3:13 He changes the direction, he is resonance with the opening date of the video

My mother has questioned my sexuality ever since i showed her a picture of me with this bridge in the backround. Should i show her me with the Castro neon lighted marquee behind me?

My grandfather photographed the Golden Gate Bridge under construction during his visit to the US in 1936. I have the original negatives.
