Out At Work: Lesbians and Gay Men On the Job
In 1992 Cheryl Summerville, a cook at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Georgia, received a termination paper stating she was fired for "failing to demonstrate normal heterosexual values". She was shocked to discover that in more than 40 states it was legal to fire workers for their sexual orientation. Out At Work chronicles the stories of three workers who seek workplace safety, job security and benefits for gay and lesbian workers. (1999, 56 min, Directed by Tami Gold and Kelly Anderson) ([link removed] Tix) ([link removed] Trailer)
"Vividly illustrates what happens when LGBT people are not legally protected from employment discrimination. It exposes once and for all the lie that gay people's rights are "special rights" with stories that are both ordinary and inspiring."
- Sarah Chinn, Professor of English, Hunter College (CUNY)
Out At Work was the first documentary about gay and lesbian workplace rights and won GLAAD's Best Documentary of the Year in 2000.

Denial
Christine Hallquist is the first transgender candidate for Governor and a "closet environmentalist" dedicated to addressing the way electricity use in America contributes to climate change.
As Hallquist struggles to build the kind of transparent company whose honest approach can get stakeholders to accept the realities of how we generate and deliver electricity, he realizes he must apply that same transparency to his personal life and reveals to his son a lifelong secret. Dave Hallquist, who presents as a chainsaw-wielding, hard hat-wearing CEO in a male-dominated industry, is a woman inside. Now, Derek's family must face facts that feel far more immediate than the melting of the polar ice caps and denial emerges as a common theme linking all of these issues. (2017, 92m, Directed by Derek Hallquist and Anoosh Tertzakian)
