REVIEW
A must-see for lesbian and gay parents everywhere as kids take center stage in voicing their thoughts on growing up as children of gay and lesbian parents. The film focuses on five different families – all of diverse incomes, races, communities (from Arizona to southern New Jersey), and household arrangements (single queer parents, lesbian mom raising her kids with her female lover, two gay men raising a family.) A fascinating, frank exploration that elicits startling comments by the children (most, but not all, supportive), the parents and even straight parents who share custody. They talk of their comfort in telling their friends and classmates, their thoughts on whether they themselves might be gay or lesbian (usually not), and even the underlying anger at being different. Directed with great sensitivity by Meema Spadola, herself the daughter of a lesbian mother.
