How does human sexuality work? Hank’s take on explaining why diversity is actually… pretty beautiful.

Hank, who often explains things on youtube to John (who does likewise to Hank, see their youtube page here), gives the internet community a pretty decent attempt at summarizing and explaining the often misunderstood, misused or simply unknown concepts of biological sex, sexual orientation, sexual behaviour, gender identity, gender role and even romantic orientation.

The film tells about the strain on their relationship, but also on their family, and shows from their individual perspectives how much they’ve accomplished and where they are now. How their family radically transformed and what their relationships have become over time. It’s a tale of transformation, from a rather conservative background to a deeply needed more progressive environment. A tale of lives, narrated by the protagonists, documented trough family videos and photos, and the accounts of all family members.
