They were celebrating two rulings in support of gay marriage. Part of the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, was found unconstitutional. As a result, married same-sex couples are permitted the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples. Another ruling canceled a ban on gay marriage in California.
In the United States, same-sex marriage is allowed in 13 states and the District of Columbia. Many same-sex couples in the country still cannot get married. They might also face discrimination in their everyday lives. But public support for gay marriage rights has grown, and some popular music expresses support also. Madeline Smith plays some of these songs.
In the song "Same Love," the rapper Macklemore criticizes homophobic language, or expressions of hatred toward gay people.上周,同性婚姻支持者齐聚华盛顿,在美国最高法院门前庆祝两项支持同性婚姻的裁定。最高法院裁定部分《婚姻保护法》违宪,因此,同性恋“夫妇”在婚后允许享有与正常夫妻同等的联邦福利。另一项裁定废除了加利福尼亚州的同性婚姻禁令。
目前美国有13个州以及哥伦比亚特区允许同性伴侣结婚,但仍有许多同性伴侣不能合法结婚,在日常生活中他们还可能会遭到歧视。但公众支持同性婚姻权利的呼声日益高涨,一些流行音乐也表达了支持的心声。现在由玛德琳·史密斯为我们播放其中几首歌曲。
在歌曲《Same love》中,饶舌歌手迈克摩尔抨击了人们“谈同色变”、“仇同若蛊”的言辞。
