Thirty-three couples, same-sex and opposite, were married Sunday night at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

"It is my distinct honor to ask our participants to exchange rings and signal their commitment to each other," said officiant Queen Latifah as the couples exchanged vows and Best New Artist Macklemore performed his marriage equality anthem "Same Love," with contributions from Mary Lambert, and Madonna sang "Open Your Heart."

Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
