Plot summary

Church & State is the improbable story of a brash, inexperienced gay activist and a tiny Salt Lake City law firm that joined forces to topple Utah’s gay marriage ban. The film’s ride on the bumpy road to equality in Utah offers a glimpse at the Mormon church’s influence in state politics and the squabbles inside the gay community that nearly derailed a chance to make history. Church & State is a story of triumph, setback and a little-known lawsuit that should have failed, but instead paved the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized gay unions nationwide.

This movie had interesting subject matter and was

This movie had interesting subject matter and was very well done. The battle between state and federal government is always intriguing for us Americans. I grew up Mormon and lived in Utah and they were very fair and accurate in their depiction of "The Church" (as it is known there). Highlights include clips of their "prophets" making statements on homosexuality and my personal favorite was when one of them tacitly condones violence against homosexuals when recounting his own violent reaction to a homosexual advance by grinning and saying he wasn't sorry. But aside from having to watch all the haters spout hate it's a really good movie. The lawyers who take on the case are heroes and I got very emotional watching all the happy gay people get married in spite of all the adversity in a place like Utah. I highly recommend to everyone interested in humanity and if you are an ex-mormon like me, it's an absolute must see!
