this film be about same sex marriage in massachusetts and but it really about everyone right and how government be suppose to protect and not deny and citizens right . most people outside of massachusetts ( and probably a good number inside as well ) do not have any idea how this whole issue of same sex marriage come about in the first place and so this film do a great job of show the time line of event and and how the court play a role and and the legislature play a role . it be really interesting to watch the legislator explain why they be vote either for or against and but even more interesting to see the whole process of how ordinary people can make a difference and work with the legislator and or oppose them . i learn a great deal from the film and i hope to see the day when the other 49 state will stop deny gay people the right to marry . civil union instead of marriage be like the old segregationist policy separate but equal and which the late thurgood marshall argue and if it separate and it not equal . likewise and if it call civil union and it not marriage . and that wrong .
