Accepting MTV's Video Music Award for Best Song with a Social Message for their pro-gay, pro-marriage equality jam Same Love [below], Macklemore said, "I've been writing songs since I was 15 and out of every single song I have every written to me this is the most important record out of all of them. And to watch this song in the last year spread across the world is a testament to what is happening right here now America on the forefront of equality. Gay rights are human rights there is no separation."
Earlier in the evening, he and Ryan Lewis performed the song with lesbian Mary Lambert and Dreamgirl Jennifer Hudson. The twenty-four year-old Lambert has been out since she was seventeen and published her first book of poetry earlier this year, 500 Tips for Fat Girls.

I comment each time I especially enjoy a article on a site or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion. It's caused by the fire communicated in the article I looked at. And on this post Macklemore & Ryan Lewis Win VMA for Pro-Marriage Equality Song - Band of Thebes. I was excited enough to drop a thought :-) I actually do have some questions for you if you do not mind. Could it be only me or does it look like some of the responses appear as if they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting on additional online sites, I'd like to follow you. Would you list every one of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
