Yeah that's what I thought. I'd actually like to get into directing some of that shit. I got a vision, yo.

This lady is taking fingerbanging to a whole new level.

Illuminati magic.

(Fun fact: the scientific name for a baby ferg is a terdpole.)

*sigh* Another TV show about lawyers. I'm practically giddy with excitement. You can probably tell by the dazzling smile that isn't on my face.

I gotta say, calling her an anything Lena Dunham doesn't actually make me like this lady more. So, yes, please, she's more than that. In fact, she's not even that at all. She's like a up and coming Lena Waithe.

Oh I'm right there with you. It's just the only thing I can imagine as an explanation. "Oh we're not just calling out Macklemore, we're calling out all of them." And I'm irritated as well. When you've got little kids in the south singing about gay rights I think you officially did a good thing. This is especially

I'm an adult, and I'm all nuanced about the songs I listen to, but I know a lot of teenagers. I know about 10 teenage boys who LOVE Macklemore, and are now championing LGBTQ rights as a result. In fact, one teen boy I know came out to his friends after watching them change their anti-gay views as a result of that

Interesting decision to change the picture to a more biasing one. What was wrong with the still from (presumably) Same Love?

White Christmas, Let It Snow, I'll Be Home For Christmas, and many other holiday hits, were written by Jews. Does anyone not consider them Christmas songs because they were written by people that didn't celebrate Christmas?
If you answered No, then why should it matter who the writers of gay music prefer to kiss?
If

You know why I like this song? Because it's popular. Because the other day, I heard my 8 year old girl singing Mary Lambert's part without bothering to ask why a woman would be singing romantically about another woman. That's why I like this song and it's why I changed my mind about Macklemore. I saw the video on this

Macklemore's producer went through a pretty rigorous program in "THIS IS YOUR WHITE PRIVILEGE LEAVE IT AT THE DOOR" - I'd be really surprised if it didn't rub off on Macklemore, at least a little.

I would love to think that we live in a world where writing a song about gay rights was a surefire way to make millions of dollars and receive tons of public approbation. I agree that it would be great if he had taken the opportunity to call out some of the talented gay rappers who have been telling their own stories

I think in his lyrics he's not so much saying "it's okay to be gay," as much as he's saying "it's not okay to be intolerant." It's an important distinction. He's not speaking for the gay community; he's speaking as a straight person trying to share a message of acceptance and love with other straight people.

I don't see any part of this song that addresses members of the LGBT community. It addresses heterosexuals, and since it talks a great deal about the way boys and men fuck with each other, it seems to be addressing straight men. It's heavy-handed, lyrically speaking, and it's unfortunate that it takes a straight man

No, because using that logic a white man shouldn't of written "Strange Fruit."

Did it ever occur to you that progress is not made as quickly as it could be, because every time a straight/white/non-minority/etc. does something to call attention to a cause we call them disingenuous? I honestly think this falls under the same mindset as no press is bad press. Regardless, if he can bring the LGBT

YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US, MACKLEMORE.

Can't anybody do anything good anymore? It's either suspicious, or it's just not good enough.

I am bi, and I don't have a problem with it. Fact of the matter is straight white men only listen to straight white men most of the time. And Macklemore hasn't taken up the 'MY GAYS!' position that others have (you know that attitude- the one Kathy Griffin took up ironically). I don't see him as any hero, but the fact
