Synopsis:

In a time when LGBT families are debated and attacked in the media, courts and Congress, from school houses to state houses across the country, five young people give you a chance to walk in their shoes – to hear their own views on marriage, making change, and what it means to be a family.

• "Themes of Acceptance," Sacramento Bee, October 2, 2005
  "In My Shoes is an earnest, traditional 30-minute documentary focused on the children of same-sex couples. Told through the eyes and voices of the kids, it turns the political gay-marriage issue into the personal by showing that these are happy, well-adjusted kids being raised by caring adults."
