Misfits

LGBT Teens Coming Out in the Bible Belt

MISFITS is a coming of age-doc about three American teenagers from conservative Tulsa struggling with isolation and instability in a heartfelt story that portrays family bond, poverty, survival, love and the consequences of coming out as a young LGBT in the Bible Belt.

The film is about a new generation of teenagers coming out at an early age in the middle of the Bible Belt. While the general public opinion towards gays within America is slowly changing, this coming-of-age story closely follows the three gay teen protagonists as they struggle to achieve a sense of self within families in a community that still widely condemns homosexuality.
