LGBT fest books centerpiece
A film responding to the U.S. military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy has been chosen as the centerpiece of the 2010 Downtown Dayton LGBT Film Festival Sept. 24-26.
“A Marine Story” stars Dreya Weber (“The Gymnast”) as Alexandra, a decorated Marine officer who has been abruptly discharged. Back in her hometown, while struggling with her own issues, she’s asked to help a rebellious teen named Saffron (Paris Pickard) prepare for boot camp.
The festival screening committee considered many other films before choosing “A Marine Story” for the 7 p.m. Saturday night slot. The complete lineup for the three-day event hosted by The Neon Movies and the Downtown Priority Board is still being decided.
Sponsorships are also being sought. For more information about how to contribute, contact Jonathan McNeal at (937) 222-8452 or theneon@msn.com. For more about the festival, go to www.daytonlgbt.com.

Yes Bob, you’re right…Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is an utterly sick policy!
