Music plays and text is superimposed over crumpled looking paper reads: "Our gender creates bias. Our sexuality creates bias. Sex is part of who we are. No one is addressing the subject. When we aren't doing it, we are thinking about it. We don't talk about sex enough" "We interviewed seven people hoping to discover the differences and similarities everyone shares in dealing with their gender and sexuality throughout life." "We want to know where sexual prejudice may come from, how it determines the way we live our lives, and what possible solutions may exist. This is what they had to say..." |
