Kateri89 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Y'all heard this song? It's Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and Mary Lambert. Here are the lyrics: When I was in the 3rd grade I thought that I was gay Cause I could draw, my uncle wasAnd I kept my room straightI told my mom, tears rushing down my face She's like, Ben you've loved girls since before pre-KTripping yeah I guess she had a point, didn't sheA bunch of stereotypes all in my head I remember doing the math like Yeah, I'm good at little leagueA pre-conceived idea of what it all meant For those that like the same sex had the characteristicsThe right-wing conservatives think it's a decision And you can be cured with some treatment and religionMan-made, rewiring of a pre-disposition Playing GodAhh nah, here we go America the brave Still fears what we don't knowAnd 'God loves all his children' is somehow forgottenBut we paraphrase a book written 3,500 years ago I don't know[Hook: Mary Lambert]And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted to And I can't change Even if I tried Even if I wanted toMy love, my love, my love She keeps me warm [x4] [Verse 2: Macklemore]If I was gay I would think hip-hop hates meHave you read the YouTube comments lately "Man that's gay" Gets dropped on the dailyWe've become so numb to what we're sayingOur culture founded from oppression Yet we don't have acceptance for 'emCall each other faggots Behind the keys of a message boardA word rooted in hate Yet our genre still ignores itGay is synonymous with the lesserIt's the same hate that's caused wars from religionGender to skin color Complexion of your pigment The same fight that led people to walk-outs and sit-ins Human rights for everybody There is no differenceLive on! And be yourself!When I was in church They taught me something else If you preach hate at the service Those words aren't anointed And that Holy Water That you soak in Has been poisonedWhen everyone else Is more comfortable Remaining voiceless Rather than fighting for humans That have had their rights stolenI might not be the same But that's not importantNo freedom til we're equal Damn right I support it[Trombone] I don't know [Hook] [Verse 3: Macklemore]We press play Don't press pause Progress, march on!With a veil over our eyes We turn our back on the cause'Till the day That my uncles can be united by lawKids are walkin' around the hallway Plagued by pain in their heartA world so hateful Some would rather die Than be who they areAnd a certificate on paper Isn't gonna solve it all But it's a damn good place to startNo law's gonna change us We have to change usWhatever god you believe in We come from the same oneStrip away the fear Underneath it's all the same love About time that we raised up [Hook] [Outro: Mary Lambert]Love is patient, love is kindLove is patient (not crying on Sundays) Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) Love is patient (not crying on Sundays) Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) So anyway, liberals these days lack all subtlety. At least they can condemn the Bible and praise God all in the same song. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you all being subtle when you threw people in jail for consensual sexual activity between adults? Are you subtle now when you tell gay people that they have objectively disordered inclinations?

CatholicsAreKewl Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Who's Macklemore? What? He's ONLY the coolest rapper to hit the scene since Asher Roth.

Are you subtle now when you tell gay people that they have objectively disordered inclinations? I'm not saying that they should be. I'm saying usually they try to be and that's how the media ended up being so liberal these days. It was a gradual process. And "you all" is inaccurate if you are referring to all conservatives. I have never had anyone put in jail for anything let alone consensual sexual activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conservatives did support and defend the anti-sodomy laws which were in effect until 2002. And the media isn't liberal. Parts of it are. Larger parts are conservative (maybe you've heard of the largest cable news channel, Fox) most of it is fairly middle road and vapid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Honestly, I like the song. I think he was communicating his thoughts in a very positive way. He really isnt tearing down religion at all in my opinion. He is pointing out that love is universal whether you believe in God or not. However the irony is that while those who consider themselves christian and SAY they love the person but not the sin, really communicate a different message through their actions whether its intentional or not. I have witnessed this personally with friends/family as well as on PM. Edited July 10, 2013 by CrossCuT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media bias in favor of liberal ideology is so overwhelming it's not funny. Fox is only one news channel. What about the liberal channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS, etc?

And up until 2008 each Texan was limited to 6 sexual devices. Social engineering at its finest. Edited July 10, 2013 by CatholicsAreKewl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the liberal channels such as ABC, NBC, CBS, etc? I guess it is if somebody is on the ultra right. People are the far left would describe those channels as very conservative. But measures on the normal American political spectrum, those channels are pretty down the middle. Yes. Fox is only one but it is the largest cable news channels. It's a larger part of the media aggregate that MSNBC (which is a partisan Democratic channel) or CNN (vapid and middle of the road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven77 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Whatever man. This dude wants to sell records. God loves all of his children, even Macklemore. I don't get how he thought he was gay seeing how Wu-Tang raised him and everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
