Actors Mindy Cohn and Tamlyn Tomita starring 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 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While the film aspires to be a piece of art, it is also public service announcement and an historical document of a particular moment in time in world history.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.
