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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Growing Up Gay and Lesbian with Brian McNaught, August 9, 2002

This review is from: Growing Up Gay & Lesbian [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Brian McNaught is by far one of the best presenters of gay issues that I have come across.

Growing Up Gay and Lesbian is one of my best education videos in my video library. I highly recommend viewing by parents, teachers, preachers, students and anyone wanting to be edudcated on this issue.

I have used this video in a number of workshops addressing anti-gay climate in schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and enlightening, March 13, 2003
This review is from: Growing Up Gay & Lesbian [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I have never seen such an outstanding video on the subject. An exceptional investment for helping narrow minds widen and eyes open. This video gives you the rare chance to fully understand a subject thats not considered polite conversation. A heaven send for lost parents. The finest Question and Answer video on the market. This tape should be in every school. If you are 17 or 71 years old and want to better understand, this is the ticket. If you are a parent who needs answers, buy this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars I came Out with this video., September 20, 2003
By 
"tktluis" (Tecate, B.C. Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Growing Up Gay & Lesbian [VHS] (VHS Tape)
It was an amazing experience, after going to 4 sessions with a psycologist, so I could come out to my mom, I came across this incredible video. At first I thought it was for teenagers, but I rented it anyways. I'm 29 years old.

I could not belive how I felt after seeing it by myself, and that's when I decided to use it to come out. It was a total success with my mom and I, It clarified all of her missconceptions, and made an already good relationship with her, into a Great one!

Please rent or buy this informative video, it's for your own peace of mind. It saved me lots of therapy sessions.
