This WILL be a post and run, because I'm about to take BART to tonight's SF Kossacks dinner, celebrating the birthdays of dharmasyd and kimoconnor. The Grammys announced today that
the producers behind the program, which is to be broadcast live by CBS at 8 p.m., are hoping that the biggest show-stopper of the night will be a much more solemn event: an on-air wedding of 34 couples — gay, straight, old, young, of many races and many colors. The ceremony will be part of the hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s performance of their Grammy-nominated song “Same Love,” which became a marriage-equality anthem last year just as that issue was drawing intense national attention.
Queen Latifah will officiate at the nuptials, and Madonna will join Mary Lambert, the vocalist on the recording, to sing the song.
IN YOUR FACE, BIGOTS!!!!!!!
