Elvira Kurt clip from WE'RE FUNNY THAT WAY

We're Funny That Way, a 90 minute comedy/documentary special, showcases the wit and wisdom of an unusual group of performers who have, for years, taken the professional risk of coming out onstage. Filmed at Canada's first international gay and lesbian comedy festival held in Toronto in 1997, Were Funny That Way features the talents of eleven of North Americas best openly gay or lesbian comedians.

Since mother day has just passed - I truly do feel the shame from my parents because of my homosexuality. It is something that I have internalized for quite some time and I am working to release that shame and find joy within my self and my sexual orientation.
