What a wonderful documentary about small town bigotry and hate, and the positive outcome brought about by persistence and being on the right side of the issues. CJ was quite a nice kid who would never had been perceived as gay if he hadn't come out. He showed valor and strength of character by defending the more out gay boy at his school. I wish the best for him and hope he is OK in Oil City.
