À propos de ce film

The State of Marriage is the epic story of how legal legend Mary Bonauto partnered with small-town Vermont lawyers Beth Robinson and Susan Murray in a 2-decade struggle that built the foundation for the entire marriage equality movement. From winning groundbreaking LGBT legal recognition for same sex couples in 2000, to becoming the first state to enact same sex marriage through a dramatic legislative vote in 2009, the film shows in a very personal way how, as HRC national field director Marty Rouse says, “Beth, Susan and Mary really changed the course of American history.”

Notes et avis

Very well done. As religion continues to lose influence and power in the US we can expect more hateful rhetoric from the Christian right in the throes of its death.

Government should not be able to redefine a biblical word. Governent did not create marriage. This country is headed down a dark path. Prophecy is right on track.

This movie is a must see! Every hard won inch of progress that was made by these incredible women broke new ground for all that would come after. Jeff Kaufman brilliantly shows how just a small group of people can make a difference in this country. These are the kind of people we need to lead us!
