The Gay Marriage Thing Event
Saturday October 14, 2006 at The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning NY put on by SPECTRA
Hi Steff,
Just a quick note to let you know that SPECTRA's event was a huge success. We had a great turnout -- over 100 people attended, including about 40 Corning, Inc. employees. We've gotten lots of positive feedback.
The event started with a focus on Massachusetts, the one state in the US where marriage equality has been achieved. Our keynote speaker, Robyn Ochs, talked about the general topic of gay marriage, and then shared her personal story about getting married in Massachusetts. We then watched your film "The Gay Marriage Thing" about the story in Massachusetts. It was a big hit.
The focus of the event then shifted closer to home with our next speaker, Jason Hungerford, lead plaintiff of the "Ithaca 50," who talked about his personal experiences in pursuing marriage equality in New York state. Our final speaker, Desma Holcomb, Campaigns Director for the Empire State Pride Agenda, talked about the state of marriage equality in New York and provided information on the candidates running for election this November. The event ended with a Q&A session.
All in all a great event. Thanks for your help and support in making it happen.
Best,
Sue Schiefelbein

200 DVD's in 1 Day!!
Dear TGMT Listers,
Today, 200 DVD’s of THE GAY MARRIAGE THING were delivered to legislators at the Massachusetts State House. With 2 days left before the Massachusetts legislature reconvenes their Constitutional Convention and, once again, debates an amendment to ban gay marriage in the state, the TGMT team has done all it can to get THE GAY MARRIAGE THING seen by lawmakers.
If you are so inclined, please call your legislator and ask them to watch their copy of THE GAY MARRIAGE THING. They are extremely busy right now, but hopefully they can find 45 minutes to watch this film. Only 50 out of 200 votes are needed to begin the process of banning gay marriage in Massachusetts. This vote is critical.
REVEIEW ALERT!!
“Boston’s premiere magazine”, Boston Spirit, will run a review of THE GAY MARRIAGE THING in their December issue. We are very excited about being reviewed in this fabulously put together publication.
To read the review, register for a FREE subscription at www.BostonSpiritMagazine.com.
As always, thank you for your support!
Cheers,
Steff
