Interview Number 1: Diane and Susan: Same Sex Married Couple:
During my interview with Diane and Susan I learned a lot about the topic from the perspective of a same sex married couple. One of the most interesting things that was brought up was the factor of the economy's relationship to this subject. By this I mean that weddings bring in a lot of money to a state, and this could affect a states decision to legalize same sex marriage. What I also found interesting during this interview was Diane and Susan's different views on marriage. Diane wanted to make a statement with her marriage, because she didn't want to just fall into the same category as opposite sex married couples. Susan wanted a traditional marriage because of where she grew up... so at their wedding they had to discuss every single detail on how to make it traditional, while also making a statement.This was very interesting to listen to
This interview most definitely not hard to do. The hardest part I have to say was taking the notes, because everything was happening so fast. It wasn't so much an interview, but more like a conversation, it was nice to just generally discuss with them about how they feel. They told many stories about the difficulties of transitioning. It really was not a hard thing to do, and it was also comforting knowing that I was talking to someone that I knew.
Interview Number 2: Mary Abele: Pastor
In my interview with Mary Abele I learned about her view on same sex marriage, which is that if two people love each other then people need to honor that. I also learned about how she and the All Souls Interfaith Gathering are starting a new way of contacting with the divine which is called interfaith... In her words in Interfaith, you find your own way of contacting the divine... and you use that belief system. This was interesting to hear about, and I most certainly agreed with her statement about honoring two peoples love.
The most difficult part of this interview was finding a time that worked for both myself and Mary. We kept both having plans or prior commitments when the other was free. We finally found a good time for an interview and it was good to get to ask her a couple of questions.
