PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED

Parental Guidance Suggested is very informative and explains a lot of true feelings. It would be a good conversation starter for families about being gay.

This is a very informative video about being gay and how and when you tell your loved ones. The interviews feature several well-known people - Hawaii News Now digital reporter Dillon Ancheta, civil rights attorney Kim Coco Iwamoto, Wang Chung's Karaoke Bar owner Dan Chang, marketing strategist Roxy OTM, Highgate Hotels VP of Operations Kelly Sanders, and drag performer Marina Del Rey - who talk to their parents, who are represented by puppets. This is an open discussion that thousands of kids do not know how to tell their parents about their sexual orientation so this film provides great modeling for them. The film is beautifully made from the camera work, the audio recording, the background music - all of the production values are top notch. The variety of young people discussing the topic with their "puppet" style parents is great. Most importantly, it contains the truth. This would be a very useful film to play at schools or youth service organizations to give youth that are struggling with how to talk with their parents about their sexual orientation in ways that would be comfortable for them. My favorite part has to be the puppets. They are gorgeous and serve as perfect role models for parents.

The film's message is about how people feel when they open up about their sexual orientation.

I give Parental Guidance Suggested 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18. By Michelle B. and Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
