Recuperating, Revisioning and Renaming: Reading Resistance and Ritual.

An essay is presented on the celebration of gay love which is called gayla. It says that gayla gives gay couples the chance to write their own vows replacing the unrealistic promises with promises that cannot be broken. It mentions that in the gayla celebration, no vow is spoken and no contract. It also states that the ritual that transforms the gay couple with new responsibilities is the ritual of commitment.
