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."

I skipped this entire show, just as I skipped the Rose Bowl Parade this year.

Everything was fine (including the reunion performance of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr ).

No controversies in the show until they showed this performance.

Any straight guy who got married during this, needs to have their Man Card revoked.

The entertainment industry, including the unholy trifecta of the music biz, Hollywood, and Silicon Valley, are Marxist propaganda tools. They have never been as openly brazen as they are today. This is a sick ritual designed to brainwash kids. Records show this was one of the most watched Grammy award ceremonies in years. The goal is to normalize and brainwash children, and it can all be traced back to CPUSA. They’ve infiltrated the entire country God damn it!

The only silver lining is the entire entertainment world is dying a slow death from the illegal download industry. They lose trillions in profits every year. It’s why they are trying to stealth push things like SOPA and PIPA.

There’s no room for any sympathy for the enemies of America. This entire thing is satanic.

I skipped it out of indifference, now I’m GLAD (not be confused with GLADD) that I skipped the Grammys.

Which, if they were to pass, would simply fail.

I noticed CBS pulled away quickly when the couples went in for a kiss

Has anyone seen the ratings for this year’s Crummy awards show? Did viewers tune out in droves, like they have for the last decade or so?

It was UP slightly from last year.

I think the performance reunion of the last two living Beatles had something to do with it.

God is not impressed and His children are not persuaded.
