Gay Marriage Film Set for June 23

Written by  Fenceviewer Staff Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 10:20 am

ELLSWORTH — The Grand presents an LGBT film festival preview with a screening of the documentary “Question One” on Saturday, June 23, at 7 p.m.

On May 6, 2009, Maine became the first state in the country to legislatively grant same-sex couples the right to marry.

Seven months later, on Nov. 3, 2009, Maine, thru a referendum election, reversed, becoming the 31st state in this country to say “no” to gay and lesbian marriage.

“Question One,” a new documentary by award-winning filmmakers Joe Fox and James Nubile, chronicles the fierce and emotional battle that took place in Maine during that time, as well as the behind the scenes workings on both sides of the campaign.

Admission is $7 for general admission, $6 for seniors and $5 for Grand members.

The LGBT film festival is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Oct. 21.

For more information, call 667-9500.
