Not Safe To Be Me is a bird’s-eye view of the issues faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, from the early 20th century to the present. Director, Laura D’Antoni, examines bullying, coming out, history, religion and suicide through a series of interviews of young and old LGBT people who share their experiences. Paralleling these stories is the biography of Miami-Dade educator, Robert Loupo, whose own experiences with suicide and assault led him to create Safe Schools South Florida, an organization that trains teachers to recognize and intervene in anti-gay bullying.

Director Laura D’Antoni and interviewees from the film are scheduled to appear.
