Re: Macklemore's "Same Love" and the LGBT rights movement - September 6th 2013, 11:42 AM

I personally got irritated when I saw all of those posts on Tumblr about the fact that he's a white, cisgender male and therefore has "no right to sing this." You know what? If he didn't really support LGBT+ rights, he could have made money by singing about sex and drugs or something else, who knows. But, he took the time out of the day to make a song that millions of people will hear and think about. I'm in the LGBT+ community myself although I don't define my sexuality, and I think I'd rather hear a straight person supporting LGBT+ rights in their songs than bashing them or talking about drugs and getting shot. So, more power to Macklemore, at least he's supporting and not hating. Music can be a good way to spread a message.
