i wish i knew how to quit you

so i saw brokeback mountain, i thought it was amazing, beautiful, what a stunning, sad love story. i cried and cried. just beautiful.

looked up some pics of jake gyllenhaal when i got home, cause he's just stunning, and i found one of him standing at an ACLU podium. ding ding, so i search around and find this:

The ACLU/SC believes that Naomi Foner-Gyllenhaal and Stephen Gyllenhaal have set an incredible example for their children, Maggie and Jake, with their strong support of the ACLU and countless other political organizations. This family is demonstrating what it means to pass the "torch of liberty" from one generation to the next, and we honor them as a family that embodies true American family values. The family's activism has been manifested in so many ways over the years that what is provided here is just a sampling. Before Maggie and Jake were born, Naomi was educating and empowering a huge audience of children through her involvement in the shows Sesame Street, The Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact, teaching a new generation to see differences in skin color and gender as pluses, not minuses. Maggie's interest in Central American issues was encouraged when her parents helped her make a documentary on the subject, and Jake is an outspoken proponent of the film industry's responsibility in addressing political issues. In Losing Isaiah, Naomi and Stephen's film about a drug addicted mother's struggle to keep her child, the issues of women's rights, children's rights, racial justice and the rights of the poor are explored in depth. Stephen has also directed projects with important criminal justice issues, including Robber Homicide Division, The Shield, The Warden, and Homicide: Life on the Street. This is a family that understands the important role films can play in exposing audiences to messages that build support for the principles of liberty and justice. The ACLU Foundation of Southern California is proud to honor the Foner/Gyllenhaal family for making activism a family affair.

go gyllenhaals! kudos to them.
