Maple Palm - an independant movie about the lack of immigration equality
http://www.maplepalmmovie.com/

What if the love you cherished could be ripped from you, and there's nothing you could do to stop it? Could you leave everything behind at a moment's notice? Would you fight to stay together, or let bureaucracy tear you apart? If a gay American falls in love with a foreigner, there is no legal way for the couple to remain together. Obfuscated by gay-marriage and general immigrant backlash, few options exist for bi-national couples. The choices are dire - live apart from the one your love, live together as fugitives, or flee the U.S. in search of freedom in one of sixteen countries that currently support same-sex immigration.

MAPLE PALM is an intense dramatic feature that exposed the harsh reality of nonexistant same-sex immigration protections in the United States, and the ruthless ambivalence these couples are forced to endure.

1. Isn't that Dave Thomas' company?
I thought he was involved with a film company called Maple Palm.

The answer, in my view, is simple. Flee the US!!! I'm not even gay and I want to flee (and I'm attempting to flee).

2. For many of us, fleeing simply isn't an option.
