Straightlaced documentary

  Outer Banks Peace and Justice Interfaith Coalition is featuring the documentary “Straightlaced’“ in March.

  “Straightlaced“ unearths how popular pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens. Their stories reflect a diversity of experiences, demonstrating how gender role expectations and homophobia are interwoven, and illustrating the different ways that these expectations connect with culture, race and class.

  From girls confronting media messages about culture and body image to boys who are sexually active just to prove they aren’t gay, this array of students opens up with brave, intimate honesty about the toll that deeply held stereotypes and rigid gender policing have on all our lives.

  The coalition is interested in broadening the audience of this film. If you or any organization is interested in working with this group, please contact the coalition.
