VIDEO: Gay Teacher Shows Anti-Bullying Film, Gets Bullied

What happens when you show an anti-bullying film in a small conservative Southern town? One gay Florida high school teacher found out. He’s now out of job and his principle has been suspended. [Read the full Florida Times article here.]

The controversial short “Love Is All You Need?” is based the premise of a "reversed world" where social roles are inverted – "gay" is "straight" and "straight" is "gay": a twelve year old girl is bullied for liking a boy in her school.

Filmmaker Kim Rocco Shields is currently raising funds via Indiegogo (similar to Kickstarter) to turn her short – the first film ever to have the support of GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network) – into a feature film, which she hopes to get in schools – and theaters – across the country.
