    As well as being a goldsmith I'm also an actor and a director. 

    It's just been Pride week here in the Keys and I directed the "Pride
    Follies" - a variety show of professional actors, dancers, singers.
    Comedians, drag queens (our saints!) and musicians - gay and
    straight. 

    The top of the second half was an on stage wedding for an middle
    aged lesbian couple. Internationally acclaimed artist Rick Worth made
    a huge floral arch, I had the stage flooded with clouds and rose
    petals fell from the ceiling as our mayor married them. 

    Everyone cried - remember this is Key West and the audience was
    composed of about 60% straight people - the local leather club
    provided the escort and honor guard for the couple and the cheering
    didn't stop for five minutes. 

    I made their rings and pearl necklaces.
