Thirty-three gay
and straight couples were married live at the Grammy Awards last night
in an emotionally-charged performance celebrating a year where the
Defense of Marriage Act was struck down and scores of states legalized
same-sex unions.
Queen Latifah
officiated the mass wedding during Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' powerful
rendition of their song 'Same Love,' which has become a marriage
equality anthem.
Lewis' own sister Laura even was part of the mass wedding, tying the knot with her boyfriend, Alex.
Queen Latifah
was recently deputized by Los Angeles County to legally conduct wedding
ceremonies and will sign the marriage certificates for each couple. 
Both passionate kisses and tender embraces were on display, as shown by these couples
The performers also embraced Queen Latifah onstage during the performance, who acted as officiant.
