A documentary film that promotes the actions of gay-rights activists across the country will get two premiere screenings in Charlotte.
"Legalize Gay," set to air on the cable TV channel Logo in late spring, will be show at 7:30 p.m. Thursday following a reception at Petra's Piano Bar, 1919 Commonwealth Ave., and again at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the LGBT Community Center of Charlotte, 820 Hamilton St.
Subtitled "The Civil Rights Movement of a Generation," the movie "captures the courage and conviction of a new generation of activists - gay and straight - as they campaign, often in parts of the country hostile to gay and lesbian rights, for LGBT equality in marriage, non-discrimination in sports and at work, same-sex sex education, standing up to bullying and forging inclusive college campuses."
