Thursday, January 6th 2011 | Leave a Comment

Marsha Ambrosius has released the official music video for “Far Away,” the second single from the former Floetry singer’s upcoming solo album Late Nights, Early Mornings (due in stores February 22nd). The video showcases the struggles homosexuals in today’s society go through, from dealing with the bullying and taunting, to having thoughts of suicide.

“Dear friends, every year over 1 million people commit SUICIDE. Some were BULLIED because of their SEXUALITY. I lost a friend to SUICIDE, and I’m asking all of you to support alternative lifestyles,” Marsha states. “Don’t put up with or join in with BULLYING. It’s time we become more aware in this WORLD. Take a responsibility to make a difference. So if my MUSIC can save one life, I’ve done my job.”

Love this video, song, and truths in it. This video addresses the problems our community has with gay people, and it gives credence to why we have DL men. When men are gay in the black community they are forced, in most circumstances, to stay in the closet or be DL. This video displayed a couple that was out and how ignorant people can be towards gay people that are out. I lived in a home where I had to stay in the closet, but I thank GOD I had examples of family members who flourished when they got away and were able to be themselves. I feel for those who feel that helpless that they rather kill themselves, but for those out there that are considering it don’t do it. It does get better and if you have to leave your community to be yourself, do it. It’s so worth it being honest with yourself, and there are people who will love and accept you for who you really are.

I’m glad I finally took out some time to watch Far Away and I loved it. It was sad but at the same time so real for a lot of people. I commend you for taking this chance on this and I wish you all the luck in the world. Your make up in this video is FIERCE!
