Grammy Awards say 'we do,' get political with mass wedding, both gay and straight
Fox News ^ | 01/27/2014 | Hollie McKay

This year, the Grammy Awards weren't just about the music, they were also about making a statement in the same-sex marriage debate.

Heavily hyped in the hours leading up to Sunday night's show, 34 couples -- both gay and straight -- exchanged rings and said "I do," as officiated on stage by Queen Latifah. The actress/rapper/talk show host was recently deputized by Los Angeles County to legally conduct wedding ceremonies and will sign the marriage certificates for each couple.

The event took place on a stage set to resemble a giant chapel with stained-glass windows during a performance by hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, in which they sang their hit tune "Same Love," a song embraced by the LGBT community last year.

One of the couples who tied-the-knot was Lewis's sister Laura and her boyfriend Alex.

"The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision/And you can be cured with some treatment and religion/Man-made rewiring of a predisposition," Macklemore rapped. "Playing God, aw nah here we go/America the brave still fears what we don't know/And God loves all his children, is somehow forgotten/But we paraphrase a book written 3500 years ago."

Madonna later joined the matrimonial moment in an all-white suit, singing a portion of her heyday hit "Open Your Heart."

Never watched, hate the music, hate the culture. Very disappointed to learn that Jedadiah Bila/Bula (sp) supports gay marriage, heard her say it a couple weeks ago.

Again tonight, on Hannity she says she is a right wing Conservative, but that she supports all that crap, and then she goes on to say that many many right wing conservatives (her term) feel same as her, and that we have to embrace this stuff to start winning elections

NO THANKS, I used to think I liked this girl

No controversies in the show until they showed this performance.

Not relevant. I won't watch any show that includes homosexuality as a way of normalizing perversion.

I did not say I hated her, just that she is no longer someone I take seriously

Didn’t intend for that inference. I was speaking to the consequences of placating the fallacy of homosexual ‘marriage’.

Hopefully she’ll stay in New Zealand and stay away from the poisonous Hollywood culture.
