MA: Gay teen study's findings distorted by religious extremists ======================================================================= From: WEMDHC@aol.com Date: Mon, 3 Aug 1998 18:31:31 EDT Subject: IT'S ELEMENTARY's Impact Profiled on "In the Life" FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 31, 1998 "IT'S ELEMENTARY" Director Debra Chasnoff Featured in an Upcoming Episode of IN THE LIFE Two years after its release, the award-winning film "IT'S ELEMENTARY-Talking About Gay Issues in School," continues to have an enormous impact, inspiring schools and social service providers across the world to address anti-gay prejudice among the young people they serve. Debra Chasnoff, the film's Academy-award winning director, is featured on an upcoming episode of IN THE LIFE, the only nationally broadcast gay and lesbian TV news magazine series. IN THE LIFE examines the tidal wave of interest in "IT'S ELEMENTARY," as well as the powerful right-wing attacks the film has received, most recently in conjunction with Republican efforts to thwart the nomination of one of the film's funders, James Hormel, to be Ambassador of Luxumbourg. The segment also features interviews with Julio Aponte, an elementary school PTA president, and Tom Little, director of the Park Day School, about the impact the film has had in each of their school communities.
