The variation in their experiences, from being adopted to living with a post-op trans uncle, and responses from relative silence to vigorous protest and political engagement, create a compelling picture of the many ways families are create and children develop.<\/p>\n<p><em>Out in the Heartland<\/em> also focuses on GLBT families; in 2004, a constitutional amendment defining marriage as &#8220;between one man and one woman&#8221; passed by 75%. The interviews with GLBT people and their families, conducted during the lead-up and aftermath of the election, are heartrending.<\/p>\n<p>The two films are a wonderful set, illustrating both the importance of GLBT families, and the effects of discriminatory legislation. <em>In the Family<\/em> is highly recommended for public libraries, and would be great for a film night, especially with teens.
