Seattle-based rapper Macklemore and Mary Lambert wowed with their performance Same Lovea marriage equality anthem, at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, where they received the award for Best Video with a Social Message. The concert took on an especially glorious moment when Jennifer Hudson appeared and sang the hook with Lambert, a 24-year-old out-and-proud lesbian:

mary-lambertAnd I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can’t change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm

Fun fact: Mary Lambert wrote an adorable blog post about her experience shooting the video for Same Love. Read it here.
