A documentary worth watching if you haven’t already.

I found a link to the full length film at http://www.veoh.com/watch/v18496223THBFsstz but you have to install the Veoh browser plug in. If you have Netflix, it’s there as well. Just saying.

The following is what I copy/pasted from the documentary’s YouTube site.

Old trailer version for the film For The Bible Tells Me So, a provocative documentary that reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture. Through the experiences of five families, we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. http://www.forthebibletellsmeso.org

Edie Windsor and ACLU Challenge Defense of Marriage Act (via acluvideos)

Edith “Edie” Windsor, who shared her life with her late spouse, Thea Spyer, for 44 years, files a lawsuit against the federal government for refusing to recognize their marriage. The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA), a federal statute that defines marriage for all federal purposes as a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife. Windsor and Spyer were married in Canada in 2007, and were considered married by their home state of New York.

“The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God. I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do to their fellows, because it always coincides with their own desires.” - Susan B. Anthony, in a defense of Elizabeth Cady Stanton against a motion to repudiate her Woman’s Bible at a meeting of the National-American Woman Suffrage Association 1896 Convention, HWS, IV (1902), p. 263
