Marriage Equality: Byron Rushing and the Fight for Fairness

A documentary project about Same Sex marriage from an African American perspective, the film focuses on Massachusetts State Representative and Civil Rights Movement veteran Byron Rushing, who together with a group of progressive Black clergy and activists, took the campaign for same sex marriage into the Black community, confronting the hostility of the church and defining the right of same sex marriage as a civil rights issue on par with the campaigns of the 1960s. Rushing, who is straight, is perhaps an unlikely gay hero.
