Same love

The performance duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis created a song with video in support for the marriage equality vote in Washington state last year. They call it Same Love and in it a young man talks about his gay uncles. Yeah, I heard about it then, but didn't bother watching.

The video has gone national. Its rise started just before the Supremes ruled on DOMA and the Calif. ban. No doubt the ruling fueled that rise. It now sits at #16 on Billboard's Hot 100 and will likely go higher. I've now watched it and it's a good one. You can watch it at this link, but you'll need to use the full screen mode.
