Same Love: Queen Latifah Officiates Gay Weddings at Grammys
Not to be outdone by other awards shows, the 56th Grammy Awards decided
to put on a wedding ceremony for 33 "Same Love" couples. Performers
Madonna, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Queen Latifah banded together
to produce a wedding ceremony for the mixture of gay and straight
couples, which included Ryan Lewis' sister and her fiancé. Madonna
hinted at this on the E! pre-show when she told Ryan Seacrest, "History
is going to be made tonight... I want to be a part of that." Known for
her bizarre stunts (the 2003 VMAs kiss with Brittney Spears, for
example), it is not a surprise that she would be involved. Neither is it
a surprise that Queen Latifah, who is rumored to be a lesbian, would be officiating. Of
course, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' song, "Same Love" has been known as "a
marriage-equality anthem" according to The New York Times.
The stage was set to give the appearance of a church with stained glass
windows; however, in the song, Macklemore calls out "right wing
conservatives," as "playing God" because they "think its a decision,"
along with churches who "preach hate" saying "their words aren't
anointed."
Apparently your words are only anointed if you agree with the lefty-gay agenda.
