Free love

For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don’t know
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don’t know


 Have recently been digging a lot of rap music and my friend, Dee told me about her amazing concert experience at Macklemore's gig here last weekend.

Decided to take a listen to some of his music and I stumbled across this music video. Haven't seen a mv that has left such a great impact on me in a while. Kudos to the directors for putting across such a good message in the simplest, yet moving way.

The lyrics are everything that someone who supports same sex relationships would say and it justs takes the words right out of your mouth. Genius lyrics, really. Being in a girls school for 10 years, especially in secondary school, I've been exposed to many stories and experiences on same gender relationships. And maybe some doesn't last, but some do. And I'm blessed that TK girls have taught me that love really knows no boundaries. I've learnt how to accept everyone for who they are, and who they love. Everyone has a right to love, doesn't matter gay or straight and I think this song really is the message for free love.

I get really put off by the fact that people look at gays or lesbians in a different light and think that they're "weird" or "not normal". There is nothing more sickening than people who think like that. But we all aren't here to please others, right? I'm not going to spend this whole blogpost talking about supporting same gender relationships but there's a blog post i read from here (she is super witty when she writes and I can't help but keep reading on) where she writes her feelings and thoughts on people who have "homophobia" or in other words, afraid of gays/lesbians.

Alright to end it all off, here's a little bit more lyrics from the song. Thought you guys would be more interested in some music that I've been listening to more than whatever's been going on in that crazy twister-like mind of mine. So... here you go. Have a great weekend you guys.


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
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It’s the same hate that’s caused wars from religion
Gender to skin color, the complexion of your pigment
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It’s human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself

When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren’t anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned

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
