Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Address Sexuality: “Fine, we're gay!”

Seattle rapper Macklemore and collaborator Ryan Lewis recently appeared on 'Chelsea Lately' and opened up about their equality anthem, 'Same Love'.

Speaking about the song, which recently won them an MTV VMA trophy for the Best Social Message Song, the pair explained that it was tough to write as they wanted to tackle it from the right perspective:

"It was an issue that I wanted to tackle but as a straight man, I’m like, 'What is my vantage point on this issue?'"

Regardless of what the internet thinks, yes [we are both straight]. If you type in Macklemore, the [first Google search choice] is 'is Macklmore gay?'"

Macklemore then explained that he first met Lewis on social networking site Myspace and after a bit of jesting from host Chelsea Handler, he threw his hands up and joked: "Fine, we’re gay!"
