- Program Description
For Stacie Mistysyn, host of the Degrassi Talks TV documentary on sexuality, questioning kids about sexuality was fun. "I like putting people on the spot and getting them to be honest and up front about their sexuality - trying to convince them that a lot of what we're talking about is normal and [something] not to be embarrassed about."
But dealing with their sexuality is not always fun for everybody - perhaps least of all for the one out of ten teenagers who discovers that he or she is homosexual. Kim Mistysyn, Stacie's sister, was one.
Stacie Mistysyn is the veteran of the Degrassi kids, with five years playing Lisa on The Kids of Degrassi Street and five more years as Caitlin on Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High.
