I want to start this off by saying that I'm a Christian. Yes, I support gay marriage/relationships. There are a lot of religious extremists out there who ruin the whole religious image for everyone. People who aren't religious tend to think we are all just wacko crazy. That's also something that needs to change.
Really, all problems, whether it be in regards to sex preference, religion, gun rights, race, etc... People just need to be understanding. I'm not going to tell a woman that she can't love another women, that her love isn't real, because I would never want someone to tell ME (a female) that my love for my fiance (a male) isn't genuine or correct. I would never tell someone to not own a gun, because I wouldn't want someone to tell me that I can't own a knife. I refuse to tell someone that they can't celebrate Kwanza or Hanuka, because I don't want someone to tell me that I can't celebrate Christmas.
It's really not anyone else's business what other people do. What right does anyone have to judge someone else? Maybe if more people judged themselves, and kept their noses out of other people's lives, we wouldn't have so many problems like this song describes.
When it says "A world so hateful, some would rather die than be who we are", that applies to a lot of situations. I knew two people who committed suicide while I was in high school. One was gay. He had kept it a secret from everyone, until he walked into the school holding hands with his boyfriend. Between the students, teachers, and even his damn PARENTS, he lasted almost a year. He died in my Junior year. Now I know that teenagers are nasty, but the adults at least should have had more maturity and sensibility than that. The other boy was obese, and severely depressed because of it, and the teasing he received.
I hope that one day, songs like this won't be needed.
I agree with you for almost 100 %, except the last thing; we will always need songs like this, even if they are there to keep reminding us where we came from; those who don't learn from the past are bound to make the same mistakes over and over.
