“Patrice: The Movie” is a new documentary rom-com all about the next phase of marriage equality: disability. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and by the end you’ll be ready to take action.

Patrice Jetter has finally found the love of her life, Garry Wickham, who is also disabled. They want nothing more than to get married, but if they do — or even if they just move in together — the government benefits they need to survive would be cut. Despite the scrutiny they’re under, they decide to plan a commitment ceremony that could risk their entire future.

This community film screening and panel discussion comes at a pivotal time, where people with disabilities still do not have marriage equality; where there are renewed threats to marriage equality for LGBTQIA+ people, and where there are emerging attacks on our trans, non-binary and genderqueer siblings weaponizing the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act–the landmark disability rights  that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities.

Against attempts to divide us  in this moment, we rise together in joint struggle and use our creativity, our courage, our grit, and our commitment to one another–to revolutionary love–to defend our communities and create more just and liberatory worlds for us all.
