Jim in Bold

Jim in Bold is a documentary about Jim Wheeler, a gay high school student in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, who committed suicide in 1997 because of constant harassment at school. The film was created by the Equality Forum and directed by Glenn Holsten. The original music was composed by Michael Aharon.

The film premiered at the Equality Forum 2003 on Mayat The Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. A later showing, held September 28, 2003 at the Pennsylvania State Museum in Harrisburg as a fundraiser for Common Roads, a local gay youth support group, was protested bymembers of the Westboro Baptist Church, a religious institution well known for their extreme antigay views. Because they announced their intention to protest in advance, they were overwhelmed by over 800 counterprotesters who declared the day Unity Day. The counterprotest was organized by the Pride Festival of Central Pennsylvania led by community organizer Reynaldo Lacaba.
