Love is Worth It - A Short Film About Prop 8

edingerot
On May 26th, 2009, in a 6-1 ruling, the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8 as constitutional. While the immediate reaction was one of anger and defeat, the passionate words of a few, during the protest that followed, inspired a crowd of thousands to continue the fight for equality.

Appearing in this short documentary are Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Lt. Dan Choi, Drew Barrymore, George Takei and Brad Altman.

    • Wonderfully done. Great quality film, amazing access. Editing nicely! The cut aways to the crowd - like the kids on the shoulders made it for me. Bravo. Thank you for being there and bringing this to us.

    • "When a bare majority can strip away a fundamental right - yet it takes a two-thirds vote to pass a budget - then our system is fundamentally broken."

    • Beautiful video. Whenever I see something like that where people just want to be able to live their lives the way they want to, it sickens me to think of how so many people still think homosexuals should still be second class citizens. I have yet to hear a good argument against same-sex marriage. But seeing people still ready to fight for their rights and happiness makes me feel hope that equality will prevail.

    • I couldn't imagine being able to deny so many people so much happiness. In the future people are going to look back at this struggle and see how asinine it really was.
      All we need is love.
