About this movie

From award-winning director Maya Newell comes this groundbreaking documentary GAYBY BABY, following the lives of four kids – Gus, Ebony, Matt and Graham – whose parents all happen to be gay. At a time when the world is questioning the politics of same-sex families, GAYBY BABY takes us into the homes and personal dramas of four kids approaching puberty under the guidance of gay parents. In his all-female household, GUS strives to work out what it means to be a “man”; EBONY struggles to find her voice as a singer and a place where her gay family will be accepted; MATT questions how the God his lesbian mums worship can also damn them to hell; and GRAHAM’s desire to read and win the approval of his dads is complicated by a move to Fiji, where homosexuality is frowned upon. Told from the point of view of the kids, GAYBY BABY is a living, moving portrait of same-sex families that offers a refreshingly honest picture of what really counts in modern life.

Ratings and reviews

really touching. so real. each family portrayed is as different as it can be. the film never goes very far into the backgrounds of each family, instead it just gives you a peek into these families' lives for what seems like a summer(?)... the kids' point of views on growing up with same sex parents is cool too. i would recommend this to anyone with an interest in lgbt issues or anyone who likes documentaries.

This is a great film to talk about the views of children of gay and lesbians and how they feel and think instead of the right Wing's telling them how they should act

People now in days don't understand what it's like. Seeing this film is really cool. Watch it
