In lieu of Arkansas' Eureka Springs recent marriage registry and the sound defeat of the 2004 marriage amendment comes, Pursuit of Equality an emotionally charged film that puts a face on American citizens who strive for marriage equality.
From the first frame of the film, even before the press is aware, a film crew is with San Francisco's Mayor Gavin Newsom’s senior staff as the nation’s first same-sex couple exchange their vows and ignite the most controversial civil rights topic in recent history.
The story continues on the streets, in the courtrooms, and on the steps of City Hall, where same-sex couples clash with church groups who declare that who they are and how they love is a sin.
The film focuses on the compelling, human rights struggles surrounding same-sex marriage and captures the elation and despair of couples and families who are fighting for equal rights.
As the only film crew in the Mayors Chambers during the most crucial of times, this extraordinary film provides a telling ‘fly-on-the wall’ view as this historic event unfolds. This movie will be debuting nationally in various locales from Philadelphia to Los Angeles, at post time no such luck in the Arkansas area. However, if you are like myself and enjoy home viewing it's available on DVD. Here's the link: http://www.pursuitofequality.com/

FPride Action: Somewhere in this city they are circiling the waggons against the upcoming Adoption Ban, however, only "they" know when or where. But I was suprised to find an action alert posted within the Federation of International Pride website and a treasure trove of other worthwhile info. The Action Center allows users to directly FAX Arkansas' Attorney General, Dustin McDaniel (pictured) with your concerns about the issue. Did they have to have a series of meeting to come up with this simple process? I think not. It was a direct action tactic that probably most Arkansans don't even know about until now. But since you heard it here first, then get busy at their site with this addy: www.fpride.org/takeaction_mcdaniel.aspx
