| Toronto Sun photographer captures Carole Pope "blessing" Ian Taylor and George Olds' Wedding Certificate |
It's the 10 year anniversary of same sex marriage becoming legal in Canada nationally. During the height of the same sex marriage controversy as it made it's
way through the courtrooms to be made officially legal nationally,
TP
Entertainment & Productions was there on several fronts....firstly in 2005
TPE produced the world's
1st ever Same Sex & Wedding Show to offer nuptials at the show to world citizens - the 1st of its kind anywhere in
the world - at Canada's largest
Metro Toronto Convention Centre!
Through the
process of putting the show together TPE recognized the
controversy involved - including some bias in the wedding industry
as well as the media at the time - and thus rounded up a documentary crew to capture
as much as possible. As a result TPE has 22 hours of raw documentary
footage dying to get made into a feature length film.
Upon viewing
The Short Thin Pink Line again, I realized the importance of that time in our history and the need to be vigilante even now as we witness time and again attempts at suppression, such as the
HARPER government (Conservatives actually voted 90-4 against) has recently tried to have same sex weddings from
those coming here to marry from other countries called not legal - meaning the contestant couples we 'd brought to Canada from other countries to marry at our
show 10 years ago....
MAY NOT BE LEGALLY BOUND!? Wow...would only add value to our future
film. And destroy some marriages! Can we be held liable for couples who got married at the show should the Feds' position prevail in the future? I hope to cover this in the feature film version of
A Thin Pink Line.

Controversy certainly swirled during the making of this show which I've captured much of on videotape - from the streets of
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to protests at Queens Park, to the Village bars, to downtown Torontonians on the street, to vendors and have documented their opinions from that time onscreen. I hope you enjoy the snippets I've prepared for your viewing in this 10 minute screener.
