Joe Applebaum (producer) and Stu Maddux (director) report that their trip through the Southwest to spread the word about our documentary took a creepy turn this morning. They were in Colorado Springs, CO to drop off a DVD of our film to For The Family, the “family values” group. “This place is a campus,” Stu said. “It’s as big as a city college.” Joe noticed a city police car following them almost from the time they exited the highway.The two kept trying to find the front entrance of the complex and the Colorado Springs Police Department kept following. “The only thing that I can figure is that we were profiled”, says Joe. “We were two gay looking guys in a van with California License plates driving up to For The Family = Code Orange!” Stu and Joe decided to drop the DVD in the mail. They turned back onto I-25 and the cops stopped following.
