Funding the Marriage WarDuring its 16 years on national public television, IN THE LIFE has returned often to the controversial subject of marriage for same-sex couples in the United States. IN THE LIFE was there in Hawaii and Vermont for the legislative battles over civil unions, and in Massachusetts in 2004 when gay and lesbian couples first received marriage equality. For its 17th Season Premiere, IN THE LIFE again leads the way with the "Marriage Story". In California, the stakes have never been higher as a constitutional referendum to end marriage equality is placed before the voters. |
