Featuring candid interviews with more than 50 teenagers from diverse backgrounds, Straightlaced examines the stereotypes and antigay attitudes that result from the pressure on young people to conform to gender expectations. The film explores the pressure not only on GLBT kids to "fit in" but also on straight teens. (70 mins., video)
