    I've seen a few confused comments, so just to clarify:
    The song starts out with a producer or some other guy in charge talking to a singer/songwriter. The singer is gay, but the producer is telling him to make his songs about girls instead of guys so they can sound straight. He's basically being a big homophobe and telling the singer to stay closeted and/or not write any gay songs so he can appeal to the public, make more money, and not change "the way things have always been". Finally, at the end, the singer tells the producer that he's not gonna change his songs and he's not gonna hide who he is. Then the music kinda combines and it's the singer's lines playing at the same time as the producer's chorus.
    As far as I can tell, the song is calling out the homophobia in the music industry.

      But it does make sense the vast majority of the population is straight and you are more likely to buy music which you can identify with, so it is obvious that the manager advises him to write in a straight perspective.
      It would be homophobic if you boycott him just because of his song or to blackmail him.

      @Shindai 6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      I'm not sure about that. I know I've saved a few lives, directly or indirectly. I've done a lot of good with my life. If I died tomorrow, I'll be just a number, but my mother is alive today because of me, a gay friend I supported (raised christian, realised he was gay, much conflicted) is married to the love of his life now because I helped him accept himself. In a numbers game, sure I'm just another human. But to those I've helped I'm a person of value. More valued by them than I put on myself despite that. But in school I was treated like a freak, accused of sexual assault just to spite me, life was made hell and I frequently questioned whether I was worth the effort of protecting. When enough people tell you you're worthless you start to question whether so many people can be wrong.

      Daniel, Dan.
      This Universe is billions of years old. Stars were born and have died that existed both longer than Earth, and died before Earth even formed. Gas, dust, debris, metals, organic materials, water, everything in the universe was created, one thing after the other, rapidly, slowly, and chaotically. All of that, eventually, after billions of years of chaotic existence, settled down to create you. And me. And everyone else. And we can never be replicated. What we live through, who we interact with, none of it will ever be the same, and none of it can be synthesized. There will always be details lost to the void. Every single human being is unique. Every single human being is special. Every single one has worth. Inherent, true worth, actual value to them, because they are alive. Once you die, your body degrades and you disappear from existence in all but name and image. You are worth it. Absolutely.

    I want to say this. When I first heard this song I got something completely different. What I imagined was a popular singer helping this young gay star rise as he did and giving him the unfortunate truth of the music industry. He wants to help this young man accomplish his dreams but is scared that people will tear him apart because he's gay. And the end is the same guy admitting that they should already know that people know about gay people. The star didn't have the courage to admit to his fans and with the help of this new guy, they are going to turn things around and admit that they are gay, with or without the producers. I feel like that makes the song more relate able and more tragic, yet also triumphant.

      Straight people say stupid shit like this. If they say shit, I'm going to mock them.
      It's probably not the nicest thing to do, but when you see idiots whining about how we're making everything gay and shoving it down their throats think of the children blah blah blah, it becomes and much better option to make some snarky internet comments than to go and beat someone.
      I have a feeling that a least *some* of the heterophobia you see might be this. I don't know what your experiences are, but when you have been bullied by a lot of shitty straight people, a few jokes with fellow queers are really good for blowing off steam.
      Historically, I find that the good allies are able to understand where these kinds of remarks come from, because understanding your privilege means understand many people with your privilege can be shit. The ones who do it for brownie points, on the other hand, tend to take offense to any criticisms of their behavior.

    • @PalomaDreams17
      @PalomaDreams17 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It shouldn't--and the beautiful thing is, it doesn't in mine bc I'm not the odd one out.
      Unfortunately, I (and you?) live in a country that only legalized gay marriage two and a half years ago, and where your employer can still fire you for your sexuality. My state's the one that passed HB2, for fuck's sake. Sexuality does matter.
      Sometimes, a privileged person will say something stupid. And sometimes they're too small-minded to listen. And thus, they are criticized in our modern art form of memes.
      Look, and correct me if I'm wrong, I have a feeling you're the kind of person that doesn't want insults thrown either way, because you don't want either side to attack each other. However, one side has already shot and fired, and while unity is a nice message, a lot of straight people think the fight's over after Obergefell, and feel that taking actual steps to normalize queerness is forcing it on them, and a lot of allies are here for brownie points, and tend to drown out the important voices.
      What we've got currently didn't come because we all held hands and sang friendship songs, it came from riots and harsh words. Words that don't make anyone comfortable, and certainly weren't liked by heterosexuals. Criticizing heteronormativity and straight people, yes, including allies, is going to make some uncomfortable, because being told you're doing something wrong and you have to change isn't fun, is guaranteed to bring more radical changes than just shouting "love is love", smiling pretty, and keeping everything nice will.

