"No
matter what your opinion is about Gay Marriage, you are sure
to enjoy the latest film from Mark Kenneth Woods, prolific
political gay filmmaker. "Holy Matrimony Billy"
is a hilarious and entertaining look at the politics and games
surrounding the issue of gays and marriage. Definitely worth
your time." - Internet Video

HOLY
MATRIMONY BILLY!
2004,
Canada, Video, 4:30 mins.
Billy dreams of marrying George W. Bush but most folks
seem to think that marriage is a right exclusive to heterosexuals.
Billy knows better. Referencing McCarthy-era propaganda
films, Billy cleverly questions current anti-gay marriage
rhetoric with humour and style.
