Just for equality

In terms of the film itself, I don't think it's particularly good. The description of the narration is from the beginning to the end. Maybe it is because of the time limit of the film. Sometimes the story progresses too fast and it lacks a lot of feeling. But a small detail that moved me is that Laurel's goals are very clear from beginning to end. For equality, at the end of the video, he did not say that he supports gay marriage to attract attention.

True equality and lack of prejudice are not the victory of the minority, but the fact that no one is labeled as a minority, and all people have the same rights and obligations. Steven in the film, as the founder of a gay organization, is naturally obliged to use this incident to promote the process of gay marriage, but Laurel was not dazzled by the enthusiasm of everyone's help, but insisted on his own cognition of justice to fight, not for the sake of Homosexuality, but for equality.

The struggle of the LGTB community is like the struggle against feminism and many social prejudices. Don't always look at problems in the limitations of victims and vulnerable groups. The real victory is that we no longer emphasize the name of the movement, and we can also bear the normal misfortune and luck under equality.

    "She fought for fairness and justice all her life, but she was denied fairness." Dating cautiously and loving each other with fear, she had to work hard to get those things that were easy. She didn't want to speak for same-sex marriage, she just wanted fairness. This shows the true meaning of the legalization of same-sex marriage. It's not much, it's just equality, is it too much? Moore is the most straight-forward woman in Hollywood. Faced with a real lesbian partner, she has turned around a thousand times. Come out!

    The filming is a bit fake. If you change the narrative method, such as a documentary, at least in the form of a pseudo-documentary; or change the narrative structure and change the narrative level, the effect may be better.
