In 1975, thanks to a courageous county clerk in Boulder, Colorado, Richard and Tony were one of the first same sex couples to be legally married in the world. <!--more-->Richard immediately filed for a green card for Tony based on their marriage. But unlike most heterosexual married couples who easily obtain legal status for their spouses, Richard received a denial letter from the Immigration and Naturalization Service stating, \u201cYou have failed to establish that a bona fide marital relationship can exist between two faggots.\u201d Outraged at the tone, tenor, and politics of the letter, and to prevent Tony\u2019s impending deportation, the couple decided to sue the U.S. government, initiating the first federal lawsuit seeking equal treatment for a same sex marriage in U.S. history. A film by Thomas G. Miller, Limited Partnership premieres on Independent Lens Monday, June 15, 2015, 10:00-11:00 PM (check local listings) on PBS.<\/p>\n<p>During a lifetime filled with health issues, money woes, and legal challenges, Richard and Tony never wavered in their love, lost their senses of humor, or gave up their quest for justice. Their personal trajectory parallels the history of the LGBT marriage and immigration equality movements, from their 1971 meeting at an L.A. gay bar called \u201cThe Closet,\u201d to the 1975 signing of their marriage license in Colorado, through the era of AIDS, to the historic U.S. Supreme Court rulings on gay marriage in June 2013.<\/p>\n<p>A poignant love story, Limited Partnership celebrates Richard and Tony\u2019s long path as they redefined traditional concepts of \u201cspouse\u201d and \u201cfamily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">About Community Cinema<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Community Cinema is an outreach project of CMU Public Television and the Dennos Museum Center.
