Review of Queer Youth Valentine

Very good opening, using the music to set the tone. The questions are good, they are open so people can answer but not intrusive either. The transition from the answers you were getting was a jolt switching from the "straight" to the "queer" answers gives shock value. This piece has been well scripted and I give kudos to the producers for taking grasp of a touchy subject and doing well with it.

Review of Queer Youth Valentine

Any Valentines related programming could benefit from these young GLBTQ voices. Instead, it's light and irreverent. It's a welcome youth produced antidote to a holiday that's generally played very straight in the media and in the popular conciousness.

Review of Queer Youth Valentine

This piece gave a very interesting perspective on homosexual youth's view of valentine's day. The audio was intriguing however, the producer's voice extracted from the various teens perspectives. Overall this piece was well planned, funny, and interesting.
