The fear of growing up queer: A transformative journey is a documentary by Amber Laenen about her journey to accepting her sexuality and the importance of (media) representation.

Nowadays there still is a lot of stigma surrounding being queer, because of that, realising you’re a part of the LGBTQIA+ community can be scary. Representation of the queer community in all kinds of media, whether it is in music, television or social media is crucial to normalise queer relationships.

Sky Felts a former queer you-tuber and Yana Dekempe testify about their experiences and how representation was important in their journey.

Join Amber on her journey of transforming her negative notions surrounding queerness to positives ones.
