Limited Partnership screening

2015-Jun-01 @ 19:00 - 20:14

At 7 p.m., the Little will screen Limited Partnership (Thomas G. Miller, U.S. / Australia 2014, 74 min.) followed by a discussion with director Thomas G. Miller, and Linda Moroney.

Filipino American Richard Adams and Australian Tony Sullivan met in 1971 in Los Angeles and quickly fell in love. In April 1975, thanks to a courageous county clerk in Boulder, CO, they became one of the first same-sex couples in the world to be legally married. Richard immediately filed for a green card for Tony based on their marriage. But unlike most heterosexual married couples who easily file petitions and obtain green cards, Richard received a denial letter from the Immigration and Naturalization Service stating, "You have failed to establish that a bona fide marital relationship can exist between two faggots."
