Join us for a screening of this award-winning local film, featuring 26 queer youth sharing their thoughts and feelings about gender and sexuality. These remarkable teens are from Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland and other Eastside communities. In this affecting 35-minute film they raise issues of identity and questions of belonging, while expressing their essential humanity.
Following the movie, there will be an opportunity for sharing and discussion, facilitated by the Safe Schools Coalition. PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) and Teen Link will also be on hand to share resources, along with the filmmakers.
Munch fresh popcorn, enjoy a soda and get the chance to win a free night out at the Majestic Bay Theater! Whether you identify yourself as straight or queer or prefer no label at all, whether you are 14 years old, 84 years young or “ageless,” you are welcome at this event.
