We showed this movie after church on Sunday.
None of it was new to me, and was a little depressing and sad, but that's the reality for many same sex couples who want to get married and can't and those who have lost their loved one and then have everything taken away from them after their partner's death because their legal contracts weren't enough to give them the protections that legal marriage would have.
I highly remcommend the movie for those who don't understand why same sex couples want equal legal rights. This movie makes it very clear.
Director Jim de Sève's no-frills documentary takes a concerted look at the heated and ongoing debate about same-sex marriage in the United States. Focusing on two gay couples who've become entangled in laws forbidding homosexual wedlock, the film puts a human face on the issue. Included are interviews chronicling marriage's evolution through the centuries and a discussion by proponents, who debunk the arguments against gay unions.
Anyone else seen it? What did you think about it?
