PBS to air documentary “Out in America”

I’m looking forward to this. We’ll be somewhere in the Caribbean but that’s what DVR is for! On Wednesday June 8, 8:00 pm eastern time, PBS will be airing a documentary titled “Out in America” that highlights different individuals and some couples as they live their out lives in different parts of the country. You can watch their trailer here (it’s set to expire June 30). “OUT in America is an uplifting collection of unique, transformative stories and inspiring personal narratives told through the lens of the country’s most prominent LGBT figures and pioneers, as well as many average, yet extraordinary, citizens from Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender communities. The program weaves together diverse stories – from urban and rural America, from the heartland to New England, from San Francisco to Harlem. Deeply moving and often humorous, viewers will get a glimpse of awakenings, first crushes, unlikely soul mates, intimacy and liberation. While separated by circumstance and upbringing, the film’s subjects are all united in their shared experiences of self-discovery, coming out, pride and love as well as a triumph over adversity and a true sense of belonging. Against the backdrop of historical events, each also traces their own hopes, struggles, influences and contributions towards advancements in equality and broad social change.”]]>
