Microsoft has unveiled its new advert for its email Outlook, and has found a way to show their support for marriage equality.

The ad features a woman receiving updates about her friends’ lives, with a guy changing jobs from deliveryman to stuntman, and a girl marrying her female partner.

It also features the music of Macklemore, a hip hop artist who released a beautiful, haunting anthem about gay people last year called Same Love.

Last month, Microsoft was one of several companies who signed a brief supporting marriage equality.

Later this year, the Supreme Court will decide two important cases on the topic – one involving California’s Prop 8 and one involving the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

In 2005, Microsoft was criticized for contemplating whether to stop supporting gay rights causes.

‘After looking at the question from all sides, I’ve concluded that diversity in the workplace is such an important issue for our business that it should be included in our legislative agenda,’ said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmar.

‘I respect there will be different viewpoints. But as CEO, I am doing what I believe is right for our company as a whole.’

The Windows 8 follows an ad for Amazon’s Kindle Paperwhite e-reader that also featured a gay couple.
