PFLAG National (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) has chosen to honor the film “Tru Loved” with its prestigious Focus on Equality Award. “Tru Loved” was selected because of its role as a leader in portraying positive images of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, as well as their families, friends and other straight allies.

“Seeing positive, healthy images of GLBT people and their families, along with the many challenges that they face, is critical in transforming hearts and minds,” said Jody M. Huckaby, PFLAG Executive Director. “€˜Tru Loved’ does this perfectly, and shows how, alongside our straight allies, we all can create real change - this is why they deserve PFLAG’s Focus on Equality Award.”

The cast features many failure names such as Bruce Vilanch “Hairspray”, Jane Lynch “The 40 Year Old Virgin”, Jasmine Guy “A Different World”, Matthew Thompson “Drake and Josh”, Marcia Wallace “The Simpsons”, Nichelle Nichols “Star Trek”, Jake Abel “Threshold”, Alec Mapa “Desperate Housewives”, Cynda Williams “Tales of the City”, Alexandra Paul “Baywatch” and Najarra Townsend “Me And You And Everyone We Know”.

Actor Najarra Townsend plays sixteen-year-old Tru who is uprooted by her lesbian moms, played by Alexanra Paul and Cynda Williams, from her comfortable gay-friendly home in San Francisco and moved to a conservative, suburban community in Southern California. Her only friend is a closeted football player, Matthew Thompson, - and even that friendship is jeopardized when Tru decides to start the school’s first Gay-Straight Alliance. Production is scheduled to wrap on August 2, 2007.
