We've seen the culture wars do some awful things but 'force the left to endorse Macklemore' might be the worst among them.

i actually think it's good that the most prominent avatars of the yes campaign are currently macklemore, dj funknuckl, and frances abbott

Kinda get Abbott's point on Macklemore though. You don't really hear many pop songs about heterosexual relationships

should also be a song about an expensive clothing shop for balance

Pauline Hanson says she's never heard of Macklemore, she doesn't care about him, but he shouldn't sing Same Love at the NRL #auspol

incidentally, macklemore is pronounced MAK-luh-maw, not MAK-uhl-maw (confirmed by artist in 2014 reddit ama)

Can straight people settle down and stop calling a Macklemore song from 2013 a "LGBTQ anthem"??? We're not talking Carly Rae Jepsen here.

Peter Dutton is absolutely going to detain Macklemore isn't he https://t.co/oKloOtGbGp

Have we reached peak weird when George Brandis is arguing with Tony Abbott about Macklemore's song choice at the NRL grand final?

Incredibly subversive of the NRL to go with a song about a guy who, at a young age, embraces the fact he is straight

I can't believe people my age have heard of Macklemore anyway

reminder: the Macklemore song Same Love is about a boy who literally bursts into tears upon imagining being a homosexual #inspiring

V funny conservatives are angrier about 'Same Love' than the fact Macklemore is going to sing "What up, I got a big cock!" to millions.

I, for one, hope Macklemore plays the first few bars of Same Love and then segues into Never Gonna Give You Up

NRL ANNOUNCER:

And now, for the sake of balance, Macklemore will perform a song about how department stores are superior to thrift shops.

i feel its unfair on luxury fashion stores that only a song about thrift shops will be played at the grand final

*Dutton produces a handful of crumpled notes from his breast pocket. The paper has clearly been stabbed with a pen in frustration several times* "I have composed a song on the very matter at hand, and I think it should be performed at the NRL grand final, for fairness."
