Also, re: this quote,

I'm having a lot of difficulty getting riled up about this supposed problem. If Macklemore ripped off another artist's song without proper permissions or credit, that sucks and he should probably face a consequent lawsuit. But I don't see it as him appropriating the message of gay hip-hop artists, and I don't see him…

It sounds like you're hitting on a bigger problem (re: the assumption that you're LGBT code-switching depending on whom you're dating, which...whuh??), and that's Ally or not, you can't fix stupid.

srsly ROTFLMFAO can you BELIEVE this guy?!?!

...the fuck is happening here?

...whuh?
