Coming up at #NLGJA24: SEPTEMBER 5, 6:15pm PT: MSNBC Films presents “It’s Okay,” a new documentary produced by Jesse Tyler Ferguson! This film is a quiet take on a very noisy subject—the rise of hate and intolerance against the LGBTQIA+ community—as two young brothers observe and absorb their first Drag Story Hour. A refrain of “It’s okay” underscores their experience, and this simple utterance takes on a multitude of meanings in its repetition, from assurance to question, hope to fear. Join us for a screening and a conversation with producer Jesse Tyler Ferguson, immediately following the film.
