My Fabulous Gay Wedding

I will say no more, this isn't the place for a discussion on this.....

That was quite a funny show.

I did find it funny that both guys didn't originally want to wear a kilt (there were Scottish roots), as they may have come across as feminine and stereotypically gay. However when both tried on the kilts, they commented on how butch they both felt.

Both of the men looked good in their kilts and represented them well. Let's remember, kilts are for guys in general.

The only reason this show wouldn't run in the US, is because Canada allows same sex marriage, where as the US does not.

Absolutely right! That's why there would NEVER be a miniseries run on Bravo called Gay Weddings, and why this same miniseries would never be released on DVD. You just can't DO that in America. We would NEVER broadcast anything contrary to the way things are.

Where I grew up, we received one Canadian station (CFPL-TV, from London, Ontario). You have to admit, Ugly Bear, that there is one major gap in American television that only Canadian stations are willing to fill: Curling. I want Curling on my TV!

(In defense of this thread, curling is a Scottish sport that is often performed in a kilt. I assume it is also performed by gay men, who may or may not be able to get married and/or watch gay marriage on television in American and/or Canada. But they can't watch curling here, darn it.)

[Ugly Bear]

Huzzah! Curling! This really is about kilts now! Whew!

But what about caber-tossing, stone-throwing and weight-hefting? I think we'll have to spin-off our sports channels to about the level of ESPN-99 before we get those.

We've got the Genesee Valley Highlands Gathering this weekend and ... (leaves to check listings) ... nope, no curling. But they have stones, hammers and cabers, both pro and ameteur competition. Now that ameteur caber toss is appealing ... maybe I'll enter, just for the spectacle of my internal organs exploding out my back as I attempt to lift the caber. I'd make the front page of the Local section, and maybe even get a few sympathy points in the competition.

We used to get CJOH over cable. We were always astonished at how quiet Canadian TV was compared to the USA. ("See, Mom, TV CAN be quiet!") But we never saw any curling. No Highland sports of any type, in fact. That was the '80's. Canadian TV has since, sadly, turned up the volume.

Except in Massachusetts where same-sex marriages are legally performed and recognized. And unless I am mistaken, a marriage recognized by one State is respected as a marriage in the remaining States.

P.S. Although there is a law before the Canadian Parliament that will make same-sex marriages legal in all parts of Canada, at present they are legal only in most of the Provinces.

You are mistaken ... now. The Defense of Marriage Act ended that.

Back to Kilts in the Media: The miniseries Gay Marriages -- which does not exist, and certainly isn't released on DVD, and has been seen by no one in America -- features two kilted pipers and a kilted drummer at the posh, downtown wedding reception of one of the couples. The grooms themselves wore ordinary day suits.

I just saw that show with the kilts in the wedding. It was very cool! The show on DirecTV's LOGO channel is titled, "First Comes Love", and Scott Thompson arranges marriages on it. It makes me really miss Kids in the Hall.
