Gay Youth
"If instructors have time and resources for just one videotape, it should be Gay Youth for its insightful treatment of coming out, parental support, peer harassment, and suicide among gay and lesbian teens."
Robert-Jay Green
California School of
Professional Psychology
"Students see Gay Youth as an important source for learning about the experiences of lesbian and gay youth. The contrast between the two major stories makes for excellent discussion about the risk factors involved in growing up gay in a homophobic and heterosexist society."
Highly Recommended

"Gay Youth lets lesbian and gay young people and their families tell their seldom heard stories. It depicts both the pain of growing up on the margins of an intolerant society -- and the joy of achieving self-acceptance and confidence."
Frances Kunreuther, Director
Hetrick-Martin Institute, New York City
"Gay Youth did everything I could have hoped for and more. I'll use it again and again in Psychology of Sexual Orientation and in an overall Introduction to Human Sexuality. I am always thrilled when I feel that even one student has been truly affected by something in my class, and that was surely the case with this DVD."

"Sexual identity issues are an important subject area that should receive attention in public library collections. Gay Youth is circulating well within our system, so I know there is a need out there."

"I love Gay Youth and so do my students! I teach a Peer Helpers class in our high school and middle school. We showed both Freedom to Marry and Gay Youth. It made for a great week of learning!"
