There is a lot of hustle and bustle about legalizing gay marriage lately. Many celebrities take a stand on political issues and express their views to help popularize the issue and to aid in politicians’ campaigning. The artist, Macklemore, who recently performed in East Lansing, expresses his strong feelings about gay marriage through his music. In this popular music video, Macklemore raps about the typical stereotypes associated with homosexuality. He incorporates the hereditary aspect by thinking he is gay because “his uncle is,” and he emphasizes that since he can “keep his room straight” and “draw,” society tells him that he is gay. The touching lyrics mention that America fears the unknown and that “the right wing conservatives” think homosexuality can be cured with religion. It is a moving music video and a well-written rap that emphasizes that “Same Love” isn’t a choice with the lyric “I can’t change, even if I wanted to.”
