Macklemore's Pro-Gay ?You Can Play? PSA: Watch The ...

Out Of The Thrift Shop & Into The Streets!

The latest artist to throw their high-profile support behind gay youths who are struggling with bullying and their identities is chart-topping, bargain-shopping Seattle MC Macklemore, who, along with Ryan Lewis, recently spent four weeks atop the Hot 100 with breakout hit ?Thrift Shop.? In a new video clip for the You Can Play campaign, the 29-year-old, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, says, ?Things are really good for us right now.? He later adds, ?We?ve also got some great friends and family, and some of them are gay.?

Bringing the point home, Haggerty continues: ?You know someone who?s gay: athletes, musicians ? people in your life. They just haven?t told you yet.?

The rapper says that being gay doesn?t matter, because if ?you have the skills, talent and the heart, you can play. Don?t let being gay hold you back.? He then notes that anti-gay language has ?no place in sports or music.?

And, hey ? if there?s anyone who knows all about maintaining a cool balance of confidence in their life, it?s the man who penned the line, ?Walk into the club like, ?What up? I got a big cock!??
