I am hoping that many of you WILL go to see this movie.
It is an important movie and a part of the GLBT history.
However, I would ask that you do NOT see it at a Cinemark
movie theatre.  Many of you may not be aware that the CEO 
of Cinemark Theatres, Alan Stock, donated $9,999 to Prop 8
in California.  He has no problem with taking the money of
GLBT people and then spending that money to discriminate
against us.  I ask that you please see it at the Cedar Lee 
or any other theatre - just not a Cinemark.  If you support
equal rights for all and/or support the GLBT community,
please no longer give your money to Cinemark - read about 
it here: http://www.nomilkforcinemark.com/
