On Tuesday, October 28 at 7:30 PM at Tom Sheaffer’s house he will be showing the second film in a mini-series of gay films, Bridegroom.
BRIDEGROOM is a documentary directed by Linda Bloodworth-Thomason that tells the emotional journey of Shane Crone and Tom Bridegroom, two young men in a loving and committed relationship that was cut short when Tom was killed in a tragic accident. The story of what happened after this accidental death – of how people without the legal protections of marriage can find themselves completely shut out and ostracized– is poignant, enraging and opens a window onto the issue of marriage equality like no speech or lecture ever will.
On May 7, 2012, the anniversary of Tom’s death, after a year of documenting his own grief, Shane decided to make a video tribute to his partner entitled “It Could Happen To You.” This film, posted on YouTube, received over 3.4 million views and has been translated into over 20 different languages.
There will be soft drinks. Feel free to bring light snacks to share.
PLEASE DO NOT PARK ON THE NEIGHBORS’ LAWNS. THANK YOU.
