Straightlaced: How Gender's Got Us All Tied Up
Presented by PFLAG Lexington
at the Unitarian Universalist Church
564 Clays Mill Rd., Lexington, KY
With courage and humor, teens who identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or questioning, open up their lives to the camera -- from the intricacies of choosing a deodorant, to handling the locker room and the restroom, to mourning the suicide of a classmate.
Coming of age today has become increasingly complex and challenging; Straightlaced offers teens and adults a way out of anxiety, fear and violence, and points the way toward a more inclusive, empowering culture.
