个案子是让OBAMA决定不为DOMA辩护大原因之一。
Forty-two years of romance, struggle and shared adventures finally culminate
in marriage for lifelong lesbian couple Edie and Thea, who met in the 1960s
and stayed together through the turbulent decades of activism and social
change that followed. Looking at pictures from their past, the women marvel
at simple triumphs -- buying their first house together -- and reminisce
about the constant fear of exposure they once felt. | g********d

By M. Brough "marybfrito" (Ohio, United States) -
This inspirational documentary from 2009 transcends cynical observations of
what love, marriage and commitment is. Here are two adorable and loving
people who shared their lives together joyfully and passionately, but their
partnership was not considered legal according to the U.S. Government.
Ironically, the Canadian government provides the high note to this story.
Edie and Thea were married in Toronto legally.
From another perspective, for those who believe marriage is solely for
heterosexuals watch out! After viewing this story, you WILL believe marriage
should be for EVERYONE who wants to be married.
EQUALITY under the law is everyone's right according to the Constitution of
the United States and not just in Canada. | g********d

By Barbara Jackson "MadTaz" (Pawnee City, NE USA)
After seeing this film one cannot help but experience frustration with the
stupid "Defense of Marriage" act. Until we recognize that we are all human
beings with the same hopes, dreams and expectations for life and love this
country will suffer shame. The fact that a significant portion of the
population lives without right basic right or in fear is not acceptable.
Without preaching and with love and hope this film gets that message across. |
