**PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING:** (7/31/2015) I'm surprised at how many people are STILL saying "This song is wrong!" or "But not everyone's gay!" This isn't saying that EVERYONE is homosexual, or that being straight is a bad thing. The song literally says "if you're straight, well that's great!" multiple times. Please take the time to understand that this project is just supporting those who ARE lgbt+. The actual meaning isn't that we all like the same gender, but that we are all gay (the happy definition) when in acceptance of one another. _________________________________________ Update 10/24/2023- Hi, It's been over 8 years since this MAP was made, and I wanted to thank everyone for the support that you have given it (and each other) over that time. I haven't been replying to messages for a while now (partly because I'm an adult now lol), but I notice the same things get commented often, so I wanted to address a couple of them: - No matter what, I will not be closing comments. Yes, there have been many hateful comments over the years, and that has been the case since the day this project was posted. I even disabled comments for a little while a couple years ago. But I think it's extremely important, especially at a young age, to have spaces to be able to express your identity and to find other queer people. I know that this comment section, no matter how flawed, has provided that for some people, so comments will stay open. - I will never change the title or the thumbnail of the video. Thank you all so much again, and know that there will always be love and acceptance for you in the world, even if it takes some time to find it. _________________________________________ Update 6/17/2016- After what happened in Orlando, I feel people need to see this message more than ever. Everyone should have an equal chance at life, no matter their gender or sexuality. Love you all, stay safe, and let's keep those who have passed in our hearts and minds. ___________________________________________ Original description (7/31/2015): WOW. After a couple months of hard work, this is finally done! :D Everyone did an INCREDIBLE job! Sorry if any sprites are missing, or if the timing isn't perfect. I'm so sorry for the lack of backdrops- I tried backpacking them all but it didn't work :( It still looks good though, in my opinion. If you're here to hate on the subject of this video, please don't. Love is love, there is no stopping it. Of course, this splendid MAP would not be here without our wonderful animators! Here's all of them in order: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: Part 6: Part 7: Part 8: Part 9: me (i had to fill in) Part 10: Part 11: me again o-o Part 12: Part 13: Guess who Part 14: Part 15: Ending: me (I wasn't trying to hog, I just wanted to get this done by filling in the parts that were missing ^^) Whelp, that's about it! I'd like to thank everyone for the humongous amount of support with this :) Couldn't have done it without 'ya. A note to anyone and everyone- No matter your gender, race, sexuality, etc, you have the ability to be an incredible person in your own right. There will be people in the world who hate you for your identity, but don't listen to them. They don't know what they're talking about. You are unique, splendid and special in your own wonderful way. <3 Even if I don't know you I can say that with confidence. Bye, go pop those awesome animators a follow for me! This couldn't be a thing without them :) ~Jay
