Upcoming Movies/Discussions:
May 22 - Elephant in the Room
Discover the challenges and conflict experienced by gays and lesbians in the Republican Party in this eye-opening documentary. Focusing on three individuals, the program reveals the difficulty of being openly gay in a political party that traditionally takes a dim view of the gay lifestyle. Each of them finds their own way to balance party loyalty with personal fulfillment.
June 26 - The Laramie Project
An all-star cast delivers a compelling performance based on a theatrical portrayal of reactions to the Matthew Shepard story, a 1998 murder that took place in Laramie, Wyo., and became a lightning rod for rallies against homophobia and hate crimes. Moisés Kaufman writes and directs, based on his own stage play.
July 24 - Normal
Roy, a small-town Illinois man, wildly declares after blacking out on his 25th wedding anniversary that he's convinced he's a woman trapped inside a man's body. It's up to Roy's shell-shocked wife, Irma, his kids and the entire community to come to terms with this stunning revelation. It won't be easy. Based on a hit play by Jane Anderson.
August 28 - Latter Days
This controversial film explores the consequences of a young Mormon missionary, Aaron, recognizing his homosexuality and falling in love with another man. Aaron's first sexual encounter with a gay "party boy" leads to a passionate romance that gets Aaron excommunicated from his church and risks destroying both their lives. Latter Days offers a mix of romantic comedy and powerful drama.
September 25 - Freeheld
Detective Lieutenant Laurel Hester spent 25 years investigating tough cases in Ocean County, New Jersey, protecting the rights of victims and putting her life on the line. She had no reason to expect that in the last year of her life, after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, that her final battle for justice would be for the woman she loved.
October 23 - I Exist
Winner of the New York Lesbian and Gay Film Festival's Best Documentary award, this groundbreaking film gives a voice to gay and lesbian Middle Easterners who live in the United States. Interviews with a variety of gay Middle Eastern men and women and their family members reveal the negative stereotypes the group faces in regard to sexual orientation, race and cultural belief systems.
November 27 - Mambo Italiano
When Angelo announces he's moving out, his old-fashioned, Italian-immigrant parents, Maria and Gino nearly have a fit. After all, dutiful sons are supposed to stay home until they're married. But when they discover he's rooming with his buddy Nino, they settle down. That is, until they discover the two are actually a couple, a scandal that brings "agita" to everyone in the family.
