Wednesday, October 20, 5:30pm In TYING THE KNOT, documentarian Jim de Seve focuses
on personal stories to show why the recognition of legal gay marriage
matters. When a bank robber’s bullet ends the life of Florida
cop Lois Marrero, her wife of thirteen years—Mickie, also
a cop—discovers a police department willing to accept the
women’s relationship, but unwilling to release Lois’s
pension. When Sam, an Oklahoma rancher, loses his husband of 25
years, cousins who hardly knew the deceased man challenge the will
and move to evict Sam from the house the couple built together.
A New York City police officer and a worker at the Pentagon are
faced with devastating loss and indignity after the deaths of their
partners on September 11th. Against the backdrop of the history
and the evolution of marriage, this extremely effective documentary
is sure to become a rallying point for supporters of marriage equality. Harvard Exit Theatre |
