Your Mom's a Lesbian, Here's Your Lunch, Have a Good Day at School

This honest portrait of a family's journey of acceptance and love will deepen anyone's understanding of homosexuality. We watch the Reverend Jane Adams Spahr gradually come to embrace a part of herself that she had disowned for years. We hear from her twin sister, her parents, her husband and her children; and we witness their struggle as the reality of her homosexuality and its implications begins to dawn on them.

"This video is about one woman's courage in admitting her homosexuality to herself and her family. The film follows their journey toward understanding, acceptance and a shared commitment to changing a society that denies so many people freedom to live in harmony with their deepest natures. It crystallizes what is intuitive: The expression of love--honored in whatever form it takes--has the power to uplift everyone."
