I saw it at the Full Frame Festival over the summer and was truly impressed with the honest way that the director portrayed the families of individuals who were addressing their sexuality! It was also enlightening to see the debunking of the (biblical) arguments that are used against the queer community! If you are in the area, please consider making it to see this documentary! Maddy"
