Song Analysis: The Gay Song
The link I post is a lyric song other than normal music video and it named ‘The Gay Song’. The singer is apparently a girl who clearly expressed her not interested in men at all but a completely gay in graceful melody. I was undergoing a complicated time and didn’t decided my representation until I found this song. I finally make determination on this song because of the lyrics ‘sue me if I’m different, or sue me if you can’. Firstly, She’s being a member of the non-normal sexual group and also brave enough to be different. She is declaiming her lesbians’ sexual identity. Furthermore, she’s singing no care for incomprehension from the public. It indicates to be fearless claiming to be homosexuality is difficult because a group of people hardly respect this kind of relationship.
As parts of lyrics, ‘I’m Ellen when she’s younger’, ‘I’m Lindsay without Sam’, ‘I’m Spashley’ s biggest fan’. Ellen and Lindsay are not only famous but also influential on positive gays and lesbians patterns.

I believe that some guys hiding the sexual identity, sticking a picture of himself with a close woman friend “curled up against his chest” in his locker. That’s normal for homosexual person but not admitted to act that way. Although my representation does not mention enough information about male homosexual I explored answers from the authentic articles provided. The heterosexuality and homosexuality do produce difference towards different races and class. For example, refer to evidence provided in articles, African American are more homophobic than other racial groups. On the other hand, two same-sex people may fall in love with each other in addition to race, class and social

    Now, considering both Lorde and Alike are black, lesbian, women, it is important to correlate their standing with current LGBT issues in the world today. For instance, the most interesting one being Mississippi’s religious freedom bill. To explain, this bill states that any business owner may deny service to people due to their sexual orientation if it acts against their religious beliefs. And although gay marriage is legal and their rights are being taken into consideration more than ever before, there are still states in the U.S.A that try and pass anti-gay laws, this being one of them. Moreover, many LGBT rioters are protesting this bill and now the legality of it will be soon be determined by the U.S. supreme court. In acknowledging this justice issue, it depicts how society still has not come to full terms with people who are LGBT. This being said, more people need to stand up and “Yes, I am a black lesbian (pg.132), as both Lorde and Alike have said.…

    Embracing your sexuality can be quite scary in a world where it seems people wants to tear you down at every chance. It should be noted that lines nine and ten, Clifton could very well mean multiple things when she writes “they go where they want to go / they do what they want to do.” These lines imply that she not only feels that the extent of what she does with her hips is her business, but it also calls into question her own sexual orientation. It is, of course, rather a stretch to assume that these line mean she could be lesbian or bisexual. Still she may have intended to convey that it is no one else’s concern “where they go,” man or woman. Regardless, the statements “they don’t like to be held back / these hips have never been enslaved,” in lines seven and eight are nothing short of inspiring for all women. This message states that women should have as much freedom with their body as men without being shamed for it. This argument for freedom for women has come up in history countless times. The nineteenth amendment granted women freedom to vote, but when will women be granted freedom over their bodies without having to feel shame?…

    Pascoe writes of what she calls the fag discourse. She noted that the male students would often call each other a “fag” for no reason pertaining to sexuality, but more to do with masculinity. Girls never really used the word “fag” and were never called fags. When interviewed, both male and female students said that “fag” was the worst slur guys could direct at each other. According to this discourse, fear of being called out publicly as a “fag” is the primary driving force behind what Pascoe calls the display of “compulsive heterosexuality”.…

    Sometimes, the path of life contains various obstacles and instead of holding on we surrender via selecting the easy choice and then, sink ourselves in the river of failed hopes and dreams; giving up. Counting stars, now a popular song, was performed in 2013 by an American pop rock band called One Republic. Ryan Tedder, the band’s lead singer composed the song and produced it. The reason that lingers behind the composition of the song; according to the composer, is to resurface the importance of the issue of drugs in his hometown, America; and to recur the consequences of merging yourself deep within this problematic, influential situation. The song was written…
