The Human Rights Campaign is America’s largest civil rights organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans. HRC advocates for equal rights and benefits in the workplace, ensuring families are treated equally under the law and increasing public support among all Americans through innovative advocacy, education and outreach programs. Film Your Issue is proud for HRC to be among its formidable “cause” partners for 2008, and we welcome inspiring film entries on this important issue. Two years ago, we received an unprecedented number of gay, lesbian and transgender-themed films. “It’s the Buzz,” by filmmaker Brian Gonzales, was a FYI 2006 winner, and singled out by FYI VIP Judge George Clooney, who called Brian “a real filmmaker!”
