GREAT same-sex remake of a Taylor Swift video

[MiddleFingerMom]

.
Although I had heard OF her, until I saw the remake, and Googled for
the original to compare them, I had never heard a Taylor Swift song.
.
This is WELL-done. Wimped out mightily at the very end... but otherwise
a great alternative perspective -- and, what with the problems of low
self-esteem and high suicide rates, muchly-needed positive portrayals
of and for young gay teens.
.
First, the remake link... and then the original for those of you (like me)
who have no clue what the original looked like.

1. Adorable!

2. AND functional!!!

.
I think works like these should be incorporated into both GLBT self-esteem
seminars AND general population GLBT sensitivity seminars.
.
ESPECIALLY showing one juxtaposed with the other.
.
Love is love.
.
Powerful message to be used against those who think there's too damn much
love in the world.
.
And not enough hate.

7. Now if only it wasn't still Taylor Swift singing it.

The guys who did this video should talk to Pansy Division. They love doing cover songs and might be into the idea.
