My culture guide and I attended the Tampa International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival for my second activity. We viewed the documentary movie, The Freedom to Marry, which documents the Supreme Court decision affirming same-sex marriage. Originally, we planned on going to a gay bar, but Johnny changed our plans. On our drive to the movie festival, Johnny revealed to me that he suffers from anxiety and depression. In fact, it is the reason he decided on taking me to the movie instead of a gay bar.…
