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.

The homophobia that is engrained in hip-hop cultures very negative, but you are right that some people are fighting it.