      ...you mean that you think the word homosexuals is offensive..? Because if thats what you mean then lemme tell you that its an objective scientific term
      And if you mean that some might get offended because she wrote homosexuals in the very end then well it happens often that teachers are very hesistant to talk about gays. In Poland there was this book author that was gay and in this school lecture we had one of the boys was literally daydreaming about dating a young male farmer and he spends half of the book looking for a perfect young farmer he would "get along with". Its pretty fucking obvious he was gay af but a lot of teachers still refuses to believe that and that the author was gay. I was a lucky one and the first thing my teacher said bout the author was "he was gay and thus the strong homosexual undertones appear" and holy shit i was screaming
      (If you wonder what happened with the Boy and the Farmer, well it was chaotic and the last thing the boy says in the book before the main character leaves the place is "MINE HE IS" about the farmer)

      Although I personally agree that the chorus is super catchy haha but I do actually think the catchiness of only the chorus adds more to the overall message of the song. To me, the chorus (albeit catchy) sounds so much like the kind of 'radio-friendly' pop you'd find in other catchy tunes and it just drives home how much of that is so specifically tuned towards just making sure the art sells rather than being something true to the singer. It's also pretty cool I think because it makes only that part of the song stand out compared to the rest and this seems like another layer of commentary to me since it seems to be criticising how only the chorus seems to get remembered in generic pop songs.

      *Kiwi Studios* if you listen carefully at the end, the way that the two parts of the song are layered make its sound like he’s singing “SOME girls like boys and boys like girls” which I think is pretty cool, it’s a subtle difference but it’s there

    one time a little kid came up to me at taco bell when me and my girlfriend were on a fast food date, drinking a starburst freeze with two straws and he was like "are you guys best friends or something?" and i was like "no, we're a lil bit more than that:)" and it took him a minute but when he figured it out he was sO MINDBLOWN and he was like" GIRLS CAN DATE GIRLS?!" and i was like"yeah, it's like dating a boy but instead of having a boy you have a girl!" and he was so fascinated and he asked me "does that mean boys can date boys and it's, like, a thing people do?" and i was like "absolutely!" and then he out of nowhere just started CRYING (not even joking there were t e a r s) and said "Mommy! did you hear that?? I like boys more and it isn't strange OR bad!" and he just ran over and hugged me. about a week later i saw him again at the farm fresh by my neighbourhood and he saw me and he smiled and said "Hey, I know you!! By the way, this is Austin :)" and he pointed at a boy that was with him and he just sorta grinned at me and then Austin asked the boy who I was and he just responded "let's just say she helped me out a lot." and they walked away. I'm never gonna forget that day. And people think that homosexual love shouldn't be shown to little kids, that it will emotionally scar them or that it's disgusting or whatever. but to that i say, SUCK MY ASS:))))

    I think the most powerful line here is: "the kids aready know". It's so true, like, seriously just because some old poeple in charge are uptight doesn't mean what offends them will offend kids. So the argument "think about the children" is letterally the most stupid argument ever. What about all the kids questionning their sexuality who wish they had more content for them? What about all the tolerant straight ones who don't want to be used by homophobic poeple as an excuse?

And I asked her why she thought that and she said, "I don't know." Homophobic people always talk about "gays pushing their gayness onto the children" but that's exactly what their doing, and it pisses me off. I get that they think it's wrong, but openly expressing that, saying that being gay is wrong, and telling gay people that they need to stop being themselves, is NOT their place to be saying, they are making people feel bad about being themselves, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT. (Sorry I just really needed to rant to somebody.)

    I kinda accidently came out to my parents around a week ago that I had a girlfriend. I can't even to describe how negatively they reacted towards it. They started yelling at me that it was wrong and that I haven't found the right guy yet. They said that I'm too young to know who I like and that I shouldn't judge them because of how they act. The next morning, I go on my phone and see that someone went through my text messages, contacts and settings. Now every time I make mention of her to them, especially my mom, they make a big deal out it. Basically telling me in a subtle, sugar-coated version that I should break up with her and date a boy instead.

Well I plan to give them a big fuck you when I meet my girlfriend and kiss her. When you're old enough to move out, do so if you want. When you're out of college, you don't have to have any contact with them. Just remember that it's okay to love the same-sex. Our hearts want what our hearts want after all, we don't love by choice.

