    Phrases like these are dropped on a daily basis, (friends included <--- ashamed)
    its so irritating to me, i could burst.

    "'Man, that's gay' gets dropped on the daily
    We become so numb to what we're saying
    A culture founded from oppression
    Yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
    Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board
    A word rooted in hate, yet our genre still ignores it"​

    I am obsessed with Macklemore. Same Love was the song that introduced me to him and he's from my area :slight_smile:

    I heard this song on Colbert too. I loved it! I'm considering buying their album to hear more of their music even though it's not really a genre of music I typically listen to.

    I adore that song! It gave me the guts to come out to my best friends. I figured it out on the piano, and bought Macklemore's albums. He is such an amazing rapper!
