This is going to air over a week in February and the timing could not be better. The LGBT community and its allies know how to fight – then and now.

Well for starters can I just say he’s got a heck of a cast. I could probably go on and on with at least 3 of them in this preview. However, that would be a book in itself so I’ll refrain. I’ve watched it a couple of times already and will probably watch it a few more times. I know that this is supposed to be about the LGBT community but I also got a sense that its going to also touch others as well because its about fighting for equality. As women we’re still fighting for equal pay and opportunities, minorities and the disabled are fighting to not be treated as 2nd or 3rd class citizens. I know I for one will either be watching it as it airs or going back and recording or watching online. The song in the preview couldn’t of been more perfect. Way to go Lance.

This looks terrific! I agree completely with Kay in that this will touch many people who feel disenfranchised, especially at this point in time. I also believe it might be good for people to see so that we get a refresher course in how to fight for our rights since it appears we’ll definitely have to do so all over again.
