Tietoja tästä elokuvasta

On May 7th, 2011, a young man named Shane Bitney Crone tragically lost the love of his life, Tom, to an accident. Because they weren't married or prepared for the unexpected, Shane lost all legal claims to Tom after he died. Tom's family banned Shane from the funeral and he was unable to say goodbye. On May 7th, 2012 Shane posted a video on YouTube, entitled "It Could Happen to You." He created it to honor his partner and show the world what can happen when two people are legally barred from having equal rights and equal protections under the law to marry. Shane's partner was named Tom Bridegroom. The video went viral, passing two million views within seven days.

Shane, thank you again for sharing this part of your life with the rest of the world. Meeting you and interacting with you after the screening really drove home that this wasn't just another story about some strangers in a documentary. This is a story about about real people, true friends, and true love. It's made me appreciate the people I have in my life that much more, especially my wife, without her I'd be lost. Please let us know of any new developments, we're still praying for you. ;)

What a touching story about love, loss, friendship and family. It doesn't really matter what your stance is. This is about love and acceptance and if you can't handle that, start with tolerance while you educate yourself on what love really looks like.

All the bigots should watch stories like this. Why stand in the way of two consenting adults who love each other, want to build a life together & aren't hurting anyone. I dont understand hate, esp when you use religion as your excuse (no different than jihadists logic)
