Frequently Asked Questions

The true story of the students of Brigham Young University's queer underground, as they lit the school's iconic "Y" in rainbow colors.

The film combines new, original footage with a huge variety of historical images, videos, newspaper articles, and other mixed media from every conceivable source to tell the story of BYU's queer students, and the bravery and risks they constantly take to make their voices heard.
