Actors Justin Long and Mike White have teamed up for a new pro-gay marriage video campaign, which demonstrates that marriage is just as much drudgery for gay couples as it is for straight.
The video is entitled “ Make Homosexuals Marry ,” and it follows the life of gay couple Devin and Glenn, who meet cute at a gay cameraboys pride parade, fall in love, marry in a traditional Jewish ceremony and are soon dealing with the everyday difficulties that all married couples – gay and straight – experience at one time or another.
The couple starts off their life together with fiery passion and cuddling contentedly on the couch. Then the meddling in-laws arrive, weight is gained, pee is left on the toilet seat, their sex life cools and suspicions of infidelity creep in to the ever-increasing distance between them on the couch. The video ends with the now older gay couple staring mournfully at the younger version of themselves, in a grocery store parking lot, jumping gleefully into each others arms to the beat of Lady Gaga.
