voice and solidarity, Reivew on Freeheld

Partner in English refers to both a work partner and a life partner. The film tells the story of the heroine Lola and her two partners. As a police detective, she was conscientious and worked closely with her male partner. At that time, in American society, where people's acceptance of homosexuality was not high, she concealed her identity as a lesbian and carefully strived for the ability she wanted. Identity and occupational equality; as a lesbian, she truly loves and builds a home together with Taixi, a car mechanic who is much younger than her, but in front of outsiders, she can only call her partner a roommate. Unable to leave their pension to their same-sex partner.
Lola and Taixi's love and sympathy beyond age and gender is very touching, but she used her weak body to call for equality. With the support of gay rights groups and the media and the support of her relatives and friends, she finally succeeded in persuading the county legislature, The experience of fighting for a partner to inherit their own pension is even more inspiring. Her male partner went from anger and incomprehension to full support, and police colleagues from discrimination and indifference to coming forward, also made people see hope.
The movie is based on a true story, which may not be dramatic enough. I know the ending but I am still very moved. This is true power. There has never been equality in the world, but you might as well spend the rest of your life fighting for it. When you encounter injustice, please dare to speak up; when others speak out, please do not be stingy with your solidarity.
