12/10/12 15 hours to go!
Monday, December 10, 2012 at 9:37AM Thanks so much to our Supporters - we’ve come such a long way! Just 15 hours left and we are still trying to raise $14,925 to reach our new goal of $50,000. Do you know anyone who can afford to donate $25? The perk at this level is a digital download copy of the finished film. If we can get 600 people to sign on at this level by 11:59 PM PST, we will surpass our second goal!
Richard and Tony’s story is powerful and will continue to inspire others in the years to come. First, it will bring closure to Richard and Tony and help them leave a legacy of their 43-year struggle for marriage equality. Second, it will enlighten a new generation of LGBT and ally activists on the fight for LGBT marriage and immigration rights. Lastly, this film will help educate a broader community of citizens on the need for LGBT marriage and immigration reform. In this spirit, we wanted to share with you some of the comments we’ve been getting over the last several weeks of our campaign.

I am an American Gay man who had to move to London to be with my husband. We have 3 children in the USA that we have not seen in 7 years as we cannot afford to go home. We were tore away from our family in the USA by this sick law. We are hoping to go home one day where we can be together with our children again. The heartache is just like dying. Please help this film get made, it can help us all! Thank you for making this film!

I am ashamed that this could happen in our so call free country. It is heartless!

I’ve known Tony and Richard since the 80’s and also when Tony was deported. They have suffered so much for their beliefs. I hope this film changes the publics feelings towards dedicated same sex marriages.

@LPTheMovie Thank you for telling Richard & Tony's story! Reading about them, about 2 years ago, made a huge difference in my life.
