Movie Reviews
I
live in a small city in Wisconsin where being gay is rarely spoken
about. I am a high school English teacher at a local high school and the
adviser for the Gay Straight Alliance. "The Fosters" gives me hope and I
believe it also gives my students hope. I love the way it normalizes a
marriage between two women as I hope to be married someday to a woman as
well. This show is tastefully written and beautifully acted. The
relationship between Teri Polo and Sherri Saum's characters feels
authentic and is well represented. I am appalled by the reviews of
others on the IMDb site who feel that The Fosters is ''trashy" or
"disgusting" or should not be classified as a "family show." This is the
truest family show I have ever seen because it speaks to who I am.
Shame on those who cannot see past their own biases concerning what it
means to be a family. Congratulations to everyone involved in the
production of this show. You should be proud of yourselves.
