Why is it that a woman is so often assumed “straight” and is confirmed to be a lesbian only when she “comes out”? The lesbians in this documentary each have a unique story of when they “knew”, how they were outed, and what it was like. For any woman who is wondering if she is a lesbian, these first hand stories could provide encouragement to live the truth.

Spousal relationships: when successful, they can bring the highest of contentment and delight; when they turn doubtful, they can bring the lowest of dejection. Alana and Louise built a strong and happy relationship together. Wonderfully compatible, they enjoyed each others’ company, and their union thrived effortlessly. As their bond developed, they bought shared real estate, commitment rings, and made plans for a future as a couple. In July 2006 - after 5 years together - the partnership falls apart. Suddenly facing their lives separately, they must confront their new situation with its many difficulties. This documentary is told through Alana and Louise as they explain why the relationship broke down. They convey their feelings and experiences on coping with depression, confusion and finding the road back to confidence. It follows the through their pain and uncertainty; and concludes with their individual outcomes one year on.
What’s
life like for a teenage lesbian? And life for a lesbian in her twenties?
One in her thirties?
Interesting
realisation: a lesbian in her 20’s was born in the 80’s, and a lesbian
in her 80’s was born in the 20’s – two vastly different eras.
Love vs. the Law is a
film about how Australian law views gay marriages, how Australians
view gay marriages, and gay couples’ responses to these views.
When heterosexuals marry, their union is acknowledged by giving them
certain rights. These rights include access to each others’
superannuation, next of kin acknowledgement, power of attorney,
child custody and adoption, and execution of wills.
In Australia,
homosexual unions cannot be registered with the Office of
Births, Deaths and Marriages. Marriage is a federal issue and is
regulated by the Commonwealth Marriage Act 1961.
Lobbyists in Australia perceive this as inequality, and
correspondence to parliament is lively. As a benchmark, same sex
marriages are legal Amsterdam, Belgium and Canada.
The thesis behind making this film is that every individual is
entitled to share their life with the person of their choice, and
enjoy married life.
As history has shown, dictionaries, languages, lifestyles and
technology evolve to suit the needs of a changing world. Laws do
too.
