My gorgeous friend Steve Marshall from Sydney went on holiday recently with his lovely boyfriend Rob. This video he shared captured something that really moved me. True love between two guys. It's a pity we live in a world where the crazy idea that two men or two women who love one another cannot possibly be entitled to the same rights as a man and women in union do.
"This is a video of my partner and I and some of what we got up to on a recent holiday to the USA. It’s just a video Rob created to show our family and friends what a great time we had, but I guess in addition to that, showed them just how much in love we are. We’re just two guys, travelling through life, having fun together – and perhaps anyone who saw this video who originally felt that our relationship was somehow different, or less valid than that of our heterosexual friends, would hopefully see that love is just love – regardless of who that love is between, and should not be viewed any differently by anybody, or any law, anytime or anywhere." - Steve
When I watch this video (admittedly a few times now) I feel so much love and joy. I hope you feel it too and if there ever was doubt in your mind about gay-love may I remind you that GAY also means happy. I hope we can live in a world with more of it. However it chooses to look.
Update: I saw this beautiful article on Upworthy of a mother's response to her son coming out on Facebook.
- Says it all really.
