Bridegroom Page #10

Synopsis: BRIDEGROOM tells the emotional journey of Shane and Tom, two young men in a loving and committed relationship - a relationship that was cut tragically short by a misstep off the side of a roof. The story of what happened after this accidental death - of how people without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves completely shut out and ostracized - is poignant, enraging, and opens a window onto the issue of marriage equality like no speech or lecture ever will. On May 7, 2012, the anniversary of Tom's death, after a year of documenting his own grief, Shane decided to make a video tribute to his partner entitled "It Could Happen To You." This film, posted on YouTube, received over 3.2 million hits and inspired over 50 thousand e-mails and comments on YouTube and Facebook. The impact of Shane's original film and the raw nerve it touched, tells us this is an important story that needs to be brought to the world stage.

# have you read

the youtube comments lately? #

# "man, that's gay"

gets dropped on the daily #

# we become so numb

to what we're saying #

# a culture founded

from oppression #

# yet we don't have

acceptance for 'em #

# call each other faggots

# behind the keys

of a message board #

# a word rooted in hate,

yet our genre still ignores it #

# gay is synonymous

with the lesser #

# it's the same hate

# that's caused wars

from religion #

# gender to skin color

# the complexion

of your pigment #

# the same fight

that led people #

# to walk-outs and sit-ins

# it's human rights

for everybody #

# there is no difference

# live on, and be yourself

# when I was at church,

they taught me something else #

# if you preach hate

at the service #

# those words aren't anointed

# that holy water

# that you soak in

has been poisoned #

# when everyone else

# is more comfortable

remaining voiceless #

# rather than fighting

for humans #

# that have had

their rights stolen #

# I might not be the same,

but that's not important #

# no freedom till we're equal

# damn right, I support it

# I don't know

- # love is patient

# love is kind

# love is patient

# love is kind

- # not crying on Sunday

- # well, I woke up

to the sound of silence #

# the cries were cutting like

knives in a fist fight #

# and I found you with

a bottle of wine #

# your head in the curtains

# and heart

like the fourth of July #

# you swore and said,

"we are not #

# we are not shining stars"

# this I know

# I never said we are

# though I've never been

through hell like that #

# I've closed

enough windows to know #

# you can never look back

# if you're lost and alone

# or you're sinking

like a stone #

# carry on

# may your past be the sound

# of your feet upon the ground

# carry on

# carry on, carry on

- An article

came out in the paper,

And then we had it

on our news channels,

And it was hard

for several of my family members

To see my son on there

with his gay partner.

It didn't bother me,

but it bothered a lot of people.

I ignore it.

'cause I'm proud

of what shane's doing,

And because I'll always

be grateful for tom

And what he gave to my son.

- Many times he said, you know,

"my life is not worth living

without tom. "

He's risen like a phoenix

from the ashes.

- Shane, the guy who was afraid

of coming out

And accepting who he was,

And now he's in front

of the parade

With rainbow flags behind him.

He made something positive

out of it,

Which is always tom's motto.

- Shane gave

discrimination against gays

A beautiful, unforgettable face,

And that face is tom.

- # my head is on fire

# but my legs are fine

# after all, they are mine

# lay your clothes

down on the floor #

# close the door

# hold the phones

# show me how no one's ever

gonna stop us tonight #

- # 'cause here we are

# we are shining stars

# we are invincible

# we are who we are

# on our darkest day

when we're miles away #

# sun will come,

we will find our way home #

- # if you're lost and alone

# or you're sinking

like a stone #

- # carry on

- # may your past be the sound

# of your feet upon the ground

- # carry on

# oh, oh, oh

# oh, oh, oh

# oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

# oh, oh, oh, oh

# oh, oh

# oh, oh, oh, oh

# oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

# oh, oh, oh, oh

- # no one's ever

gonna stop us tonight #

# no one's ever

gonna stop us tonight #

# no one's ever

# no one's ever gonna stop

# no one's ever gonna stop

# no one's ever

gonna stop us tonight #

- # hey

# tears all fall the same

# we all feel the rain

# we can't change

# everywhere we go

# we're lookin' for the sun

# nowhere to grow old

# we're always on the run

# they say we'll rot in hell

# but I don't think we will

# they've branded us enough

# outlaws of love

# scars make us who we are

# hearts and homes

are broken #

# broken

# far

# we could go so far

# with our minds wide open

# open

# hey

# tears all fall the same

# we all feel the rain

# we can't change

# everywhere we go

# we're lookin' for the sun

# nowhere to grow old

# we're always on the run

# they say we'll rot in hell

# but I don't think we will

# they've branded us enough

# outlaws of love

# outlaws of love

# outlaws of love

# outlaws of love

# outlaws of love
