Dream Weaver Communications Inc. would like to try to help out. For several years now we've worked with youth to produce videos that have received accolades from teens, educators, the press and numerous community and government organizations. Our videos present life and issues from a teen perspective. We all know what we shouldn't do, but as teens, we often do it anyway so we try to give the message of what you need to know to stay safe, survive and be happy. We do this through an interesting story line rather than lecturing at youth and above all we spend considerable time making sure that all of our facts are accurate.
With all of this in mind, we have scripted our fifth video in the HormonesTV series. Titled "Queer", it will show just what being a closeted gay youth is like. It will portray the issues and realities of coming out and attempt to give gay youth and their supporters both confidence and resources to make the decisions that they have to make. This will be our first hour long full film quality production.

"Queer" -- Living Life as a Gay or Closeted Teen
It's really difficult to grow up in todays world of high technology, absent parents, limited jobs, and exponential information growth. It's even harder if you're gay. From the moment that you start questioning your sexuality you're battling your conscience and questioning if it's really true. You wonder and worry about coming out, fearing that you'll loose your friends and possibly even your parents, You're afraid of being bullied or even beaten up. You also question the lifestyle you would be entering and the stereotypical image that the media portrays of gays. In reality you are fighting a war between what your heart, hormones and possibly even physical characteristics are telling you and what many members of society find acceptable. You are fighting to be yourself.

The video has to help educate just as much as it needs to entertain if it's really going to help closeted youth and their friends and families. We've talked to a lot of different individuals and groups to figure out just what was needed.
