Marriage proposal ... At the SXSW film festival

A same-sex "marriage" proposal, that is.

Why a film festival? I take it because film fests are usually attended by those who consider themselves "open minded" and "evolved" - in other words liberals if not modern day liberals aka "progressives." If you ever went to a film festival in a major city, or a major film festival according to the movie industry, you'd understand where I'm coming from.

I guess "popping the question" at a sporting event wasn't in the plans, like what most (straight) people do. I would guess these proposals will rise in numbers at film fests. The LGBT people need a "safe place" to share their "love" and perversion ... Can't have that as a knuckle dragging sporting event like football or baseball (which are actually planned events by the hopeful, future groom).

Notice that the woman has a lanyard around her neck, which I assume is for workers of the film festival. She said it wasn't planned so she basically hijacked the main focus of the event (movies) in order to put herself and her perversion in the spot light. She also said she and her "girlfriend" have been together for 11 years. No kids (obviously). Also, notice that actress' reaction on stage, Saoirse Ronan, of that of surprise & glee. This is Ronan's first trip to SXSW and I believe to Austin, Texas (she's Irish and lives in England). Ah, the beauty of film fests! Ms. Ronan, and welcome to SXSW!
