Description

Did you know there are more than 32,000 mothers in America, many from conservative, Christian backgrounds, who fully accept their LGBTQ+ children? They call themselves “mama bears” because while their love is warm and fuzzy, they fight ferociously to make the world kinder and safer for all LGBTQ+ people. Although they may have grown up as fundamentalist, evangelical Christians, they are willing to risk losing friends, family, and faith communities to keep their children safe—even if it challenges their belief systems and rips their worlds apart. Arrive early to participate in a "Spread the Love" interactive art display from 3:30-4:30pm. Free admission; donations appreciated and 100% will support the Kent State LGBTQ+ Center emergency fund. Free parking! More info: thefilmcollaborative.org/films/mamabears
