Macklemore's 'Same Love' wins VMA

Last night, Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, and Mary Lambert accepted the MTV Moonman at the Video Music Awards for "Best Video with a Social Message" for their marriage equality anthem 'Same Love'.

"I'll be honest," Macklemore said. "I really wanted to win the award for Best Rap Video but this Moonman here stands for a lot more. 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."

Testify!
