The year-long film series Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen: The Many Meanings of Family continues on Thursday, October 20 at 7:00 p.m. in Textor 103, with a screening of “In My Shoes: Stories of Youth with LGBT Parents.” This will be the Ithaca area premier of this just released youth-produced documentary film by and about children of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender parents.
Produced by the COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere) Youth Leadership and Action Program, "In My Shoes" tells the stories of five young people with LGBT parents. The group describes their film and its title this way: "In a time when LGBT families are debated and attacked in the media, courts and Congress, from school houses to state houses across the country, five young people give you a chance to walk in their shoes -- to hear their own views on marriage, making change, and what it means to be a family."
The film was named "best short" at the 2005 Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco. The screening is free and open to the public.
Sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs Center for LGBT Education, Outreach, and Services.
