You call it "pre-game entertainment".
We call it "operation rainbow dawn".#macklemore #samelove #marriageequality #NRLGF pic.twitter.com/7kU0Te2Xpg— ɈⱯƧǾȠ ⱤƟṦƮⱭƝŦ (@jrostant) October 1, 2017

Macklemore's song was so moving. First time I've cried in response to an artist I'd never heard of a week ago. #marriagequality

Here's my bit of free speech – @macklemore was great and I hope the precious snowflakes who wanted him censored survived those sweet tunes ?
