8: THE MORMON PROPOSITION - OUTTAKES FILM SERIES THURSDAY AUGUST 5TH
Columbus premiere! One screening only!
Thursday, August 5 at 8pm.
Presented as part of OUTTakes, a monthly screening partnership between Gateway Film Center and Stonewall Columbus.
Director Reed Cowan initially planned on making a documentary about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah but soon realized that the homophobia that prompts otherwise loving parents to kick teenagers out of their homes is deep-seated in current Mormon ideology. Cowan, with his fellow filmmakers, experienced first-hand what it was like to grow up gay in Utah in the Mormon faith, then turned their attention to the historic campaign by the Mormon Church to pass Proposition 8 in California believing that it was the cornerstone of an ideology that has worked for decades "to damage gay people and their causes." The film is their emotional outcry to what they found.

Gateway Film Center is located at 1550 N. High Street in South Campus Gateway. For more information, call 614.545.2255 or visit www.gatewayfilmcenter.com.

VANDALS TEAR DOWN OHIO’S FIRST GAY HISTORIC MARKER
Police are searching for vandals who tore down the only Ohio historical marker for a gay or lesbian person.
The marker recognizing Natalie Barney was knocked down in Cooper Park some time before Wednesday, July 7, said John Gantt, executive director of the Greater Dayton LGBT Center. The park is next to the downtown Dayton Metro Library.
"A friend noticed it had been torn down and told me about it," Gantt said. "I called police and they came and took a report."
Barney was a literary patron and lesbian author who was born in Dayton in 1876, but lived most of her life in Paris.
