Evolving Identities

This short documentary was commissioned by the Seattle Channel for their "Community Stories" series. I put it together with talented videographer Sukhi Sanghera.

"Kathie and Kaitlin are two lesbians from diverse backgrounds. Kathie has been active in the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender and people of color communities for over twenty years and has witnessed the changes from the pre-Civil Rights era through today while Kaitlin, a regular participant at Lambert House, a drop-in center for LGBT and questioning youth, is active in Seattle's LGBT youth community at the age of 19. While Kathie and Kaitlin represent the 'then and now' of the lesbian activist community, their stories of coming out and volunteering are much the same."

Seattle really is a queer friendly place =) I have lived here all my life but where I live no one is really that accepting, especially not my mom lol but my first visit to Lambert house was so cool! The second we got to cap. hill I saw gay bars and almost everywhere had a pride flag =) It is great..at first I felt like I didn't fit in but now I feel like I am whole because I have people supporting my sexuality =)
