The stories of three COLAGE leaders are featured on the website for the new hit film The Kids Are All Right – nominated for 4 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress (Annette Bening), Best Supporting Actor (Mark Ruffalo), and Best Original Screenplay (Lisa Cholodenko & Stuart Blumberg).
The Focus Features film stars Mia Wasikowska and Jose Hutcherson as 2 kids born through donor insemination to their moms, played by Annette Bening and Julianne Moore. The film is a sensational presentation about a Hollywood donor inseminated family and touches on some of the experiences faced by our families, living in a world that treats us differently.
The Kids Are All Right’s release coincides with the coming of age of a generation of people born to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people who chose to have children while being out about their sexuality. The film gives COLAGErs a chance to speak out, be heard and share their real-life experiences as donor-conceived people born to LGBTQ parents. What did you think of the film? Was it realistic?
