Actors Mindy Cohn and Tamlyn Tomita star as lesbian parents in the short film, Operation Marriage.
Actress Mindy Cohn (The Facts of Life, Scooby-Doo) and Tamlyn Tomita (The Joy Luck Club, Glee) play two gay moms in Quentin Lee’s non-profit educational short film Operation Marriage, for children worldwide.
Based on Cynthia Chin-Lee’s children’s book, Operation Marriage is the story told from a child’s point of view about an eight-year-old girl and her little brother trying to get their two moms married before Proposition 8 goes into effect.
Operation Marriage represents the perspective of kids of LGBT parents rarely seen in literature or popular media.
A film for children worldwide, it’s a universal story of the family about LGBT rights, marriage equality, and having an alternative family.
While the film aspires to be a piece of art, it is also public service announcement and an historical document of a particular moment in time in world history. It is a testament to our past and continual fight for human rights.
