About this event

You are invited to a screening of the 2024 film “Before Marriage” about the fight for gay and lesbian marriage. In the film, Diane Marino, one of the seven plaintiff couples who fought for same-sex couples' right to marry in the state of New Jersey, tells her tale of the struggle to legalize equal marriage. You also will hear from seven other couples about what they went through to get married.

Framing our discussion: Supreme Court Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion in the case that overturned Roe v. Wade: the Supreme Court “should reconsider” its past rulings codifying rights to contraception access, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage.

Chris McGuigan, a marriage officiant for the 25 years, will moderate the discussion.
