I would like to preface this with: I've not seen the film.
I've read a bit about it, I watched the trailers, and seen a few things talking about it.
I can't say I was surprised to learn that a church of any sort was behind the money and movement towards squashing an equal rights act, I really can't. Although, it is sort of ironic that a church that had enfranchised women prior to their enfranchisement in the entirety of the US, would so against the personal freedom of every person in this country.
For every movement that has swept the nation, there has been opposition. There were even groups of women opposing the enfranchisement of women during Suffrage.
But I believe, as happened then for women, that if good people come together and fight for it, we can give every person in this country equal rights.
I believe it will happen. No amount of war-mongering or name calling or smoke-screening can prevent the truth from seeing the light of day. And the truth is, no matter what your sexual orientation, gay or straight, you have the right to love and marry who you choose.
I'm sure lots of people have said very stirring things in regards to equal rights, but I've just got this.
No child was born to hate, and we shouldn't teach them to.
