LGBT videos: Expedia dad; Lee Daniels ‘Paperboy;’ ‘Same Love’ music; Reason says immigration ‘discriminates’

Expedia follows a father’s trip to his lesbian daughter’s wedding: ”Every trip is unique. On this trip, Artie Goldstein travels across the country to attend his daughter’s same-sex wedding, a journey that will test him, challenge him, and ultimately change him in unexpected ways.”

Gay and black filmmaker Lee Daniels talks to Xtra! about his new film, The Paperboy, starring Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron.

”Same Love” feat. Mary Lambert, by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis: “We support civil rights, and hope WA State voters will APPROVE REF 74 and legalize marriage equality.”

Kennedy interviews a lesbian couple facing visa and immigration issues for Reason:

“Hope Hall, an American citizen and military veteran, and her Canadian partner and soon-to-be wife Nathalie Gaulthier, who runs an internationally renowned circus arts school and has spent 17 years living in working in the U.S. Though marriage is often the one reliable path to citizenship for many straight couples, the Defense of Marriage Act prohibits United States Immigration and Citizenship Services from granting the same legal rights to gay couples, even those married in a state where gay marriage is legal.”
