One Potato, Two Potato (1964)
Similarities to Same-Sex Marriage
I saw this movie in 1965 with my, then very Macho husband and his best friend and his wife. Needless to say there were many tears. But what surprised me the most was the tears from these 2 macho dudes that they couldn't hide! We went out for coffee after and sat talking about the ramifications of the storyline until 3 AM! The issue of interracial marriage can be very closely connected to today's issue of same-sex marriage. I have known gay & Lesbian people who lost their children in a similar storyline. I've thought many times of this movie since the same-sex marriage battles began in San Francisco. I live in Portland Oregon where this is a hot issue. Additionally, Portland has one of the largest racially-mixed family populations in the country.
