Gay Marriage Legalized
I am a film student at the Academy of Art University (AAU) in San Francisco. Nothing but eccentrics, hippies, radical liberals, and gay fashion students. Needless to say, when gay marriage in California was legalized, all the campuses were roaring with excitement.When I heard about the new law, I was on one of the AAU buses, headed for a Motion Picture Language class. A very flamboyant gay guy in my class was raving on about how excited he was, and was giggling at the thought of marrying a guy just for the fun of it.
The entire busload had a fun debate about how this could quite possibly ruin gay relationships forever. Gay couples are now being introduced to the world of divorces, broken homes, custody lawsuits, and all the other fun marriage-related goodies. After all, gay couples have just as much a right to be miserable as the rest of us.
At the end of June, I spent two weeks at the Young Actor's Theater Camp, teaching a filmmaking/film acting class to kids. The director and co-director of the camp, Shawn Ryan and John Ainsworth, were just married in San Francisco before the camp started. Their wedding was on the news, and they were surrounded by family and friends, as well as kids from the camp, there to support them.
I love San Francisco. While the rest of the world is still trying to build up a tolerance to gay relationships, San Francisco is already in loving acceptance.
