Full A-Z list of video titles

After Stonewall (:86), 1999. Chronicles the history of lesbian and gay life from the riots at Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City, to the end of the century.

I Just Want to Say: Parents, Students, and Teachers Talk about Anti-Gay Bias in Our Schools (:13). Tennis champion Martina Navratilova hosts a candid and moving discussion of the anti-gay climate faced by youth in our schools today and offers suggestions for how educators can work to teach respect for all.

It’s Elementary: Teaching about Gay Issues in Schools (:37), 1997. Award-winning video which explores school activities, faculty meetings, and classroom discussions about the challenges and benefits of integrating lesbian and gay issues in school curriculum.

Out of the Past: The Struggle for Gay and Lesbian Rights in America (:65), 1998. A seventeen-year-old high school student in Salt Lake City, Utah, embarks on a history-making experience of forming a “Gay Straight Alliance” in her public school. The ensuing protests, legislative battles, and national media attention serve as a counterpoint to the history of human rights movement.

Straight from the Heart (:24), 1994. Examines the issues parents face in coming to terms with having a gay or lesbian child. It presents simple stories about real people: a police chief who speaks proudly of his lesbian daughter; a Mormon family whose son is believed to be the first person in Idaho to have died from AIDS; and an African American woman and her two lesbian daughters who had been accused of “catching” their lesbianism from white people. Straight from the Heart shows that homophobia is a form of bigotry inseparable from other manifestations of prejudice, particularly racism.

Transgender: The Law & Employees (1:53), 1997. Presented by the Iowa City Human Rights Commission. Video offers a comprehensive look at transgender identity from a personal, medical and legal perspective.

What Sex Am I? (:58), 1984. Looks at the manifestation of gender confusion in transsexuality and transvesticism through personal case studies that illustrate the dilemmas and emotions faced by those who are asking “What sex am I?”
