Macklemore, Mary Lambert and Madonna singing Same Love/Open Your Heart on the Grammys last night while 30 straight and gay couples were married by Queen Latifah was beautiful and touching. Sadly, a lot of the U.S. felt differently. Twitter has been full of horrible, homophobic tweets all day. CHECK OUT THESE TWITTER BIGOTS DISGUSTED BY MACKLEMORE’S ‘SAME LOVE’ WEDDINGS

Bryan Fischer @BryanJFischer
Heads up: Grammy telecast to feature sodomy-based wedding ceremonies.

Dr R Joseph Milligan @parsonjoe1
@CBS CBS: Shame on you, the Grammy’s is supposed to be a family friendly show. It was disgusting, and sick to have gay marriages.

BusterWilson @busterwilson
Total mockery of God on the Grammys tonight! The world has gone gay-mad! And it is sickening!

GRAMMY’S ARE PATHETIC.. I BOYCOTT FROM NOW ON. A GAY MARRIAGE ON TV IS DISGUSTING AND UNCALLED FOR.

I don’t care if they are gay or straight this is wrong. Quit shoving your leftist agenda down my throat. Enough is enough.

I said to mom “you still watching the Grammy awards”
She texted back & said “I was until this fag started singing”

THIS GRAMMY’S SUCKS SO BAD, THIS GAY/NON GAY PREACHING BY MACKLEMORE IS DISGUSTING. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE PEOPLE.

When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay,
‘Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight.
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She’s like “Ben you’ve loved girls since before pre-k, trippin’ ”
Yeah, I guess she had a point, didn’t she?
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
I remember doing the math like, “Yeah, I’m good at little league”
A preconceived idea of what it all meant
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it’s a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don’t know
And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
Paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don’t know

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
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren’t anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same, but that’s not important
No freedom till we’re equal, damn right I support it

We press play, don’t press pause
Progress, march on
With the veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
Till the day that my uncles can be united by law
When kids are walking ’round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn’t gonna solve it all
But it’s a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever God you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it’s all the same love
About time that we raised up

And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm

The Gay Road Less Traveled

A friend of mine who used to be one of the hard working under appreciated social workers for the State here in Pensacola has written a book now available on Kindle, John Jernigan’s “The Gay Road Less Traveled.” I purchased it tonight to start it, couldn’t out it down, it was so funny. Graphic, real, and hysterical, John’s writing is endearing, funny, smart and if you happen to be drinking coffee, it may shoot out of your nose at some point during one of his vignettes. You can read it on Kindle.
