I was very moved and excited when California had the balls to make Gay Marriage legal...which was the inspiration for my creation of this celebratory video in 2008. I'm not gay, but I come from a background of art and theater, so the notion that people of the same sex can love each other and want to commit for life feels quite basic and normal. I've been to as many gay weddings as I have straight weddings and have always felt that it is both cruel and ridiculous to not allow them the same rights as straight folks when it comes to legal commitments. I was proud to live in a state that supported that notion. Unfortunately, that did not last long... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_California
I have had a few comments from people about this video accusing me of making fun of gay rights by comparing them to cats. Just so ya know...I'm not. Bowser and Bobo were very gay for each other and were great companions until Bobo died last November. I decided to work with cats on this project because
a.) they are natural actors
b.) it's just as absurd and silly to imagine a world where cats marry each other as it is to actually live in a country where gay people are NOT ALLOWED to marry each other. (Separation of church and state will remain a myth in my mind until this changed throughout the entire country)
and
c.) i'm a crazy cat lady who thinks cats doing anything human is cute and funny :-)
