What is opportunistic about releasing a song about Marriage Equality in a country debating the the eradication of the rights of a whole minority?

Was this a serious question? EVERYTHING.

Neaux. And call me when an actual gay artist gets a hit like that rather than a straight white man acting like our Messiah and then keeping all of the money.

Macklemore cant get your electricity turned back on!

I can say that I've never had an issue with Macklemore and I commend him on standing up for gay rights even though he's a straight man.

I do, however, find it laughable that his music is hailed as groundbreaking just because he's a white rapper singing about social issues, yet The Roots, Common and Talib Kweli have been doing socially conscious rap for years yet no one really cares.

I also have a problem with gays having an issue with Macklemore standing up for gay rights, but have no issue with Gaga (who is obviously straight, has never gotten her cooch licked by another female and is pandering to the gays) singing "Born This Way." What kinda of sexism on gays' part?

We all have to get it together.

Call me when this wack ass cracker mole builds a home to house the LGBT teens living on the streets with the money he made from his pandering ass single. Then I will call him G0D.

Thrift Shop & Can't Hold Us were the 2 and 4th songs released from their album. Same Love was the third.
Thrift Shop smashed about 7 months after it was released. The new attention then led to Can't Hold Us getting radio adds (They're an independent duo hence wouldn't have the funds for payola). Same Love then followed suit.

I think alot of people are just annoyed that people will only listen to a straight white man about issues, but tell the people it actually affects that they're overreacting.

But Macklemore DID donate to gay causes. That's why Le1f backed down after his initial attack.

What isn't opportunistic about making a song about a hotly debated subject?
He obviously knew a rap song about gay rights would raise eyebrows and consequently be lauded

He did that after the backlash from the LGBT community. He's pandering. Until his bug eyed ass donates all of the money he made from that song to the cause which he cares S0 much about then he's using us and y'all are falling for it.

Le1f (actual LGBT rapper) giving him his lashings was everything.
