Consenting Adult (1975) - Plot & Excerpts

In the shifting social landscape of America in the 1960s, a mother struggles to understand--and accept--her son's homosexuality Tessa Lynn considers herself independent and progressive, a liberated woman of the 1960s. And yet, when she receives a letter from her youngest son, Jeff, informing her that he is gay, Tessa is distraught. At a time when homosexuality is regarded as a mental illness, she struggles with how best to be a parent to a gay son--and how to protect her family from the prejudices of the era.Elegant and subtly drawn, "Consenting Adult" is a stunning tribute to familial bonds, and a sympathetic portrait of a mother whose best intentions are often clouded by the stereotypes of her time.
