Today is the kick-off of the 11th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival which will run through May 3rd. The 2008 Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival suffered as festival membership dropped 15 percent as a result of disillusioned fans who attended the 2007 festival which featured more experimental and dark programming.
Organizers of the 11th annual Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival promises that this year will be much more different. The 10 day festival will feature 67 films from 17 different countries. The films will be more mainstream gay comedies and dramas created with a “queer perspective.” Thirteen of the films target lesbians while seven are in Spanish or Latin-based. Check out the venues and schedule on the website. Tickets are $11 and $7 for members. You may purchase tickets at www.MGLFF.com. For more information, call 305-534-9924.

David Paterson, Governor of New York, will introduce legislation this week to legalize same-sex marriage. Paterson’s take on the issue is that it is clearly wrong and unjust to deny gays and lesbians in civil unions up to 1,350 civil protections including healthcare and pension rights just because they are not married.
Paterson believes that the ethical action to be taken regarding the issue correlates with the political action that should be applied to the situation. Distributing equal rights to all people is the “only ethical way to treat people who want to live together in peace under the civil law.”
