The thing about Macklemore that gets me the most is how he sought out a lesbian singer for the chorus, put his uncles who are gay on the cover, the song was inspired by his gay uncles not being able to get married, etc, and he gets branded as the hetciswhitemale awful dude?

Overall I think the whole ~hip-hop is homophobic~ bit is eyeroll inducing b/c he is not the only rapper to support gays ever, but people seriously downplay how much he tried to make actual queer people a part of his song, and why he wrote it, and that really bothers me. Like as a lesbian, dude, if my lil bro or someone did that for me and people dissed him as just some white cis straight male, I'd be so mad I'd have blood coming out my eyeballs. He didn't do it out of some dumb noble ally points, he did it because the issue affects him since it involves someone he loves.

Kinda reminds me of (and this is only mildly related) this post on tumblr where somebody got an Austim Speaks puzzle piece on their arm. And a bunch of autistic people on tumblr were reblogging it laughing and being like NOBODY ON THE SPECTRUM WOULD GET THAT TATTOO *eyeroll*

And I'm thinkin yeah, ok, maybe nobody would. But maybe this guy did it for his son or little brother? Maybe he doesn't know of the problems Autism Speaks had and he's trying to show support for somebody he loves?

Allies of things don't always do things the way the community would like, they don't always know the ins and outs or who's "bad" or "good", and sometimes they offer support that's a bit ignorant. But it's still support and I wish people would be a bit more gentle and forgiving of that.

I dunno. I mean I'll admit, there's contexts like the one you thought of that'd make it work, but a tatoo like that seems like the sort of thing somebody trying too hard would do when drunk or something.
