The Good

Two Spirit People - Celebrate OutSpokane's Pride theme this year of Two Spirits, One Journey with this classic film that explores the historical and contemporary Native American concepts of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation. The berdache tradition in Native American culture is one in which individuals who embody feminine and masculine qualities act as a conduit between the physical and spiritual world, and because of this are placed in positions of power within the community.

the Bad

Abomination: Homosexuality and the Ex-Gay Movement - Profiles the journeys of four gay Christians who did everything possible to become heterosexual by following the "treatment" protocols of the so-called ex-gay ministries. At times heartbreaking, at other times hilarious, the approaches taken by these religious groups range from shock therapy and hypnosis to "gender coaching." Ultimately the "therapy" fails, even for the ministers in charge as they repeatedly scandalize themselves by "relapsing into gayness."
