LIFELONG COMMITMENT
16 06 2008Following the tv sitcom Brothers and Sisters is like going through a mountain/forest trek. You may not enjoy every moment of it, but there are moments that just takes your breath away. Just like the sudden commitment ceremony of Kevin and Scotty, in last nights episode.
It is not because I am totally gay that I secretly rejoice when I see two guys exchanging vows. It is about the triumph of love and the honesty and bravery to face a commitment that you see and share between the partners, and their families and friends who support them.
When two guys exchange their rings as a sign of their love and devotion to each other, it is a if time stops in that moment and gathers all their past and future life to that single moment that marries these two lives together.
Like two rivers that meet and merge as one.
There was no malice, prejudice nor feelings of a mocked ceremony. All there was, was happiness and well wishes of a voyage into a lifelong commitment. (Well, the actors must be so good they are so believably in synch with their acting as seen in their eyes and facial expressions, especially Scotty)
Short, simple and sweet. Not too much drama (unlike Kitty’s). And except for Nora’s over-indulged flower arrangements, no fussed.
I wish that the writers should portray a successful gay marriage despite the odds - just like the ones that are existing and still going stronger as the years go by.
To Kevin and Scotty !
And the rest of us!
