Church & State

Church & State is the improbable story of a brash, inexperienced gay activist and a tiny Salt Lake City law firm that joined forces to topple Utah’s gay marriage ban. The film follows Jennifer Lynn Dobner, Mark Lawrence, Jim Magleby, Taylor Petrey, and Peggy Tomsic as they navigate the Mormon church's influence in state politics and internal conflicts within the gay community. A true story of triumph, setback, and a pivotal lawsuit that paved the way for a U.S. Supreme Court decision, the film is a testament to the power of perseverance and advocacy.
