When voters in California passed proposition 8 in 2008, queers around the world were stunned.
In one of the most liberal pockets of the United States, voters had chosen to strip the rights of gays and lesbian who wanted to get married — including many that had already been married when marriage equality came to California months before Prop 8 was enacted. The HBO documentary “The Case Against 8″ takes an intimate look at the fight to overturn this legislation and the lawsuit that challenged its constitutionality.
Now, on January 13, “The Case Against 8″ will be available on DVD. Check out the clip above to hear from some of the gay and lesbian couples who were engaged in this fight to overturn Proposition 8.
