SUMMARY:Film Discussion: The Brandon Teena Story
DESCRIPTION:When 20 year old Brandon arrived in rural Fall City\, Nebraska in late 1993\,\nhis handsome looks and boyish charm won him several friends and a\npretty young girlfriend. On Christmas Eve Brandon was brutally raped and\nbeaten by two of his friends who became enraged when they found out\nthat Brandon was a trans man. A week later\, on New Year’s Eve\, the same\nmen murdered Brandon along with two of his friends\, Lisa Lambert and\nPhilip Devine. All were shot twice at a close range and Brandon was\nstabbed several times as well. The far-reaching effects of ingrained homophobia and misguided loyalty under a veneer of revealing the truth\, and\nhow this led to Brandon’s destruction are unravelled in this film. \nWatch on Kanopy for free: https://www.kanopy.com/en/phoenixpl/video/12561731 \nWhen: Thursday\, November 19\, 2026 at 12:00 pm\nWhere: Webex Virtual Meeting Room – access to room\ncan be found in PHXYou\, or in the Phoenix Public Library Link: https://calendar.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/event/17382670\nTo Register: PHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film\n(Course ID #212744) \nM e et s t h e P M G go a l fo r C o m m u n i t y a nd Or g a ni za t io n al\nA w ar e n es s Tr ai n in g

SUMMARY:Film Discussion: Brother Outsider
DESCRIPTION:On November 20\, 2013\, Bayard Rustin was posthumously awarded the prestigious\nPresidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama. Who was this man? He\nwas there at most of the important events of the Civil Rights Movement – but always\nin the background. BROTHER OUTSIDER asks “Why?” It presents a vivid drama\,\nintermingling the personal and the political\, about one of the most enigmatic figures\nin 20th-century American history. \nOne of the first “freedom riders\,” an adviser to Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and A.\nPhilip Randolph\, organizer of the march on Washington\,was  intelligent\, gregarious\, and\ncharismatic\, Bayard Rustin was denied his place in the limelight for one reason – he\nwas gay. This film contributes a fascinating new chapter to our understanding of both\nprogressive movements and gay life in 20th-century America. \nPHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film\n(Course ID #207165)

A documentary designed to record\, share and celebrate the personal stories of transgender women and men and their stories of struggle\, of courage and of triumph. Though they vary in age\, ethnicity and socioeconomic backgrounds\, each person has fought to cast off the gender assigned to them at birth and embrace their true selves. The decision to transition from one gender to another is a life changing one not just for the transgender person but for their family and friends. Male or female\, boy or girl? Most of us can answer that question without a second thought\, but for some people\, the answer isn’t so simple. Encouraging classroom discussion\, this program helps students to think of the differences in each of us in a positive way\, breaking stereotypes\, acceptance\, challenging prejudice and increasing visibility for the transgender community.\n Three (3) Cultural Competency Points earned with attendance!\nPHXYou: LEA100-VLT-LGBTQ Film (Course ID #122127)\nWatch it on Kanopy here! \nParticipants are encouraged to watch the film prior to the film discussion.\nFilms are not shown during the discussion.\n \nMy Transgender Life (Course ID #122127)_Flyer
