An Australian documentary about children growing up with same-sex parents may or may not be seen to completion with crowd-funding efforts coming to a close in just five days time. Filmmaker Maya Newell turned to the public for support part way through production of ‘Gayby Baby’ and so far has reached 83% of her $100, 000 goal.
As the daughter of two mothers, Newell hopes to change the minds of those who believe same-sex parenting is detrimental to children and ultimately her goal is to bring gay marriage to reality. We’re in the midst of what Newell likes to call a ‘Gayby-Boom’ with fifteen percent of homosexual couples raising a child – amounting to millions of children across the globe. The documentary will be told from the perspectives of the three such ‘gaybies’ to see what it’s really like to grow up in such a family.
