Title: " Coming Out in Rural America "
Martin, Scott, Kate and Alex grew up in rural communities. Martin, Scott, Kate and Alex are also homosexual. In this documentary, they share their experiences of growing up and coming out to family and friends. While there are many similarities in their stories—feelings of isolation and fear of rejection—there are also differences in their coming-out experiences. The four talk honestly and straightforwardly about the myths and stereotypes about gays and lesbians, the societal structures of their hometowns and their experiences growing up there, as well as the tolerance and intolerance they have experienced since coming out. A production of the Nebraska ETV Network/University of Nebraska-Lincoln Television.
