Homosexuality: One Child's Point of View

Homosexuality: One Child's Point of View

One child's understanding of homosexuality.

Juanita Mohammed Szczepanski is a community video artist and activist.
She uses inexpensive camcorder video technology to respond to the needs of those who matter to her. In her work at GMHC in New York City, Mohammed Szczepanski makes educational videos for and about the AIDS community. In her personal video work, she looks to her friends and neighbors to find stories that are not typically represented in the media.

Love is you,
Love is me,
Love is everyone,
Love is not hate,
But love is friends loving friends,
Love is brotherhood,
Love is women loving women,
Love is men loving men,
Love is women and men loving each other,
Love is NOT hate.”
– Jazzy's poem in Homosexuality: One Child’s Point Of View, 1993
