What People are Saying about Thats So Gay...

"What a great exhibit! Thank you artists. I learned so much from the experiences you shared."

"A wonderful exhibit. Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I was very touched."

"I am a nanny for three kids with two Dads... Gay Dads. We came here today not knowing about the exhibit! It's great! We took some flyers! It is wonderful to know the three kids have a support group. They have some different obstacles growing up in a LGTB family and it is SO good to know they have a place to meet other kids just like them! Thank you."

"Thanks for your thoughts, your artwork, yourselves. I look forward to more from you and keep reaching for new leaders."

"Thank you for this beautiful display. It was thought provoking and deep. It tells a story that needs to be told. God speed to all."

"Thank you so much for your wonderful exhibit. I've been trying to find ways
to get my students to stop saying "that's so gay." This helped them realize they're talking abuot PEOPLE. You guys are so strong and an inspiration."

"I really enjoyed this exhibit. My friend's mom is gay and it was really inspiring to see that other people were in the same situation."

"I feel proud of all these wonderfully strong young people. What beautiful people you are! I feel reassured that our four year old son (of lesbian moms) will grow up to be strong, proud and cool too. Thanks everyone for your activism and honesty. Great exhibit! Keep it up..."

"Great work! I am a high school teacher in Tennessee (originally from San Jose, CA) and I'm constantly disapointed and discouraged about the blatant homophobia in daily life. Even my NEA Rep made homophobic comments! I'd like to see an exhibit like this in ever city in the country. Kids need to see it, and adults REALLY need to see it."

"I look forward to bringing out daughter to COLAGE as a resource and support for her. We are two moms, one who is transgendered. This exhibit also makes me want to pick her school environments carefully."

"Beautiful children, beautiful exhibit. Obviously these children are brilliant open people from loving families! Thank you for representing my family!"

"I cried. Thank you. In times like these, the more love shared and the more hate "outed," the better."

"I am a straight adoptive mom and have many LGBT friends who are raising children. I often have to explain to other straight parents that the families are great families too! I'm glad to see this exhibit and hope to see more."

"This is the best artistic, social commentary that I've ever seen by youth. I commend those involved in making it possible."
