same love.

sometimes i think we are afraid to talk about controversial issues.
i speak up when i feel the need.
but i am often reserved.
& i try my best to be respectful of everyone's opinion.
no matter what you believe i think this is a powerful music video.
this song discusses the issue of gay marriage in an honest and well spoken manner.
and think the lyrics and the video progression reflect in a very real and honest way why i feel the way i do about this topic.



"When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that’s not important
No freedom till we’re equal, damn right I support it"


"We press play, don’t press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking ‘round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it all
But it’s a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one

Strip away the fear
Underneath it’s all the same love
About time that we raised up"
