The song is produced by Ryan Lewis, and features Mary Lambert, and is off of the new album \u2013 The Heist.<\/p>\n
Macklemore<\/strong>, artist from Seattle, really comes through as a support to same-sex marriage. He says in the song \u201cI might not be the same, but that\u2019s not important. No freedom \u2019til we\u2019re equal. Damn right I support it.\u201d His response to the issues that our society faces today are passionate, soulful, and brave. He speaks about straight people needing to have a voice on the issue, and be silent no longer. Support needs to come from everywhere, and this song is an amazing example.<\/p>\n Macklemore<\/em> has his own articulate response to this question, and I encourage everyone to read it (by clicking on the link).<\/p>\n I am incredibly inspired by this song, and I have high hopes for our future as a nation regarding same-sex marriage. Nobody says it better than Macklemore, \u201cIt\u2019s the same hate that\u2019s caused wars from religion. Gender to skin color, complexion of your pigment. Te same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins. Human rights for everybody, there is NO DIFFERENCE. Live on\u2026and be yourself!\u201d.<\/p>\n More of the album and info regarding the artists can be found at their website: Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.<\/p>\n Keep an open mind and open heart as you listen to the song below.<\/p>\n \u201cAmerica the brave still fears what we don\u2019t know. And \u2018God loves all his children\u2019, it\u2019s somehow forgotten. But we paraphrase a book written 3,500 years ago\u2026\u2026Whatever god you believe in, we come from the same one. Strip away the fear. Underneath it\u2019s all the same love. About time that we raised up.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It think it\u2019s important to recognize these quotes from the song. Some of the responses I have read are in upset because he is so obviously bashing Christians. Not true. This is a story. And he only is telling of experiences he had growing up Catholic at his church. It\u2019s a reality. The hate that SOME Catholics portray on homosexuals. Looking at the quotes above, Macklemore very clearly states that when you boil it down, whatever religion you are, or whatever you believe in, genuine love is genuine love. And it should not be discriminated.<\/p>\n That\u2019s my piece. I\u2019m a supporter. Of Macklemore<\/span>, and of same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n Check out another supporter at this blog.
