While the passionate debate over the legitimacy of Marriage Equality in the United States rages on, the LGBT community continues to fight for their slice of the American dream. Powered by media, religion and influential anti-gay organizations comprised of strange bedfellows, the civil right of marriage continues to be held just out of reach for many LGBT citizens. The Right to Love: An American Family chronicles one story of courage born out of the highly mediatized and controversial Prop 8 2008 election results in California. A private Californian married gay couple and their two adopted children fight back against discrimination, ignorance and hate through home videos posted on their You Tube channel called "Gay Family Values". As they pursue their American Dream, the opposing political, social and religious opinions that pervade society attempts to strip it from them.

| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThis is a skillfully-made documentary with a point of view and a tender touch. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisComing upon opportunities for depth or nuance, Ms. Jaye seems unsure how to proceed. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeThe film is unlikely to bring about any debate since the likely audience for Jaye's film is already convinced. |
| User ReviewDavid RWe were deeply touched by this movie. The incredible love in the Leffew family can teach everyone about what really matters in life. Their courage is inspiring. The film had us laughing, in tears, and worried for our society. So many misconceptions and refusal to face facts about how gay people have the right to live as they choose. The director, Cassie Jaye, is someone who uses film to its highest purpose--to educate, inspire, and show the truth in all its dimensions. You will walk out of this film feeling that the humanity of people is always there to uplift us. |
