What You Had To Say

"It surprised me that sex education was connected to gay rights. I was surprised how the two are connected."

"It was uplifting. People are working for change."

"I really loved the film. I could relate to Shelby because I identify myself as a Christian and I believe in promoting sensible sex education based on science."

"I am a devout Christian and have chosen to be abstinent. Not because I believe sex outside of marriage is a sin but because of personal reasons."

"The word 'tolerance' is problematic in the context of queer rights because it implies deviance or inferiority. Why note 'acceptance' or even 'celebration'? 'Tolerance' means something is initially intolerable, which is not how I feel about sexual diversity."

"I am a gay man who grew up in Lubbock Texas in the 1970s. The people and attitudes of the people of Lubbock shown in your film were intimately familiar to me. Thank you for the comprehensive picture I saw portrayed in your film. Shelby is an inspiration to me."

"What a great movie in so many ways. A great example for parents like myself to give their children the wings and support, so that they can find their own way and their own opinions in this world. At the same time, what an encouragement especially for young girls in America."
