Liberty Education Forum used Valentine’s Day 2012 as an opportunity to announce it will be the National Promotional Partner of “The Right to Love: An American Family,” an inspiring and insightful look at the passage of Proposition 8 in California as told through the lives and experiences of a gay couple directly affected by the controversial referendum.
“The message of ‘The Right to Love’ is so simple yet so necessary: gay families deserve equal rights—and this documentary makes that case in a very personal, very real way,” said Liberty Education Forum Executive Director Gregory T. Angelo. “It’s a message that will resonate and find an audience across the country, and Liberty Education Forum is proud to be the National Promotional Partner of the film to ensure it’s seen not only by those sympathetic to marriage equality, but those who might be ambivalent or undecided about it as well.”
“The Right to Love: An American Family” chronicles one story of courage born out of the highly publicized and controversial Proposition 8 election results in California in 2008. In the documentary, a Californian married gay couple (Jay Foxworthy and Bryan Leffew) and their two adopted children fight back against discrimination and ignorance through home videos posted on their YouTube channel, “Gay Family Values.” As they pursue their American Dream, the opposing political, social and religious opinions that pervade society attempt to strip it from them.
“I’m incredibly pleased to work with Liberty Education Forum as a National Promotional Partner,” stated Cassie Jaye, Director of “The Right to Love.” “Their focus on bringing a message of gay acceptance to conservatives and people of faith is directly in line with the audiences we want to see this film. ‘The Right to Love’ isn’t just a touching documentary about a gay family—it can be a tool that can educate and have a real impact on the dialogue about equality that is going on throughout the United States right now.”
