My husband and I suspected our teenage son was gay because of his lack of interest in girls and the way he was slowly isolating himself. We would have conversations in front of him discussing our understanding of different lifestyles and then one day we played this movie when he was around hoping he would stick around to watch it. He did watch it and a few weeks later he sat us down and said he had been thinking about something for a long time and the movie helped him feel better about confiding in us. He said he knew he was gay for a few years, but was frightened to say anything, he even considered committing suicide. But we showed him that we would not hate him or think of him as disgusting and that gave him the courage to tell us.

This movie saved our family and our son in particular a lot of pain.

i thoroughly enjoyed this movie as it made me believe that my decision to come out to my family and friends was the best decision that i ever made...

This movie is so great that now i'm living home with my boyfriend, before i didn't see this movie i didn't tell anyone that i was gay but after i saw this movie i thought that i have to make a decidion and ask a guy out to the movies and after that we stick together. Thanks.

I really enjoyed this movie, it gave me a new outlook on life. I never knew how it would be when I came out. It's great, I have found so many gay men that have showed intrest in me since I came out!! I would like to thank this movie for helping me make my decisiom to come out. This has been a great experience for me!..

My name is Chris and I was one of the kids featured in this video 10 years ago. I just want to say after reading some of the reviews of this video I am very glad that I did it. It's very diffucult for me to watch it as I was going through some very difficult things at the time but the fact that others have found the strength to deal thier sexuality through this video makes me vey glad I did it. As an update, my family is very supoortive of me and my boyfriend and things do get better for you. Youjust have to have faith and hang on.

Though all hard traditions,customs and being a muslim in my country, I decided to uncover myself with a deep passion.I have just done it and I feel free myself. All that happened after watching this film.

This movie is so great that now i'm living home with my boyfriend, before i didn't see this movie i didn't tell anyone that i was gay but after i saw this movie i thought that i have to make a decidion and ask a guy out to the movies and after that we stick together. Thanks.

I was in this documentary. I played a small part as the confident to Chris, who was struggling with such a hard, understanding family. I would suggest any teen comming out or parent dealing with this see this film. It was a fun filming expierence.

In school I have been constantly made fun of because I dress diferently. I like tight clothing and silky shirts. This movie helped me deal with the pressures of school and my love life...

This was not bad however, I didn't feel it was a quality investment. Mostly it consists of a support group and its members talking about what is going on in there lives as young Gay folks. I felt that "Growing up Gay" was a much better learning tool and a fantastic investment.
