Growing up Gay Part 6 of 8

Filmed over 18 months, the 'Growing Up Gay' production team followed the lives of six young people and, in the process, captured the challenging and even hostile experiences which lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young people face in their everyday lives. The series also looks to explore the more universal experiences of growing up - from the ups and downs of life at home and at school, to friendships and falling in love. By presenting the human stories behind labels such as 'gay' or 'lesbian', the series looks to alleviate the stigma surrounding various expressions of sexual identity.

'Growing up Gay' is directed Aoife Kelleher (No Frontiers), produced by Anna Rodgers (Today is Better than Two Tomorrows) with John Murray as executive producer. The series' director of photography is Richard Kendrick (Cromwell in Ireland) and it is edited by Colm O'Brien (DIY Dads)

The Series was Broadcast on RTE 1 in April 2009.
