Same-sex marriage has been a politically charged issue for some time now. And the controversy over this issue has stimulated my creative brain of late.

I must admit I do not have these ideas completely worked out yet. So, this piece, a work-in-progress has gone through several conceptual changes. The form this iteration has sifted out to, is that of a ring-bearer's pillow.

The title is a play on the words, an overly-used middle school cliche...(purposely intended to imply the sophomoric tone of this polarized political argument.) Just why is one type of relationship valid and others are not?
