The Kiss
The Kiss is the story of Wilfred Funai, a quiet, unassuming office worker whose defence from the hostile treatment from co-workers is to hide inside a small, regimented world. One day, he witnesses an event where he will either remain isolated or respond to a crisis, perhaps even at risk to himself. Either choice will change his life forever.Philip Kan Gotanda 13 min. 1992 USA

Candlelight Vigil After the Passage of Proposition 8
The night after the passage of Proposition 8 was a heartfelt time in San Francisco. Despite the passage of Proposition 8, people remain hopeful that equality will prevail. The candlelight vigil held at San Francisco&aposs City Hall the night after Election Day was a mixture of emotions about the proposition&aposs passage. Regardless of how you feel about proposition 8 consider this. Until 1968 blacks could not get married to whites. Until 1968 Barack Obamas mother could never have married his father. Until 1968 discrimination was de facto. We have come so far and we cannot stop here. For me, Proposition 8 was always about love vs. hate, hope vs. fear. Who are we to say that two people who love each other cannot enjoy the same recognition as everyone else? What is it to us? Why do we care so much? Are we that miserable, spiteful and bitter that we cannot bear to think of other people being happier than us? I do not understand how any moral, conscionable human being could have walked into that voting booth on November 4th and crossed the arrow next to the words eliminates the right. I thought we were better than that, as a country and as a human race. In a time of such uncertainty we cannot afford to eliminate the fundamental rights of anyone we have fought too hard for too long on too many fronts to let the gains of democracy slip. This is a civil rights issue and it is not going away. http://jointheimpact.com/
