The show has almost always used its status as a platform to subtly educate and enlighten people on gay rights history. I think they should've chosen gay couples instead of straight ones. We can see straight weddings on any other show.


I thought that at first too. But then I realized that RuPaul specifically mentioned marriage equality, and for it to be gay weddings on an already gay-centric show would have come off as biased. Ru and the show probably wanted to highlight that advocating marriage equality for LGBT people *will not* take away from the institution of marriage as it is for straight people. (A lot of straight people are already doing that just fine on their own. /rimshot)
