A Brief History of 'Same Love'

From: OUT
Same Love is Released July 18, 2012
The song is released on July 18, 2012, preceding the October 9 album release of The Heist. The duo, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, wrote and produced the song specifically to support same-sex marriage and approval of a February 2012 bill in Washington State (Macklemore is from Seattle) that would legalize marriage equality. The bill passes via Washington Referendum 74 and is officially certified on December 5 and becomes a rallying cry.
