HOT DOCS - ALL ABOARD - ROSIE'S FAMILY CRUISE
What is a family? Is it something defined by law, by tradition, or by love? For the growing numbers of gay and lesbian families in America, the answer is most definitely love – but too often, parents and children in such families are stigmatised, unable to participate in many of the simple, public joys that most families take for granted. For years, Rosie and Kelli O'Donnell, parents of four, dreamed of a society free of such discrimination. In 2004, they made that dream come true when 1,500 people – gay, lesbian and straight – set sail on a seven-day cruise to the Caribbean. With a bold stroke only Rosie O'Donnell could make, a joyous new community was born in this judgment-free setting, as passengers celebrated their freedom and made a positive, progressive statement about what “family” means today.
