“We are ? GLBTQ,” a documentary produced by two state agencies about gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth involved in child welfare, will be screened during the 2007 Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival.

The video has been entered in the juried, locally produced, short film category and will be screened Oct. 14.

Co-produced by Washington state’s Department of Social and Health Services Children’s Administration and Department of Information Services, the 28-minute film focuses on the lives of gay, lesbian and transgender youths in the state child welfare system.

It is being used by DSHS to train foster parents and kinship caregivers.
