Ari, Nice work. I have never understood why individuals would waste valuable personal energy in acts of hate and prejudice. Love just makes so much more sense!
mother of an FtM repesenting the allies who WANT TO LIVE IN THIS REALITY, where love trumps everything else.... godspeed ya, matey... great song and video
I absolutely love this video. I'm so happy that you aren't afraid to be you and when you are hugely famous one day everyone will see this video and think wow- if he can stand up, so can I.
Love the video ari. Hope big things for you my friend. Its been an honor to have shared the stage with you a few times. Keep up the stellar work and when you make it big, hire me to be your pool boy.
Retweeted and will Facebook it ASAP. And for the folks that think it's about being "for homosexuality", did you miss the representation of non-gay duos, as well as multi-ethnic groups? Why hone in on one aspect of the video. As Ari so eloquently states: emancipate your mind. Trust - you will be better for it.
And Ari - thank the fates for you. I am so grateful that I've gotten to meet you, hear you live, and that I have been changed by your music.

This song isn't about right or wrong, it's about acceptance. As human beings we all have the right to live our lives as we choose regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexuality as long as we are respectful of others.
Homosexuality is not wrong. You can't help love, you can't help what gender or who you fall for. Love is love, gender doesn't matter. All different kinds of people gays, blacks, everything should be treated equal. They are just like us. We're all only human. I love you Ari, and your inspiring, beautiful song. Wonderful job :)
This song is gorgeous, lyrically and melodically. You did an amazing job getting the message across, both words and with the video. I love it! Keep making amazing music.
Awesome Ari! I love the solo stuff, but you really shine with a full band backing you up. I can hear this one as a track in a love story movie, nice touch and excellent work!
@ariherstand Yeah, I follow you. Unfortunately, I have class at that time, but as long as we have a good number of people tweeting them at precisely the same time, they'll most likely watch your video and who knows what happens from there. I recommend doing another round too, especially if the first attempt doesn't work (but hopefully it will).
A time will be coordinated where we will all tweet/facebook/email Ellen DeGeneres' show, Lady Gaga, Don Lemon (recently out CNN Anchor), and others. This song and message needs to get out there!
Thank you for this beautiful song and video :) Liked, favourited, blogged and sent it to my friends - and I guess now I´m only commenting because I want it to get more attention. I´ve liked your music for quite a long time, but this is outstanding!
Beautiful. Have loved this song deeply since the first time I heard it and cleaved to it as the hopeful cling to dreams. So much ingenuity in this song with its powerful, uplifting message and support for all walks of love. The video came out brilliantly--pacing was really great, perfect with the music, a flawless display of equality, acceptance, and love.
I just want to say thank you! this is amazing and inspirational and ari herstand you are an amazing amazing man!!!
