After viewing, reading and listening to the following texts; The Help directed by Tate Taylor, The Kite Runner written by Khaled Hosseini, Imagine by John Lennon, and Same Love by Macklemore, I came to the conclusion that they are all connected through significant themes established throughout the texts.

He raps about the struggles of American civil rights activists, and then to their eventual success, enabling society to see what the gay community deserves today. “It 's the same hate that 's caused wars from religion, gender to skin color the complexion of your pigment. The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins, it 's human rights for everybody, there is no difference”. Explicitly demonstrating how homophobia is extensively linked to inhumanity, as he associates it with revolutionary historical change in the world.
