I GET IT NOW..| Hozier - Take Me To Church (Official Video) REACTION 

I'm SO sorry they made you feel that way sweetheart 😔 in my opinion those who call themselves "Christian" or use religion as a reason to hate or judge another are the fucking WORST. They're also usually the ones with the most to hide. It look a bad marriage to a Narcissist to strip me of all of my self esteem/worth, Im 52 now 11 years after I left & I'm still trying to find mine. I made damn sure my gay son now 24 ALWAYS knew he was loved & supported 💙 Sending you tons of love & hugs tonight from 🇨🇦 xo

People are cruel and apparently have too much time on their hands... instead of taking care of their own business, they get all up in everyone else's... their hatred, fear and anger made them characters in YOUR story, and irrelevant in their own... you won. You know who you are and the fact that you have the ability to love is a strength... WHO that is, makes no difference... it's the 21st century. Live, love and know YOU are worthy of love.

I am your new mom and I LOVE YOU!!!!

Why did they call you sick?

@Rose Madder I was just confused because Kiwi said the people there didn't know they were gay so was confused why they called Kiwi sick if not for that

You where born and to me everybody is born to me outof love, other peoples tiny minds is what make us sick, I don't know you but even if you are purple with yellow dots, I love you when you love, whomever you love

Absolutely! #FreeMomHugs 🌈❤

I don't know that the song is necessarily about being gay, but rather the hypocrisy of the church and some of those that attend these institutions. Catholic priests were diddling altar boys but the church was covering it up while still preaching against abortion or birth control or homosexuality or whatever. A lot of so-called Christians are Christians on Sundays but live a sinful life the rest of the week. Too many conservative bible-thumpers condemn homosexuality and other lifestyle choices while having affairs (Jim Baker and Jerry Falwell come immediately to mind) and using up all the offerings to buy themselves mansions. Not everyone is good and not everyone is bad. A majority of us probably fall somewhere in between. There is no reason for any of us to let others tell us how to behave and how to live.

Me too. I never saw the video until now.

Yeah same I didn't know about the song being about gay people being oppressed until I saw another reaction of this song

This song is not about being gay. The video is. The song can be about lots of things, like all good songs, depends on the person who's listening.

i am so glad you stuck by your brother!!!!!

Yeah I'm a southern woman who happens to be bi and this song hits hard. I've never suffered because of who I am...people in my little town mind their own business, in general, thankfully.

My mom was raised in a free will Baptist church in the south. Didn’t even know she could be gay. Bc of that it wasn’t till after her 3rd husband & 3rd child that she even realized she was gay. She had been desperately searching for love with men she was biologically unable to feel attracted to. Growing up in the LGBTQ+ community I knew my family and the ppl who helped raise me weren’t abnormal, but religious family members told me my mother would burn in eternal hellfire, when I was 7 fcking yrs old. It was traumatizing bc my mom was everything to me. I knew they were wrong but I was terrified of god and hell. Till I realized at 14 I’d rather burn in hell with the ppl that I loved then be in heaven with those evil religious btches who would traumatize a child to the point I devolved stomach pains and severe anxiety. I also remember my mom telling me how I should keep our family a secret to keep me from being bullied. I didn’t know at the time but that must have broken her heart. I was the only child she really had left, my older sister had run off and my ex step dad had threatened my mom with having her other kids taken away for being gay if she didn’t give custody of her toddler to him. The one thing they did for sure was make atheists out of the both of us. I believed in god as a child but all faith was killed by their bigotry and cruelty. But on a positive note my best friend in HS found my home to be her haven. Her parents were homophbic bigots but my family gave her the courage to come out. (She’s married to her wife now and they’re about to go through IVF to have their first child.) By HS I quit hiding my family and developed a reputation for beating anyones a$$ who tried to tlk sht to me. My mom passed unexpectedly in 2020 but I’m grateful she got to see marriage legalized and the end to many state level discriminatory laws. I’m also grateful that my HS best friend’s child won’t have to hide her family.

@@Comrade_mommy Babydoll, I feel your pain in a way. I spent 3 years of my life in a Free Will Baptist. Folks are cruel and unfortunately, your mom saw that side. I lost my mom in 2001 - 5 days after I turned 18. My heart goes out to you. Your mom sounds like she was a strong, wonderful woman who instilled some great things in her daughter/son. I don't know you but I am your sister under the "human condition". Sending hugs and love your way. ❤❤

Love is love. Hate and being different is just something that shows a person's maturity in the true human condition. My God loves all and I mean all.....

@@lorrieannesilvey474 exactly. And im glad you believe that.

"but sadly some try to rationalize their hate.." I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion here but personally I I think the right word for this would be " _justifying_ their hate and fear.." . I think that if these types of people (the mobs) in the video would not end up doing what they did if they'd rationalize their decisions.

Beautifully explained, Thank you!

Thank you SO much for that! I'm originally from Belfast & had no idea!! Your explanation was amazing 💜 And if you ask me the cult known as the Catholic church are the leaders in hypocrisy, that's just my own two cents.

@@bkm2797 You are most welcome, BKM 💙💛

@@lesleywarnock228 You are very welcome. And I agree 100% on the CC leading the hypocrisy race.

@@lesleywarnock228 Unlike those nice Presbyterians?

YES! 💜 -x-

Movement!

Yes! That video is absolutely incredible.

absolutely mind blowing!

Yes....watching Sergei dancing to the song is amazing and all the words you used as well!!

It happend with Madonna's Like a Prayer.... ppl use to love it till you tell them what it is about... lmao

how sad for them...!!!

Do they know the real story or what's it morphed into. The song was written to bring attention to the vile and heinous crimes perpetuated against the LGBT community in Chechnya. They were hunted. They were tortured. They were imprisoned. They were killed.

I am a muslim and i love this song. Basically just enjoy it and May God have mercy on those who are struggling 🙏

It's our sexuality, there's no choice involved.

Cherish him and guard him.

Nine years ago the song was written to bring attention to the heinous crimes being perpetuated against the gay community in Chechnya. They were hunted. They were imprisoned. They were tortured. They were killed. Why? Because of religion.

the artist himself in an interview said it was about his frustration with the catholic church views and growing up in Ireland. Since he wrote the song I believe him. He did say there are many ways to interpret the song however. @@m.gattus-reinhart845

I have two adult sons who are not gay, but I made sure to teach them at a very young age that sometimes a man and a woman fall in love, sometimes 2 men fall in love and sometimes 2 women fall in love, some people marry, some people don't, some have children, some don't, etc., etc. I never wanted them to think there was a wrong or right when it came to sexuality, or life choices, despite what they were sure to hear as they got older. If one of them had been gay, they would have known it made no difference to me. Neither is gay, but they are both kind hearted, open minded young men.

@@jerickson725 I have 4 sons. I taught them the same way you have and we have a myriad of relationships with and without children among the 4. That's why I'm so thankful I was their mother and not someone who was intolerant of difference. Sounds like you and I are very similar!♥️

@@veganlion4328 I bet all of your children are thankful you are their mother too!! 😊🤗 Unfortunately some are not as lucky.

❤️❤️❤️
