Documentary: Out in the Silence

Feb 13, 2011 · 6354 views

I first became interested in the story years ago when I learned that a kid who had been harassed in high school had successfully sued his school for the horrible abuse he experienced there.

The documentary was created by a couple who posted their same-sex wedding announcement in the Oil City newspaper which ignited a firestorm in the community so they brought their cameras to interview people and find out what’s behind all the hate.

    I love that I can read an article about cum and C-U-M, see a hot drag queen as a SUPER HOT guy, and watch this documentary all one website! :)

    Coming from a small town like Oil City, this really touches me. Great post!

    I saw this a few months ago. The Arizona ACLU showed it and I’m glad I went to see it. Glad to see that it’s on Hulu.

      Yes, it ran the circuit and now is on Hulu.

      I saw it as part of Chicago’s LGBT film fest when it first came out a couple of years ago.

      I have to say, it makes me a little homesick for PA. I could smell the autumn through the screen.
