BALLOT MEASURE 9: Thursday, April 14th , from 7-9pm @ IDF

In Oregon's 1992 election, Ballot Measure 9 was proposed, an anti-gay
initiative, which would have denied civil rights to gay people. It was
defeated by a 53-47 percent margin. Director Heather MacDonald delves into
this explosive debate by speaking with representatives from both sides;
from brave members of the gay community who risked constant harassment and
personal attacks to stand up for what they believed in, as well as Lon
Mabon, sponsor of Measure 9 and Chair of the Oregon Citizen's Alliance,
who summed it up as "a simple battle between good and evil."  Kim Kranich,
a member of the 85% coalition, will facilitate the discussion following
the film.

The Human Rights Film series is cosponsored by: 85% Coalition, Activist
Forum, Amnesty International #124, Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort (AWARE),
