This uplifting and poignant documentary, being shown in film festivals around the world, highlights a momentous, historical milestone when San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom engaged in ground-breaking civil disobedience as he allowed same-sex couples to marry at San Francisco City Hall.

"With rousing speeches from beloved comic Margaret Cho, Assembly Member Mark Leno, Marriage Equality leaders Molly McKay and Dr. Davina Kotulski, and interviews with seven long-term, recently married couples, FREEDOM TO MARRY brings a joyful, personal face to same-sex marriage at the height of this burgeoning civil rights movement."

  • wiskawind: Same-sex couples are wanting the 1,138 right, benefits, and protections that come with legal marriage and which only the FEDERAL (not state) government can provide. Many couples want the word "marriage" because any other term suggests inequality - a less-than status. Thanks for your insightful comment!

  • With world population EXPLODING what we need on this overloaded planet are conscious people who are willing to adopt and take care of the children that have no home or family which many same-sex couples do. Same-sex couples deserve federal recognition and the 1,148 rights, benefits and protections that come with legal marriage.

  • zdnetjunk: Who said marriage is about having children? Marriage is about FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, DEVOTION, COMPANIONSHIP! Childen are optional for all marriages. Not all heterosexual married couples have children - should their marriage be annulled?

  • zdnetjunk: Your use of the term "non-equal" is quite telling. With 6.5 billion people on the planet (double the population in 1960) creating MORE people is not a solution to so many of our world's problems such as global warming, dwindling resources, clean air and water... Your argument is from the stone-age!

  • zdnetjunk: O.K., if marriage is just for procreation then every heterosexual who is impotent, infertile, or elderly should be banned from marriage! How does allowing same-sex couples to marry discourage heterosexuals from continuing to procreate? Marriage is about love, mutual support, and commitment - something we ALL need access to.

  • Heterosexuals marry all the time OUTSIDE of the church. Couples go to their local City Hall to be wed outside of the church. The church doesn't OWN the word marriage. Marriage is not necessarily a religious institution - only if the couple chooses for it to be and marries within the church. There are many different ways couples marry and for a variety of reasons.

  • Hi, Secretia Collins here from SecretiaTV... come see real-life ugly lesbians and hot TV ones with me, Secretia Collins, in my booth at the Marriage Equality Fair in West Hollywood, CA, on August 23, 1-5pm PST, across from the Design Center on San Vicente Blvd. Come get your marriage on with me, Secretia Collins from SecretiaTV!

  • Two legal aged adults either if they are straight, gay, bi, or transsexual who genuinly love each other should always have right to marry... it should be universal equality!

  • People are obviously fighting for the most ridiculous shit... create your own religion if thou wants to marry the same sex. you dont show up at the No Hats club wearing a hat, you start your own hat club.

  • Why aren't real lesbians hot like the ones on TV sitcoms?

  • they said that gay marriage is allowed in 2 states. I WILL NEVER MARRY A WOMAN, It's man and woman. Not man and man or woman to woman that is nasty. YOU ARE NOT BORN GAY OR LESIBIAN.

  • So...then what are 2 people that get married in Vegas by an Elvis Impersonator? City Hall and Justice of the peace? Marriage is NOT owned by religious dogma....you can get married without any mention of GOD!
