Sneak Peek: Vermont

One Year Ago: The Wedding Tour Begins

One year ago today, Stephen and Pat launched a cross-country "Wedding Tour," to celebrate 25 years together, and make a statement for marriage equality, by getting married in every state  that would let them. On December 4, 2010, they were married in a Vermont farm house. If you support their mission, please wish them a Happy Anniversary by commenting on this post. 

In the Family

Supporters of Married and Counting should go see the new, award-winning film, In the Family, playing a limited engagement at the Quad Cinema in New York. It is a powerful, beautiful story about civil rights and what constitutes a family. It has received rave reviews from the New York Times, Variety, and the Village Voice. It is only playing through Thursday, so see it while you can.

National Coming Out Month

October is National Coming Out Month, and this month we want your help to let the movie come out. We are on track to have a premiere in early 2012, but we need to build a fan base. Please help us reach our goal of 100 new Facebook likers this month, and at least 1 new Twitter follower this week.

This movie has been made possible by the generosity and enthusiasm of a supportive community. Please add your voice to the struggle for equality by becoming a fan and encouraging your friends to do so as well.

Thank you.

Help Us Finish the Movie

Our documentary is almost done, but we could use a little help to complete and promote it. Stephen and Pat have chosen to make public the most intimate moments of their lives to make a statement that all people should have equal rights. You can choose to be part of that statement. Please consider giving even a few dollars via IndieGoGo.

Within minutes of launching our fundraising campaign, we received our first contribution from Daniel Tamez. Daniel, we are grateful for your support.

Marriage Now Legal for Everyone in New York

As of June 24, 2011 New York is a marriage equality state. This movie suddenly has a new ending, as Pat and Stephen can finally get married in the state they call home.

Wedding Photos/Videos Needed

We need your wedding photos/videos for a sequence in the movie. We want both straight and gay couples of a variety of ages and ethnicities. If you have pictures or footage you'd like to contribute, please email us at marriedandcounting@gmail.com. If they are old photos of your parents or grandparents, that's even better. Thanks!
