Come Together. With states' recent domino-esque recognition of gay marriage, the movement is gaining momentum in all regions of the United States, rendering organizations like OKEQ increasingly important.

The ensemble formed in 1995 while the men were students at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane.

Mama Mia. "Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own," Aristotle once said.
But seriously, folks, nobody loves you like your mom. It's Mother's Day! Take the time to show appreciation for all of the hard work, tears and general madness your mother endured (or still endures) to help you become a responsible, independent human being. What can you do today to show your love? Make her a card, bring her a bouquet of flowers or simply take the time for a telephone call. If you're still mooching off mama and living at home, bring her breakfast in bed.

On the Border. We Oklahomans sure love our immigration laws! That's reason enough to check out Crossing Over, a film starring Harrison Ford that examines immigration and deportation in the ol' US of A. The multi-layered film contains a number of interwoven subplots that fall under the overarching theme: What does it mean to be American? Ford is an immigration officer who happens to have a soft spot for the very people he must track down. His situation is intertwined with those of others affected by immigration control, proving just how pervasive the issue is. For showtimes, visit circlecinema.com.
