Grace Dent: 33 marriages at the Grammys I thought of this again during Sunday night's Grammy Awards when Queen Latifah married 33 couples - gay and straight - while Madonna stumbled around in a cowboy hat with a cane, just after Daft Punk (older readers: they're the ones who dance about in masks, the Vice-generation Tweenies) and on the same bill as Beyoncé"s camel toe. For too long, straight people have had the right to ridiculous weddings and to drive-thru Vegas emotional car-crashes, the right to demand that their families wear pastel shades on a beach in the Dominican Republic, the right to doomed ceremonies in Klingon with every guest quietly seething after giving their card details to the John Lewis giftlist. In 2014, same-sex couples demand the equal right to be this foolish. "We were married by the woman from Barbershop 2 and Madge dressed as Boss Hogg from The Dukes of Hazzard," they can say, "And yes it lasted three months and now I live in a Comfort Inn, but this, my friends, is equality."
