LinkThat's a Family! was produced not to encourage tolerance, but to aggressively advocate the normalization of homosexual behavior. The San Francisco-based organization that made the video, Women's Educational Media, says in its mission statement: "We ensure that our films are used to inspire meaningful social change." Other films produced by the group include One Wedding and a Revolution, a "behind-the-scenes look at the days leading up to San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's decision to allow lesbian and gay couples to marry," and Choosing Children, a "groundbreaking documentary about lesbians becoming parents."

Women's Educational Media further states on its Web site (
http://www.womedia.org) that its sole purpose in making That's a Family! is to help schools in "addressing gay issues with young children in an age-appropriate way, and of helping kids make the link between sexual orientation and issues such as race, ethnicity and gender." WEM stresses the need to do this with children as young as kindergartners because "waiting to teach children to accept differences of all kinds until middle school or high school is too late" and then "becomes a difficult process of 'unlearning' negative attitudes and opinions." One can infer that these differences of opinion may come from the child's parents or possibly his or her religious faith.
