PREVIEW: 'Legalize Gay: The Civil Rights Movement of a Generation'

Am looking forward to seeing "Legalize Gay: The Civil Rights Movement of a Generation," a new documentary by Christopher Hines about the new breed leading the campaign for LGBT equality. With appearances by Hudson Taylor, the college wrestler turned LGBT advocate, Daniel Hernandez, who gained notoriety when he aided Rep. Gabbie Giffords after she was shot in Tucson, Claire Buffie, aka Miss New York, the first contestant in Miss America’s history to make LGBT equality her platform, my pal Brian Sims, the first openly gay college football captain who is now looking to make history again in his bid for a seat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, Ben Cohen, the rugby star turned LGBT advocate and founder of the StandUp Foundation, and many others, "Legalize Gay" looks like a must-see for all. The film is slated to premiere on Logo next year, but the director has joined with the organization Campus Pride for exclusive advanced screenings, accompanied by an educational guide to encourage activism in the campaign for LGBT equality. Check out the trailer below -- and for details about screening the film at your school, click HERE.
