Same love is a song about homosexuality; the video shows how young people struggle to be themselves as homosexuals due to the pressures of their family, friends and society. As people in a western society, we have trouble accepting different types of people. This video sends a clear message that we need to grow up and accept people for who they are, not judge them because they aren’t whatever your idea of “normal” is. The video describes three types of people: homosexuals afraid to be themselves, homosexuals who are proud of themselves, and the naïve people that judge the homosexuals. This video shows the life of a man, from birth to death, and his struggles as a homosexual. He has a strong fear to be himself, because of the horrible judgement and abuse he may endure. As a teenager, he realizes his love for men, and becomes afraid of admitting it. He lives a very “normal” teenaged life, with friends, dances, and parties while hiding his sexuality. This is similar to many young men and women who might be afraid to show who they are to the world; they wait until they get out of high school, and become adults so that they don’t endure as much hate and bullying of young stupid kids. Years later, now accepting of his self, the man marries his boyfriend. This describes men and women who are who they are regardless of their sexuality, and abuse they endure. They know they will be judged everywhere they go, and will possibly be bashed by many people. They know that they can’t change, even if they wanted to and even if they tried, so they accept who they are and live life as a proud, openly gay man or woman. Lastly, it describes all the naïve people who believe that homosexuality is a horrible, disgusting thing. It is shown through a clip of a man walking down the street with his girlfriend, as they pass the homosexual couple walking holding hands as any straight couple would; he turns to them and calls them the derogatory word “faggots”. This shows how people are so afraid of “different”, that they deal with it by calling homosexuals crude, abusive, derogatory names. The video in all, calls out all the people who don’t believe that homosexuality is a good thing, and tells them that “underneath it’s all the same love”.
