The Screen Guide

Last year saw the largest number of kids being born into gay families in human history. It was also a year which saw the world furiously debate whether gay couples can raise well-adjusted children, and whether they should be allowed to marry. Told from a child’s-eye view, GAYBY BABY is a revealing, intimate and at times humorous portrait of four kids coming of age in this paradigm, all raised in same-sex families. It’s the story of a new generation of kids who are queer by nurture and by birthright.
