A Blinding Flash of the Obvious
A Blinding Flash of the Obvious is a dynamic documentary that tells the
compelling story of the 2004 Cincinnati, OH campaign: Citizens to
Restore Fairness. This was the local campaign that helped repeal
Cincinnati 's 11-year-old anti-gay law that explicitly discriminated
against gay, lesbian and bisexual citizens. The film is part of People
For the American Way Foundation's newly launched Focus on Fairness
Toolkit. Gripped by the heart and passion of business, civic and
religious leaders, you will see how a small group of dedicated
individuals led a community to victory.

We felt this film had to be made and the Cincinnati story shared for
three reasons:
1. It was the only pro-gay rights initiative that passed anywhere
in the country in 2004.
2. It took place in Cincinnati , one of the five most conservative
regions in the country.
3. While the citizens of Cincinnati were undoing over a decade of
discrimination against the LGBT community, they also voted against the
Ohio same-sex marriage ban that passed statewide.
Join James Hormel and Geoffrey Kors at 5:45 p.m. for a reception
preceding the screening at 6:15 p.m. Following the film, there will be
an interactive panel discussion featuring some of today's leading voices
in the struggle for LGBT equality. Together, help us Focus on Fairness
in California.
Free and open to the public
