As part of P Town’s Summer of Love and Marriage, queerguru gets to talk to the leading gay activist Evan Wolfson known to many simply as ‘the marriage guy’. Wolfson is the founder and president of Freedom to Marry, a group that became a major driving force same-sex marriage in the United States. He is the visionary who started work on this matter of equality almost four decades ago, and now part of the story of how he successfully led the fight, is documented in a new film The Freedom to Marry by Eddie Rosenstein.
On the eve of the documentary’s digital launch on June 6th 2017, Wolfson talked about how the battle for same-sex marriage maybe over in the US, there are still too many countries around the globe where we still need to heed the fight, plus there is also the question of our community joining the struggle to seize our own country back.
The interview via Facebook was filmed by Roger Walker-Dack for “queerguru reports’ on PTV’s Channel 99.

Finally, Signature Move as our favorite lesbian movie of 2017 opens in Laemmle Theatres in LA and on streaming platforms globally on 2/9, we revisit our interview with its very hot star and co-writer Fawzia Mirza that we recorded last summer.
Jason Benjamin the director of Suited one of THE best docs of 2016 which told the story of Bindle & Keep tailors who specialize in custom made clothing for genderqueer people and the trans community, talked to queerguru about the movie and more. He was at #PIFF2017 as the guest speaker at the Evan Lawson Filmmakers Brunch to discuss a new project with Veterans Filmmaking Academy and their short film Returning.
B. Proud the photographer/writer is working on a new project following on from her phenomenally successful First Comes Love. That book and exhibit celebrates the lives and enduring relationships of LGBTQ couples across the U.S. who have been together for 10, 20, 30, 40, and even 50+ years. First Comes Love sought to change attitudes, open hearts, and propel the marriage equality movement simply by introducing and sharing the love stories of 65 real American long-term same-sex couples.
Now B. Proud is looking to devote the new as yet unnamed Project to trans couple to celebrate their lives and give them more visibility to encourage more acceptance and protection in society. She is planning a trip to Provincetown in 10 days and is very interested in hearing from any trans couples in the area, and from other part of the country too, who would like to participate in the Project. To hear more about the it, check out the interview below that B. Proud recorded with Roger Walker-Dack for queerguru reports on PTV’s Channel 99
