[Hamp-law] Film on legal invisibility of same-sex spouses

[Flavio Risech]

Jim de Seve on Tying the (Same Sex) Knot: Oct 17 @ 5pm ELH

Acclaimed filmmaker and activist Jim de Seve screens and discusses 
his award-winning, powerful documentary on the costs of exclusion 
from legal marriage, Tying the Knot: The Union That's Dividing 
America.

Less an argument for same-sex marriage than a graphic depiction of 
the costs of not being allowed access to it, the film offers gripping 
and at times emotionally wrenching testimony about what happens to 
long term partners when one dies and the other is a non-person in the 
eyes of the law.

Join LBGTQ Staff, faculty and students for stimulating conversation 
and a screening of this important film. Refreshments will be served.

This event is on Tuesday, October 17th, 2006.
It is held at : Franklin Patterson East Lecture Hall
This event starts at 5:00pm.

This event is organized by : Office of Multicultural Education, Law 
Program and the Queer Community Alliance
