Birmingham SHOUT Gay + Lesbian Film Festival 2009

A film about the current lack of availability of domestic partner benefits for gay and lesbian employees at UAB. Domestic partner benefits include, but are not limited to, health insurance, bereavement leave, and other systems and policies of support provided by UAB to their employees and spouses. This lack of financial and social support from the university has had negative effects on the UAB GLBT community for years, and because of this a group of faculty and staff organized to begin the arduous process of bringing visibility to the issue of domestic partner benefits, the people that suffer without them, and working towards policies that reflect the value of GLBT employees.
