Yes, TV is the perfect approach to folks who would not otherwise, buy or rent a doc on Marriage Equality.
Please, help us spread the word… -

We had hoped the film would be embraced more fully by LGBT media orgs – but that has been limited. We still believe it can reach a “tipping point” and be broadcast on television, thus reaching a much wider audience.

PFLAG is a good model for sharing stories of LGBT struggles.

We have many hours of film shot in Afghanistan, Syria and Jordan… a look at the lives of Muslim women around the globe.
Funding is scarce for a project like this – but we hope to complete it. -

The films’s distributor is Cinema Libre.
Netflix has NOT made a purchase yet – so PLEASE, add it to your Netflix Queue. They are waiting for the “magic number” of requests. We don’t know what that is.
But, yes – amazon.com
And now iTunes! -

New Hampshire becme the 6th state to sanction gay marriage, and the third to do so legislatively, after Vermont and Maine. Rhode Island is the only New England state without marriage equality.

In the lead up to the Prop 8 vote – we had finished the first version of the film and offered it directly to the three orgs heading the fight. In each case, we were told that they could not focus on small events like screenings, but had set their sights on “big donors” to make the most hay.
In hindsight, this strategy failed. -

I hope you get a chance to see it and share the film with family members who do not understand the importance of marriage equality – even within the LGBT community.

Even with Obama’s Directive instructing medical staff to incorporate LGBT families in the care of patients, states without clear legal parameters of what is required can lapse into personal decisions, revealing bias and discrimination.

About Charlene and Kate, everyone in Seattle was aware of what happened during the Dec 2008 storm. Kate was a well known actress and voice-over talent. The circumstances of her drowning in her own home horrified us all. The situation that followed at the hospital with Charlene being turned away -these details did not become known until later. Our film followed that story.

LD Thompson, my partner, and I were filming a video for Equal Rights Washington. We met Charlene in preparation for their dinner.
We then filmed Gov. Gregoire’s signing ceremony and interviewed Charlene that day.
In our talks, it became clear that her story had an impact beyond our state. -
