Allout.org


This video by Allout.org, a website formed in 2010 by two gay rights activism groups, shows the reactions of the people gathered at the Stonewall Inn awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. The gathering was organised by United for Marriage Coalition and was either going to be a celebration or a protest of the Supreme court ruling in June 2013. The ruling came down in favour of gay marriage and this video has people expressing their joy about the ruling and how it has and will affect them. The issues raised in the video are generally about what the decision means for the direction of gay rights activism in America, such as employment, youth issues, transgender rights and poverty and the realisation that the work has not been completed.
