I have to say, this event has really brought a lot of pedants out of the woodwork, mostly Christians, and that shit drives me nuts. But I've been pleasantly surprised by pretty much all the posts in this thread. Glad to be able to celebrate among decent people.

this is kind of tongue-in-cheek, but also kind of true. if i had to nominate a "gay anthem" it would be this: why? 1. it's a perfect piece of pure pop joy 2. it's by a woman 3. it's by a woman of color -- double outsider 4. the "somebody" is ambiguous enough to be a man or a woman 5. it's about the simple but universal longing of wanting to make a connection with someone, for a night or a lifetime 6. it's effortless and not trying to be an anthem -- i think "born this way" is fine, but it's such a self-conscious attempt; here, Whit isn't trying too hard to do anything but transport you for 3 and a half minutes 7. in any gay bar or any gay club in nearly any country in the world, everyone sings along |

We have a gay anthem here, but it's a Dutch artist so you probably haven't heard of her. I don't actually know why this is the anthem, it just is.

this is really nothing
and everything Nothing, because what is different, 37 states had marriage for all last week and the sky was not falling. In CA where I live Prop 8 divided the state, marital traditionalists, believed society would collapse with marriage for all. Well, we've had it for some time and life goes on as mundane as ever. So the remainder of the country will see that the many old testament plagues expected will not materialize. Wearing two sweaters to be ready for the rapture will get tiresome after awhile This is everything, because the world of perception is the world we live in. The marital traditionalists can no long fool themselves that their perception is the real world. They will have to awaken form their dream within a dream of their (inception) dreams. |

I'm glad that most of my fellow millennial's that I know have turned against him because he is straight up terrible. And the fact that he has to say in the song that he isn't gay is just awful. It's a homophobic line wrapped up in a song that wants to be anti-homophobic. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

Jesus
ok, I admit I have never heard the song of seen any videos of it so I looked it up expecting it to be a bit, well crappy and this is it ?? anybody taking a swing on this guy has lost all perspective this guy addresses issues, many that needed to be addressed head on hip hop gay issues, the black church and gays, etc. the guy deserves full credit |

I don't even know why I'm responding, but you honestly don't see an issue with a straight white man winning a shit ton of acclaim/awards off of a crappy hip hop song that clumsily addresses LBGT issues? Really? Sent from my iPad using U2 Interference |

I find the song extremely sincere
![]() He cops so much shit for trying to speak up for issues he cares about and it pisses me off, because so often people give artists crap for NOT speaking up when they have an audience to speak to. You can't have it both ways.
