New York, NY – Sunday night at the Grammys, Queen Latifah officiated the marriage of 34 couples – including same-sex couples – during the performance of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ Grammy-nominated song, “Same love.”
But the story gets better.
During the half-time show at next Sunday’s Super Bowl, Bruno Mars will officiate a same-sex marriage ceremony while performing one of his earlier hit songs, “Marry You.”
Although the identities of the same-sex couple have not been revealed, there is widespread speculation that one of the partners is a gay NFL player.
In the past months, plans by NFL to announce the coming out of several gay NFL players have all but fizzled out. But it appears that this is now the real thing. What a way to do it- at the Super Bowl nonetheless.
Who cares about the Seahawks and Broncos? Football fans (and non-fans) are more interested in this year’s Super Bowl half-time revelation.
Salt Lake City, Utah – The U.S. Supreme Court just handed down an order staying a Utah lower court’s decision recognizing that the Constitution forbids marriage discrimination . Though Utah requested that Justice Sonia Sotomayor issue the stay on her own, the Court’s order indicates that she referred the decision to the full Court. No justice indicated a dissent, although that does not necessarily mean that all nine justices would have granted the stay.
Pasadena, California – A San Diego woman is calling for a boycott of the popular Pasadena Rose Parade because two men from Los Angeles are scheduled to be married on a float called “Love is the Best Protection.” The cake-shaped float is being sponsored by The AIDS Healthcare Foundation to help raise awareness of HIV infection in the gay community.
