5.0 out of 5 stars The best and most moving speaker/ video I have ever seen., January 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Growing Up Gay & Lesbian [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Mr. Mcnaught captured me in his presentation. He made understanding the life of someone who is gay a little easier. Throughout his entire presentation, Mr. Mcnaught was comforting and compassionate to the thought's, feeling, and even the prejudices of other's and understanding of the fear's most people have when it comes to dealing with other's one feel's is not like themselves, therefore, not normal. I wish I could have shown this video to my mother 20 years ago, she may have had an easier time of dealing with the fact that 3 of her 5 children are gay/lesbian. She might not have had to do so much of her own research. Mr. Mcnaught, I believe, could bring understanding and compassion to anyone with his presentation style and on any subject. Definately one of the best speaker's I have ever had the pleasure of seeing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frank, honest, balanced, and nonsesationalistic, October 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Growing Up Gay & Lesbian [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great video.

It's target audience is straight people, probably family and friends of gay people, who have a need to understand homosexuality better.

If you are gay, you don't need to watch this video per se because you know it all--but if you are coming out or are having a hard time conveying to important people in your life what growing up gay was like, this is a great place to start, perhaps by watching it together, etc.

I put this video along with some other key books and resources into an "information packet" I gave to my parents when I came out to them. It was very helpful for all involved.

I'm so excited about the video. Brian's approach is great for all audiences. I've shared the video at home, with family, friends and have even shared it in the workplace. Our Cultural Diversity Team at my job loved it.
