It got the gay-haters in the US all riled up and furious, so job well done.

On top of that Madonna Macklemore wanted to promote themselves as good people? Madonna, the same woman who's last human rights project was released for free for everyone to download, who has built schools in impoverished nations and who helped the victims of Hurricane sandy with her bare hands needs the grammys to make people think she's a good person?

Actually, yes. This couldn't have had better timing considering she did something a BIT insensitive/racist last week.

I truly, honestly appreciate the good intentions (and I know Madonna of course means well, she always has), but it did indeed feel gimmicky. Beyond that though, I just don't like the song

It's more problematic than it is helpful

It's all about the statement that is being made. I thought it was effective. You already have all the conservatives calling the Grammy's anti-god and ****. You all act like gay-marriage is still widely accepted by all, this is a movement (much like the civil rights movement), and any effort in the positive direction counts. It's an achievement.

This.

What she did last week wasn't insensetive or racist, In fact the people that reacted to it were being too sensetive. Any word in a language that is in current use (unlike Latin) is malleable. Language is constantly evolving, changing. The meaning of words change over time. It also changes from context to context. Contextualization and intentionality are everything (rather than the words themselves). This is NOT AN OPINION, this is a scientific fact. Sociolinguistics Linguistics is a science.

Ontop of that Queen Latifa was actually Oficiated. On top of that the Los Angeles County registrar has confirmed that they were real.

It's a sad state of affairs when you have a bunch of gay boys complaining that someone is trying to help their community and trying to find ways to make it less credible. I have an idea, why don't we examine the negative comments made about this and perhaps who even was behind this rumor... who wants to place a bet that the people saying negative things and trying to discredit this have the words "little Monster" in their profiles.

It doesn't appear that you do appreciate Madonna's good intentions.

Well DUH.

That's unfortunate

I'm gay and disagree with this article. It starts with the US to show the world that we should accept LGBTQ people. There are people dying in other countries for trying to get married/ or for being gay atm. In Nigeria/Uganda. People will do anything to take away from Macklemore's Grammy wins/success even if it means shredding apart a good deed.

Okay but what about that one gay couple who started crying in the white suits? Too emosh to be staged but who knows

I just got off the [phone] with the Los Angeles County registrar and county clerk, which super-duper, triple confirmed to me that, yep, all of the marriages that you saw last night were the real deal. The certificates were filed with their office.

And with that, my friends, the case is closed.
