Music: Nhojj’s “Amazing Grace”

The new video uses a Christian hymn to tell the story of a gay interracial couple tying the knot

OUTMusic Award winner Nhojj‘s “Amazing Grace” is all about marriage equality. The video, directed by OUT 100 nominee Kirk Shannon-Butts, is becoming a hymn of affirmation for the LGBT community in support of same-sex marriage.

“It represents a step forward for homosexuals in reclaiming their spiritual lives and healing wounds,” says Nhojj, a singer from the Caribbean who’s released several other tracks dealing with gay life. But this is one of the first times a well-known Christian hymn has been reinterpreted for LGBT rights by portraying a male interracial couple exchanging wedding vows in the music video.
