From finding a loving haven for heads and hearts, to a young woman fighting for independence, to novice fairy godmothers and magical musical mash-ups, these stirring films show the true value of dreams and devotion.

Q&A with Filmmakers.

Join our Panel Discussion about the ways that people of color say "I Do" and "I Don't" to same-sex marriage. LGBTQ rights cannot be divorced from racial justice, but that was precisely the goal of Prop 8 proponents, who used racism to promote homophobia. The aftermath of that bitter battle was the consummation of a singular focus on legislation that pit potential allies against one another. Yet for LGBTQ people of color living at the intersections, these debates are about more than traditions and institutions. They are about which kinds of relationships, families, and love deserve recognition. This intergenerational panel envisions the ways that LGBTQ people of color advocate for social justice and our human rights beyond simple legislation, through an affirmation of our families, cultures, ethnicities, and histories.

From the family values of queer API women raising children, to decades-long love affairs, to good ole shotgun weddings, these films show that jumping the broom and getting hitched are about more than just bells, petals, prayers and ceremony.

Q&A with Filmmakers.

From quirky twists on teenage angst, to the love mothers have for their transgender children, these documentaries from Chile and Colombia show that our spirits can't be contained. After the screening, join QWOCMAP and Bogotá-based sister organization Mujeres al Borde, for a conversation on LesBiTrans Feminism in Latin America.
