- "The families featured in the documentary include a trans/queer family with five children in Iowa who must find a new community after being expelled from their church; a gay black couple with a young daughter who test the line of acceptance in Nebraska; a lesbian couple who is homeschooling their bullied son on a farm in Kansas; a gay teacher in Ohio who is creating a safe space for LGBTQI+ students; and a couple in Minnesota that is struggling to rebuild their families after their transitions."
- This also follows Minnesota Representative and queer mother Heather Keeler, who, although she has been receiving death threats, brings LGBTQI+ rights to the political forefront.
