According to director Brita Lind, the first being she ever came out to was her dog. Queer Companions, the film Lind created as part of the Common Weal's video project I Can See Queerly Now, sounds the depths of connection between gay and lesbian pet owners and their four-legged companions. Whether their dogs function as substitute children or their cats feed a compulsion to rescue the world's forgotten, these individuals revel in their pets' unconditional acceptance.
