LGBTQ+ 101

I like the film LGBTQ+ 101 and found it very informative. The film is mostly voiceovers with stock images, which weakens its message of inclusion. I liked the beginning with its definitions, however.

This film is about LGBTQ people in America and their history and tries to separate the facts from the myths about LGBTQ+.

This documentary gives an informative overview of the history of LGBTQ+ people. The visuals are a combination of still images, moving images and graphics on-screen, which are manipulated in many ways. I like the images at the beginning of the film and the peaceful images at the end as well. The film is a montage of images enhanced by a narrative that explains the concepts of various gender identities, and the words used to define them. The background music is pretty non-intrusive and the narrator drives the film. What sticks out the most, visually is the editing as it is fast-paced and constantly changing. My favorite part is the scroll of names of LGBTQ+ people at the end. That truly emphasizes the filmmaker's point.

The message of the film is that hate is wrong and inclusion is important. You should be aware that there is some nudity shown and some violent images or images showing the aftermath of violence.

I give LGBTQ+ 101 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend this for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Sandrine A. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

This country takes hate very seriously - and there are over 900 organized hate groups to prove it. Our society is increasingly apathetic and violent. Early on, many are taught to hate the enemy, to be fearful of the other, to feel threatened by those different from them. Participating in groups with hateful beliefs and expressions provides a connection that perhaps fills the emptiness or inner pain. It is time to separate the facts from the myths about LGBTQ+.
