Were Egyptian royal servants Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum the first-recorded same-sex couple in history? Probably not, though they were entombed together around 2400 B.C. For a slightly more recent view on the topic, look at the documentary
The Right to Love: An American Family, in which director Cassie Jaye follows the Leffews, a California family made up of two gay men and their two adopted children. The film records the family's struggles with discrimination as well as their everyday togetherness. See it for free at 7 p.m. at Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 913-383-7756). See
