Lucy Lawless and Eva Tamargo Star in Gay Marriage PSA

Actors Lucy Lawless and Eva Tamargo are featured in an English and Spanish-language public service announcement (PSA) that was launched on the internet in support of gay marriage. The ad campaign is sponsored by California Equality NOW, an advocacy group comprised of independent filmmakers, to promote equal marriage rights. The PSA's are currently airing on websites such as Youtube.com and Myspace.com. The Difference has been in the "Top Plays" category on myspace.com since its release.  In May of 2008, the California Supreme Court held that same-sex couples have the fundamental right to marry as other Californians. Unfortunately, Proposition 8, a measure on the November 2008 ballot, amended the state's constitution to define marriage between one man and one woman. No other ballot initiative has ever changed the California Constitution to remove rights from a targeted minority group. Jennifer Medvin, Writer/Producer of The Difference, states that the script was inspired by questions she continually receives on a daily basis. "I think the many differences between marriage and domestic partnership should have been addressed before the vote last year, but at least we can inform people now," states Medvin. "We just have to move forward and support the organizations that continue the fight for our community." Full Story from eMediaWire - Click Here
