The Underlying Truth: An Analysis On Macklemore’s Music Video â€Å"Same Love† Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion and beliefs. This has caused an ongoing controversy on gay rights. What people don’t think about is how this relates to past issues within society. As a culture we create this image of what is right and wrong. Those who are the minority or the outcast then tend to hide behind a shadow, afraid to show who they really are, and stand up for what they believe in.

Macklemore uses these religious lyrics in his song to try and open the eyes of those whom have a religious conflict with same sex marriage. He uses the lyrics â€Å"love is patient, love it kind† over and over again. Ironically this comes from a bible verse â€Å"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
