| Summary |
Young lesbians, gays, and their families describe their own "coming out" experiences clearly and poignantly |
|
"In this video documentary, you will watch real interviews with gay and lesbian teenagers and their parents as they share their experiences of coming out. You will also hear expert commentary by Dr. Wendy Rosen on the special issues these teenagers face at home and at school, as well as the different stages and processes they and their families go through in order to fully embrace their sexuality. You will learn about the different stages teens may go through in the coming-out process, including isolation, alienation, denial, and finally acceptance and finding community; become informed of the special needs of gay and lesbian youth including finding gay and lesbian role models, supportive peer groups, and acceptance from family; and understand the pressures and difficulties, including implicit and explicit homophobia, that make coming out a challenging process for teenagers. This video is an invaluable resource for parents, teachers, and professionals working with teenagers." Supplied by publisher |
