"What a delightful and heart shattering blessing it was to be able to see this short. This was the second film I have seen during Frameline, and yet again I was blown away and in awe as the tables were turned in society to be unaccepting of the heterosexual perspective, as they were thought of as breeders." - Katie Chaplin
"I was very personally invested in this film because before I left for California I had an incredibly heated discussion with my extremely conservative Christian godmother/aunt concerning the topics covered in this film. Raised in patriarchal schools and going to church every Sunday, she began drilling me that I shouldn’t be going on a trip like this and that it was my duty if I did to help reprimand “these people” she called those of the LGBT community and that I must “help stop the sin.” She is one of the believers in the awful gay rehabilitation, the section of the world that still thinks homosexuality is some sort of mental illness. I left appalled, emotionally raw and attacked. This film became all too real to me when I read the description and decided to go. I knew it would be difficult to face the issue again, but also that I needed this piece to remind me where I stand and that I am passionate about fighting these beliefs." - Brianna Mueller
"It absolutely scares me to think about places like Love In Action and even more so knowing that they exist. The idea of reparative therapy is not to be taken lightly. I feel like there is nothing to “repair” so what are they repairing? There’s nothing about homosexuality, or sexuality in general, that should be repaired. Hearing about how there were children brought to this “center” and basically held against their own will was absolutely heartbreaking." - Tatjana Trommershauser
"The most beautiful quote from a protester was a mother standing proud next to her daughter, “I’m here for my gay daughter. How can she love herself if I can’t love her?” That is what we should be teaching. Love. Acceptance. Compassion for oneself and others. That last thing anyone should ever want for their child is to feel such shame." - Elizabeth Albert
