Macklemores argument potrayed in this song, is the fight for Gay Marriage equality, and fair treatment. Macklemore mentions in the song that Gay is not a choice, and that at a young age children are able to identify that their sexual interest. He mentions in his song that you cannot "fix" same sex realtionships by going to church, or getting treatment. In the lyrics of his song he is validating the simple fact that LGBTQ community cannot change who they are and that they have the right to be treated like everyone else.

We thought that this music video "same love" was effective because it touched a lot of people in the LGBTQ community by saying its ok to love who you love and you can't cure being homesexual. Macklemore argues a lot of points through out his song, he truly shares the story of growing up gay, and how it effects a persons life as they go from the innocent child they were to being forced into church to be cured, and then the benefit of acceptance, when he gets happily married.

In this photo, it is showing him and his mother at church. He quotes " can't be cured by treatment or religion." The look on both him and his mothers faces, demonstrated that by trying to cure someone of their sexuality you are only making them miserable.

In this photo, it is showing two male figures getting married in a church after they have been accepted by their loved ones, and how by being accepting and supporting ones sexuality, you're allowing them to share their happiness, which they deserve.

This picture shows him playing with what appears to be his father, his father didn't know that he was gay, even though Macklemore knew. This demonstrates that despite a persons sexuality, they truly are the same person and should be treated fairly and shown love like their were before they came out.

We feel that this song doesn't have any weakness. This is because the lyrics were all very powerful, and the music video was very inspiring. Every scene in the music video had a purpose to express something important, and there was nothing that shouldn't have been added/ needed to be added. This video did an amazing job getting its point across about Same sex equality.
