What I really like about the film is that it wasnt just particularly about GLBT youth, Garcia adds. Its about everyone, and how everyone gets put into these little cookie-cutter molds and how weird that is. The youth are really great examples of crossing over those lines, but in ways that one wouldnt imagine.
Straightlaced opens tonight at Starz, in the Tivoli building on the Auraria campus, and screens through October 29; the Center and the Matthew Shepard Foundation are teaming up with Starz to promote the film to high schools, so classes on a field trip will be offered daytime screenings, as well.
