He does it in a so much better way than lady gaga ! I am heterosexual and
strongly support human rights ! But I didn’t like it when eminem announced
gaga as a winner for an award ( I forgot what kind of award ) and she said
: this award is for all the lesbians ! If I win an award I don’t say : this
award is for all the heteros !
This song, the marriage event at the Grammy’s, and so many other things
reminded me of this verse. I can already see others tossing out Old
Testament verses to try and counter…lol.
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will
be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love,
unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the
good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers
of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to
do with such people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

Thank you, Macklemore, for standing up for the human rights of fellow human
beings. You’ll always have me for a fan.
I’m glad Macklemore is standing up for what he believes, but his song
twists what the Bible really says with how people claiming to be Christians
act. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin, but it also says to love one
another. We can love each other and still disagree. Homosexuality is sin,
and the true followers of the Bible and Christ will tell you that, but they
aren’t going to say it in hateful way. I agree that a lot of hate has been
spread because of this topic and that’s not right, that’s not Biblical and
that’s not Christian. What is Biblical and Christian is being honest about
what God blatantly says is a sin (and that doesn’t JUST go for
homosexuality, it goes for every sin) and explain that there is a way out
if you accept it. I understand that people argue “equal rights” but the
flipside is that true Christians (it’s sad that I have to add “true”
whenever I talk about Christians, but I do) cannot support homosexuality
because it would be condoning something God says is sin. As a Christian,
my allegiance is to God before man and if God says something is wrong, then
I can’t support it in any way, shape, or form. You see, it’s not about
hate (it shouldn’t be…hate in itself is a sin according to Christ), it’s
about standing up for what we believe is right just like gays and lesbians
stand up for what they think is right. There doesn’t need to be hate, but
there does need to be honesty.
This man should not be trying to justify homosexuality. If he makes people
feel that it’s alright to be gay, then they won’t repent of their sins and
he will have innocent blood on his hands and he’ll be judged accordingly.
He’s so inspirational
my dad is a homophobic and listening to this song helped me in more ways
than one. I accepted myself with the help of this song, I believed in who I
am, but more importantly I came out to my homophobic dad. At first he
didn’t like it, he tried making me call myself “curious”, said it was just
a phase…yeah because phases last all of your life for as long as you can
remember. After a long heated argument he’s finally realised im still
his little girl no matter who I fall in love with. So thanks macklemore, I
owe you one!
shit people in utah have been arrested for plural marriage and
bigamy….where are their rights??
Any thing that is because of the song makes me cry every time
what I don’t understand is why the LGBT community ‘hate’ him so much for
this song/hate the song so much?
I knew it. He was just trying to make a quick buck off gay people
YOU NOW WHAT enough people are getting bullied LEGALISE GAY MARRIAGE!! Macklemore
Discusses ‘Same Love’
That is my most fav song!!!!
hahaha what a fucking homo
Macklemore is amazing…. he helped me accept who I am. He helped me
realize that I am a good person no matter what and that other peoples
opinions on how i am don’t really matter. Thank you Macklemore <3
Thank you macklemore…for standing for those who cant speak…i live in a
family where homos lebs bis arent accepted…but that the old genaration
the new generation says its okay. And im christin but I just dont agree
with some of the stuff thay say that “that homos are lost people” or “that
there just faggots” and I agree with ya man…like you and my friend/sister
Anon told me…”god still loves you.” So thanks for speaking for me and for
others this is Tobias A. Gabrile saying thanks homie
What a homo dislike
Macklemore is CLEARLY homosexual himself, so his campaign has everything to
do with himself.
Many people are discussing each other’s opinions in the comments in some
ways which angers others and the best thing to do is to ignore it because
we all have differences in the thought of homosexuality. However to call
Macklemore a homosexual is highly disrespectful just because of his opinion
and why he wrote the song. So please, discuss in a more orderly fashion
than to call each other vulgar names.
its so crazy to me how Gay marriage isn’t yet Legalized in all 50 states
this is Todays Fight a Movement to Fight For Equal Rights NOW!!!!!!!!!
I love that song..I actually came out and told my friends about who I
really was. I just want to thank him so much for this.
I love this song so much!!
I can’t believe this guy made a song that makes fun of me but incourages
gay. pretty messed up right? Why hate god he says it’s wrong he’s probably
right.
Wauw
I dont get the people who say ohh fag and I hate malkemore well then stop
watching his videos idk why your even watching this one. gays should be
treated with respect same as we give respect to youl so why does it matter
if their gay or lesbian we should all be treated the same way. they didn’t
do anything to you so why do you do something to them and your probably
gonna say they are fags or bastards if you think that then you dont know
what those words mean same love is a awesome song and Macklemore is cool to
keep it up
Fuck this faggit …
He is so well spoken.
Shut the hell up Elliott chan this is very touching in many way u are a d
bag people kill them selfs. Because of the word gay emo and more stop and
shut the hell up
macklemore`s words so right… everybody have to support equal right..
com`on people.. open your eyes.. get a life.. LOVE IS LOVE NO MATTER
WHAT..!!
