WATCH: Gay, Straight Couples Pledge 'Same Love' at Grammys

Wow.

Thirty-three couples, same-sex and opposite, were married Sunday night at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

“It is my distinct honor to ask our participants to exchange rings and signal their commitment to each other,” said officiant Queen Latifah as the couples exchanged vows and Best New Artist Macklemore performed his marriage equality anthem “Same Love,” with contributions from Mary Lambert, and Madonna sang “Open Your Heart.”

If you read the comments on the articles its amazing to see how many people complaining about unrelated politics being pushed at the Grammy's. Somehow marriage equality is unrelated to a hip-hop song about... marriage equality.
