“Is Gay Marriage Next?” is a short documentary where queer history meets the present.
In July 2003, a pivotal moment in queer history was captured on a Newsweek cover asking: Is Gay Marriage Next? The lesbian couple featured ignited a spark in a young, closeted woman who, two decades later, searches for the women who gave her hope. Now in a post-Roe world, the question resurfaces with a haunting twist: is gay marriage next—to go?
