Relationships come in all different shapes and sizes in “real” life, but now they also come in different shapes and sizes in “animated” life – thanks to Lilith Fair 2010 fan-favorite
The Weepies. Their new music video features an adorable lesbian couple sitting in a cloud among other a myriad of couplings – including an elderly straight couple and a girl sitting side-by-side with her four-legged best friend. The lesbian couple is shown embracing while their cloud pillow floats along across the screen.
With our recent win over the ultra-conservative right wing in regards to Proposition 8 and numerous media outlets covering the positive impact marriage equality would have over our community, this video seems to have been released at the appropriate time for furthering acceptance.
Gay and straight fans around the world are exclaiming their excitement over The Weepies’ new cute and controversial music video that originally premiered on the New York Post website on Tuesday, August 3, 2010. The NYP called the video, “a musical cacophony of bright and vivid proportions.” View it here for yourself and leave your comments below.
One-half of The Weepies’ team, Steve Tannen, says "In 2006 we started out just the two of us, driving to shows in our old Toyota packed like a sausage, playing coffeehouses. By mid-summer we were at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland. The crowd swelled to maybe 1,500 [and was] totally packed. We ended with a sold-out tour of the east coast of the U.S. with a full band. [It was] an amazing and totally exhausting year!"
