The song "Same Love" discusses the controversial standing the world has with marriage equality. His comment“I knew I wanted to write a song about gay rights and homophobia within the hip-hop community and the world.” Macklemore 2013 thoroughly discusses the current negative influence the community has embraced upon "same love". Most of us have encountered social controversy unto our own cultural background only to contradict those actions by negatively judging or staying voiceless with other major social issues. The vocal online community has shown to reflect negative connotations through "Have you read the Youtube comments lately
"Man that's gay" Gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board"
The constant repression towards equality reflects the need to accept one another.
