Love won – and the path to our triumphant victory stretched back years and miles. It was paved by the efforts, talents, and engagement of millions of people. It required a dream, hard work – and a plan. And it succeeded through a national conversation among all Americans about who LGBT people are and why marriage matters.
These days especially, as we share our grief and celebrate the lives of the 49 victims of the Orlando shooting, we again see the power of stories to touch hearts and inspire action. Sparking conversation and turning support into political and legal change were the core of our strategy to win the freedom to marry – and we know from the marriage victory that change can happen, even against all odds.
Now you can get an inside look at the movement that transformed a nation and the law. Award-winning filmmaker Eddie Rosenstein has just finished a powerful feature documentary that truly captures the riveting story of how we won. Rosenstein's The Freedom to Marry is a “War Room” style film that provides an emotional, behind-the-scenes view of the campaign and strategy that ended marriage discrimination nationwide.
