Perfect LGBT Anthem Song

To continue today's theme of music, here is another LGBT music related post!
 

In recent years, popular music has seen an increase in songs supporting marriage equality, the LGBT community, and being who you are. Songs such as "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera (2002) "Raise Your Glass" by P!nk (2010), "Firework" by Katy Perry (2010), and  "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga (2011) - just to name a few - have shown LGBT support either in their lyrics, videos, or both.

A few days ago, a friend shared a link on my Facebook page for a music video she knew I'd love that goes with the other ones I mentioned. The video was for the song "Same Love" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. I'm not sure how I've been oblivious to this video so far since it was posted on Youtube back in October, but it is another to add to the list of amazing LGBT supportive songs. Frankly, I think it might just surpass other LGBT support songs in terms of being a real world LGBT anthem (Please don't throw stuff at me for saying that!) just simply because it talks about issues that are very real to people in the LGBT community, both youth and adults. 

The video itself made me choke up a bit, and then completely bawl my eyes out at the end. I really hope you'll check it out if you haven't seen it already.
