiculous. YOU society should be the ones that should be ashamed of yourselves, not these people.

I hope that
one day, songs like this won't be needed.
