Through candid interviews and humorous real life stories,Ā Families Like YoursĀ demystifies LGBT families and their lives, showcasing that they are just as loving, busy, and complicated as any other family. Ā Families Like YoursĀ follows five families as they attempt to balance work and school, rush kids to sports practice, and deal with diaper duty. From all across the nation and in all different stages of family life, from conception to grandchildren, these families represent a cross-section of the modern American family– the only difference is that they are LGBT families.
“It has never been more important to showcase the richness of diversity in America. LGBT families are a fixture of every community in this country, andĀ Families Like YoursĀ demonstrates why love, dignity, and respect for all is a virtue that should unite each of us,” saidĀ NGLCC Co-Founder and PresidentĀ Justin Nelson, who is an Executive Producer on the film along with NGLCCĀ Co-Founder and CEOĀ Chance Mitchell. “This film is dedicated to the brave and inspiring LGBT families across the nation who overcome discrimination and fear as they work hard, give back to their communities, and strive to achieve the American Dream just like everybody else.”
Award-winning filmmakersĀ Rodolfo MoroĀ andĀ Marcos DuszczakĀ are the creative team behind a parallel film inĀ Argentina,Ā Familias por Igual. The film was widely praised, receiving several prestigious awards that added momentum toĀ Argentina’sĀ LGBT equality movement.
Families Like YoursĀ will next be screened at theĀ 2017 NGLCC International Business & Leadership ConferenceĀ inĀ Las Vegas, ahead of submissions to film festivals and LGBT conferences around the world.
