FIGHTING TO GET TO THE DANCE FLOOR
Today's gay movie was
Prom Queen: The Marc Hall Story
I suppose we should be used to films about getting gay boys and girls to a prom with a date of their choice. But it is still remarkable that this shit is so important to the moral guardians.
So here we are in Canada where this case actually set precedent in the matter of a conflict between Catholic teaching (it is a parochial school) and human rights law.
Marc Hall wants to take his boyfriend and sticks with it with the support of his family and friends and the law.
What is really nice about this is the way the film is constructed. A mockumentary sort of. Funny and touching at the same time.
Very good.
There is a special feature with the actual Marc Hall, his boyfriend and his parents as well as other principals to this story.
I liked it a lot and got teary. Just what we want for a hot afternoon.
Interestingly the story does not involve sex or the sexual aspect. It is about blatant discrimination against gays in the matter of dancing in public in an unofficial school activity.
Familiar subject in a creative setting.
Scroll down at the link and see Marc Hall make a visit to the web site.
