Equal Rights and Same-Sex Marriage
The song Same Love focuses on the idea of same-sex love,
and how they should be given equal rights just like
everyone else

It talks about how homosexual people are discriminated


against

Also the song recognizes the ideas put into kids head about
homosexuals and how they are bad

Recognizes the fact that love is love no matter who it is


between

Mentions that people need to stand up for others and fight


for what is right
People
Same-Sex Relationships affect everybody

Addresses the people who are straight to stand up for the


discriminated

Wants the voiceless to have a voice

Homosexual people were seen as lesser, this was everyone


else's fault for standing by and watching

Makes people think about societal issues and how they can
make a stand

Fills people with bravery and make them feel better about
opening up to friends and family members
Equal Rights
Everyone is equal

Same-Sex marrige is about equality

The ability for two people of the same sex to be legally


married

Has been a controversial topic for a while

Some people believe it is not right

Many religious groups oppose

In past few years has gained much support


Same-Sex Marriage 2012

In 2012 when the song was writen same-sex marriage had not
yet been legalized

When the song was written and when it came out, same-sex
marriage, and civil rights were a huge topic

In fact it was that year that Obama announced he believed


same-sex couples had the right to be married

Wanted to get the song out as soon as possible because


referendum 74, in washington, was coming out

Referendum 74 was vote from the people on whether they


thought same-sex marriage should be legal
