Marilyn Monroe and Gay Marriage
Had Marilyn Monroe’s film been called ‘How to Register a Domestic Partnership with a Millionaire,’ it would not have conveyed the same meaning as did her famous movie, even though the underlying drama for same-sex couples is no different.
- Judge Stephen Reinhardt, US Court of Appeals (Ninth Court), ruling that Prop 8 (the law that banned gay marriage in California) is unconstitutional.
I object! Referring to How to Marry a Millionaire as a ‘Marilyn Monroe film’ is deplorable. It was an ensemble cast! A killer ensemble cast. The Court also invoked Groucho Marx, William Shakespeare and Frank Sinatra in its judgment.
