V- Variety of styles of dance that are incorporated into one
O- Originality, Making moves you can call your own and setting your own tone
G- Guts, Being able to actually show off your talent in front of the tons of people watching
U- Unique moves making your performance different from others or helping it stand out from the crowd
E- Evolution, Growing with your performance and making it better than what it was when you first started, staying dedicated to perfecting your craft.
Voguing consist of five elements. Hands, Duckwalk, Catwalk, Spins/Dips, and Floor performance. Each element is very technical but fun to do once you actually know what to do and how to do it. Vogue has changed tremendously; it is more about illusions, fast movements, telling stories, and breakdowns. Voguing is a creative art form that many people aren't exposed to, which makes it so much more interesting to people who have never seen it and so much more fun to demonstrate.

Same Love (SSR)
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately?
"Man, that's gay" gets dropped on the daily
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
I found this song to be very touching, emotional, encouraging, insightful and informational. People still fail to realize that things such as the topic of being gay and obstacles that come with being gay are very emotional for people who affected by the lifestyle. Everyday people cast judgement upon gay people just because of who they like and love. Everyone is human and have different things going on with them but people pick on that one thing to outcast people. Its sad but listening to this song helps you realize a lot.
