This is Family

What constitutes a family? How is the typical American family defined? How has the notion of gay families evolved over the past decades? Is there such a thing as a typical gay family? This fascinating and sometimes shocking documentary profiles the diversity of gay and transgender households in America today. With the aspirations and diverse ways of life for gay and alternative households changing so quickly, is society adapting fast enough to keep up with them? Each section of this video profiles different scenarios and cultures and shows how alternative lifestyles have lead to accepted happy lives. There are families consisting of two mothers and those with two fathers. There are shelters for children and young adults who have been rejected by their traditional families because of sex changes or alternative lifestyles. How they have coped with family rejection and non-acceptance is described. There is an elementary school, high school and university version of the documentary available. Versions: College: 79 minutes High School: 71 or 54 minutes Middle School: 18 Minutes
