The battle is won, but the war continues… yesterday’s ruling that California’s gay marriage ban, Proposition 8, is unconstitutional is a welcome milestone and a paean to rational thinking, but away from the courts there is still much to change and, as always, it will come down to passionate and dedicated individuals.

A film in the works titled Inspired: The Voices Against Prop 8 tells the stories behind the recent resurgence of the gay rights movement in California, spurred into action by the incredible inequality and homophobia of Proposition 8. These are people who had never held a banner in their life, but were so incensed by the voting through of this vindictive law that it became a call to action, and their actions have now been rewarded.

Inspired: The Voices Against Prop 8 is also asking for support to bring these stories to the screen: the film has finished shooting and now director Charlie Gage and producer Ian McIntosh need to raise $5000 to complete editing on the feature length documentary. They’re already a quarter of the way there and are offering various goodies depending on the size your donation.
