“Same Love” - Macklemore feat. Mary Lambert
KNOWhomo is looking for SUBMISSIONS!
Hello Fabulous and Fantastic Family and Friends,
We’re working on a project and we’d love for YOU, yes YOU, to be part.
Everyone is talkin’ about equality and marriage. Talking. And talking. And screaming occasionally. And talking.
Well, how about we give them some people to look at? Some faces in the crowd?
The KNOWhomo family would like to add faces to the debate and show how we love, support, feel, embrace, and exist, all the while, singing Macklemore’s “Same Love” at the top of our lungs.
The project?
We are trying to collect photographs from people who would like to be part of the website’s Equality/Support video. The photos submitted will be added into a video with “Same Love” playing behind it.
We are currently looking for more, diverse photographs.
We’d love to show photographs of you with friends, allies showing support, and pictures of your commitment ceremony. We’d like to add photographs of fun first dates, pride events, and moments caught between you and those you love (all G/PG rated). We’d love to splice in photographs of PFLAG members and GSAs.
***Please just make sure everyone featured in the photograph has your permission to submit it before doing so.
We are also looking for photographs that highlight lyrics in the song.
If you’d like to be a part, please send us your photograph via SUBMISSIONS or to our email, knowhomo@gmail.com by Saturday, 8am EST.
Please feel free to pass this project on.
Thank you for your time and you participation. Keep On, Keeping On!

“Same Love”
(with Ryan Lewis)
(feat. Mary Lambert)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 tripping, “
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
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don’t know
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
I can’t change
Even if I try
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
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
(I don’t know)
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
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
I can’t change
Even if I try
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind

Hello!
Do you know someone who is married or in a union/partnership. Great! I’m doing an interactive project on the many ways couples—-straight, gay and bi and all shapes and sizes, define marriage.
Please visit my tumblr and upload a photo of this adorable couple (it may even be you and your loved one) and one word that defines their love.

Thank you for your time!
Anonymous asked: I've been dating my boyfriend for awhile now but I can't help but feel guilty because I'm more attacted to transguys then non-trans (also only dated/talked females in the past). Idk what to do!?!
Why feel guilty? You can be attracted to, date, and be physical with whomever you want, as long as everyone is safe and everything is consensual. You don’t need anybody’s approval. Embrace it!
thelgbthelpline asked: I just wanted to let people know that I've started an LGBT helpline, so that people who are having problems with their sexuality or coming out can come talk to us. You can also find us on youtube and on facebook. Thank you~
Thanks for letting me know!
tenmilesfromhome asked: Hi ^_^ I set up the blog for LGBT writing. The URL is seelove-feellove-writelove. Hope people will submit loads of stuff ^_^ all the support you can give me is graciously accepted!

Hello! My name is Evelyn and I’m a Sophomore in Kalani High School and I’m the Secretary of my class (leadership). And recently I’ve been assigned a project that must provide a service to the community and I’ve settled on doing something to help the LGBTQ community.
I’m going to put together a book. It’s going to be more of a collaboration of peoples’ stories.This book will be full of experiences of LGBTQ teens such as discovering your sexuality, coming out, and dealing with homophobia from both society and your parents. I’m going to need others who are willing to submit their stories so that I can include them into the book. I’m open to anybody’s stories— the more the merrier.
If anybody has any interest in writing a story or something, or if you know of anybody who might be, or even if you have an idea for a chapter, that would be great and you can message me (prettyhype.tumblr.com/ask). If you’re interested in writing, you could message me with like your email so I can keep in contact with you and give you weekly updates on the book. If not, however, then thank you for taking the time to read this!
Have a good rest of your day! ~
