Caruso, John, Jr.
International Journal of Multicultural Education, v18 n2 p149-154 2016
This article describes a film entitled "The Year we Thought about Love" (2014) in which a LGBQT troup of teens who are part of a youth troupe called True Colors present the diversity of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender lives in art. Their mission is to break through personal isolation, challenge the status quo, and build thriving communities. In eight vignettes, a camera crew follows the 16 member cast in rehearsals, school assemblies, and their homes as they transform life issues into performances for social change. The award winning video has accommodations for equity and diversity. The film is closed captioned with subtitles in Spanish and Haitian Creole.
