Bridegroom - the movie

This was one of those movies I looked up Netflix because I'd heard the title mentioned in another context. I ended up watching the whole thing, even had to hit pause to go and get tissues. Bridegroom is so honest, so strong.
If you need to show someone why marriage should be for everyone - gay or straight - show them Bridegroom.

Sweden has had gay marriage since 2009. My mother is a Vicar in the Swedish Church and she married a gay couple a few months ago. Her only worry was that she would slip and say "husband and wife" instead of "husband and husband".



If you want to know more about what it's like to be gay around the world, Stephen Fry made an excellent two-part documentary called "Out There". I learned a lot and I admire the way he conducts interviews so calm and so well-researched.

Almost a week since my last post? I must apologize.

Today has been interesting. Prince Carl Philip is in our neck of the woods to race his Porsche in Carrera Cup. One of my coworkers starts to foam at the mouth at as soon as someone says "Royal" so naturally I've been teasing him all day. And guess who got out and cover the story just because he writes sport?

My coworker doesn't know it yet, but I changed the starting page in his browser from his favourite football site to the Swedish Royalist Society while he was away.
And there is a rather dashing photo of the prince in uniform inside his bag. I just wish he would open it soon, because the suspense is killing me.

So what have I been up to this week, besides playing pranks on my non-royalist coworker?
Let's see. I've been listening to episodes of Issue Oriented and Stephen Fry's podgram on my new mp3-player. I hung out at Hep Town Records on my day off and saw The Tempest at Hipp in Malmö.