    I told them that wasn't very nice and then they told me to get away from them.

      Julia, if you look a bit closer you'll find nothing in the Bible against gays. Not even in the Old Testament. All you find are texts against exploiting [younger] males for prostitution. If someone tells you different they are 'interpreting' texts a bit generous to their [current political] liking. However, the ancient Hebrew or Greek scriptures use specific terms.

    To my childhood best friend:
    I'm so sorry that when you came out to me three years ago, I was so homophobic towards you. My behavior was inexcusable. I'm sorry that I pushed you away. I'm sorry that you felt the need to go back in the closet because of the way I acted. If I had known then what I know now, things would have been different. But I can't change the past, I can only change the present and future and accept and love you for who you are. There is nothing wrong with you. There was something wrong with me.
    Edit: as of September 6th, 2020, I finally got the chance to apologize in person!! Two months later (and perhaps three and a half years too late). I'm glad I got the chance to apologize to him, even if he won't forgive me.

I wish I could apologize, I'm hoping there'll be a time soon I can.

    “Girls like boys and boys like girls and that’s the way it has always been”
    I know the singer is mimicking someone else, but for those who believe this to be true, I want you to know that you are sorely mistaken. Homosexuality has been engraved in history since the beginning of recorded history. Egyptians (the great civilization) often took up partners of the same sex. Greeks (who inspire literally every western society and civilization of today) were incredibly gay. Aphrodite had many female partners and epics about her did not shy away from that. Achilles, from the Iliad, known as the greatest warrior, had a male lover and Plato even went to the lengths of writing an essay on why Achilles was the bottom. Plato was also said to have many relations with men. Alexander the Great, who is one of the greatest leaders in our known history, had a male lover whom he worshipped as if he were a god. Spartans, who were he most hardcore group of warriors (both male and female), were so gay that the men’s wives had to cut their hair short to ease their husbands into heterosexuality. Gayness has been everywhere, even in more recent history. Shakespeare (a weird dude) was gay. Thomas Jefferson was said to have an interestingly (wink wink) close friendship with James Madison, Alexander Hamilton wrote love letters to John Laurence, and Alan Turning, the man who basically invented computers and made it possible to end World War II earlier than it would have and did hella impressive sciency stuff, was gay and all his work was discredited because he was what he was. Frida Kahlo, one of the most influential painters, was known to have various female partners and she was never scared to confirm her love for other women.
    What I’m trying to say is that homosexuality has been around forever, and it will always be around. There’s nothing wrong with it, believe me, I struggled for a long time to come to this conclusion. I didn't want to acknowledge my sexuality, but I eventually resolved all my turmoil. The fact that you have enough love in you to share it with others is enough, and you should celebrate that, not mourn it. I want all the kids who’ve listened to this song or read this comment to know that they are not weird, or abnormal or in any bad way different than any other kid. If someone tells you this, you must kick them out of your life because toxicity will only ruin you.
    Love Yourself and love the love you have in you, there’s nothing wrong with it. Heck, the founding fathers of U.S.A were gay af, the greatest warriors in history were gay af, and they were pretty great people (some of them are questionable, and not all gay people are great people, they’re human so a lot of them can have faults but that’s not my point), so that means that you can be great and amazing and still be gay.
    Live on and be what you are without worry, my brethren.

    She's right too. In music we were doing "ship yourself" as our end of year song, since the only restriction was a group work thing and we had to learn to play it. Anyway, we got stopped because "it uses the word smut" and then "all the youtubers that you wish were gay" so we decided to test if it was the gay thing actually stopping us from doing the song. So what was the experiment? Two raps, "spectrum" by boyinaband and "the good fast rap" by the same person. We were told we couldn't do spectrum. So, what was my friends reaction? Let's give the school a subtle middle finger to the homophobia.
    Anyway, long story short, we did love will have its sacrifices (Carmilla gay vampire love ftw) and got a pretty good grade.
    So then we had to learn something on our own, for the sake of there's only a few weeks left of term. I'm learning don't stay in school because fuck my school

      It shows people don't listen to all the lyrics. You don't even need the bridge to tell you this isn't homophobic.

      EXACTLY. It’s obviously satiric from the start.

    Am I the only one who notices' when it says "You should never seek to challenge and audience they buy what they're told and we never get it wrong" It turns into "They're told and we never get it" (the lyrics on screen) and I think that's really cool
