SCOTUS gay marriage ruling to get the Hollywood treatment
TWENTIETH Century Fox recently announced it has secured the rights to make a movie based on the US Supreme Court’s historic ruling that legalised same-sex marriage on June 26.
According to a report from the New York Times, Fox announced it bought the rights of the lead plaintiff Jim Obergefell and his lawyer Al Gerhardstein, whose lawsuit was what resulted in recognition of gay marriage across the US.
Fox also announced it would put movie producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen on the project, both known for their book-to-film adaptations of Life of Pi and The Devil Wears Prada.
The movie, set to come out in two years, will be a “transcendent love story about someone who goes to such a length for love that he ends up changing the world”, Godfrey explained in an interview with the New York Times.
The story will be based on Obergefell who is a real estate agent that married his longtime partner, John Arthur, in 2013 in the state of Maryland. When Arthur died, Ohio refused to list Obergefell as his spouse on the death certificate, so Obergefell sued.
I would love to get a copy of that movie, once it is made & screened!
I have a question: How can the Corporation Twentieth Century Fox, get the rights to this – when the movie that is untitled and has not even been made, let alone scripted yet? CRAZY!
The fight is FAR FROM OVER!
Outlawing LGBTI conversion therapy and implementing employment, housing, public accommodations discrimination laws and full gender recognition for LGBTI people – are next on the LGBTI to do list!
Lets ban marriages just for conservative bigoted moron cunts!
Here! Here!
4 Amendments:
[Let’s also pass a law that forces currently married conservative people to immediately divorce their wife (Cory Benardi, Tony Abbott, Barnaby Joyce, Fred Nile, Mike Bernard and both Shoppies Union and ACL members)!]
[Anyone that is married more than three times, is barred from getting married for the fourth time, clearly you fail at marriage]
[Anyone married must either have children or adopt within 1 year from the marriage, otherwise after one year after no procreation/adoption, there marriage is automatically annulled]
[Let’s outlaw divorce instead – as it is currently in both the Philippines and Vatican City]
[polygamy/bigamy, paedophilia, incest, domestic violence and bestiality – is all still outlawed and/or illegal, in case you have all forgotten]
