'Far Away' is exactly what you expected Marsha to release, but the hype was not about the song, but rather the video it came with.
When watching the video, leave the judgments and opinions aside firstly. Listen and just watch with emotions.
Did she touch a subject that is very hard to speak of or understand? Are many people going to relate? Or better yet, are people of 'colour' going to understand and accept what is shown in front of them?
In this world, many are ignorant and choose to ignore what is around us. Homosexuality is every where whether you want to see it or not. Your sister, cousin, auntie or even parent could be gay.
Learn what you don't understand. Remember, your sexuality doesn't define the person you are or have become. Expecting to see the 'typical' gay man or woman is of the past. Now you have the thugs, rappers, lawyers and doctors who you would never think their homosexual. But why do we expect them to be dressed feminine/manly? why do we expect them to say 'Hey guuuuuuurl' at the beginning of a conversation? Lets not get it twisted though. Yes we've seen whats perceived as the 'typical' gay. The Alan Carr's and Grahame Norton's do exist, but that's just not it.
Its said, if you are of race or religion, it is hard to be accepted within the community. Its this true or false? How many times have we looked at a chick with shaved hair, baggy jeans and Air Force 1's, who 'bops' the streets like Ja Rule and automatically thought 'Lesbian'?
This is a touchy subject for some and I don't really want to offend anyone with my views. But again, your sexuality does NOT define who you are. So lets not judge and live happily (CHEESY).
