"The main vehicles advancing the film's agenda are the brilliantly
framed discussions with children and teenagers. The producers effectively
record (and edit) the participation of students in activities addressing
lesbian and gay issues from a positive and pro-active perspective.
Talks with parents, teachers and administrators are secondary in importance,
but still powerfully revealing in their focus and emphasis. The few video
participants who question the central assumptions are clearly marked as
out-of-touch, if not ignorant and in need of gay-affirmative education.
Even the simple music by Jon Herbst succeeds in underscoring the message
of the film: the importance of expanding the 'gay is OK' message into the
school environment. The music then becomes subtly sinister when the film
portrays news accounts of 'gay-bashing,' or when it spotlights 'anti-gay'
politicians and others who do not accept the concept that homosexuality
is normal.
One of the most effective scenes revealed, in an elementary classroom,
that the beloved music of the film The Lion King was the work of a gay
musician. The overwhelmingly positive reaction of the children was powerfully
reflected in their faces.
The children were also encouraged to join in praise of a young essay
winner who wrote proudly of her two lesbian 'moms.'"
From this it is clear that the intent of this film is to promote much more
than tolerance. This kind of well produced propaganda is yet
another attempt to brainwash our children into abandoning their religious
beliefs in favor of empty promises from the life threatening behavior known
as homosexuality. Stayed tuned,
