Challenging exhibition explores the dark side of gay marriage
As same-sex marriage gets ever-closer to becoming a reality for the UK, London- based photographer William To presents a challenging exhibition that raises some challenging questions for gay men who are contemplating getting hitched.
By juxtaposing conflicting visions of gay relationships, To's work asks us to consider:
-
Are gay men using marriage to blend in with heterosexual couples?
-
Will our identities be taken over by dull, subdued versions of our former selves as we embrace the traditional norms of straight relationships?
-
What exactly are we sacrificing for marriage equality?
-
Do we just see what we want to see?
