What if gay was straight and straight was gay?

I saw that video once.

 

That one has showed up from time to time. It is so powerful, hey? It had me shivering uncontrollably by the end. Near tears too.

 

We did something like this in my education class this semester. Powerful stuff, I'll have to add this documentry to my queue

 

I couldn't make it to the end ;~; It's so sad, and makes you realize and remember how hard it can be :c

 

Its weird to think that we may act like the phobes if the world works the other way around, like the way they're treating us right now. The video is very deep, nearly made me cry and think reallllyyy deep thoughts at the end. Why can't people just accept the fact already? D{

 

I just got around to watching this and it's heartbreaking to see that two people that obviously love each other is forbidden to see each other. Even more heartbreaking that this is happening everywhere in the world. It's so...just so infuriating that Ashley is being treated as an outcast for being hetero and the guy is having to pretend that nothing is ever there. Everything is just so sad...I don't know if I can make it to the end. What's even more infuriating is people are trying to convince her it's just a phase she is going through as if she can't do anything about it. I can't...I can't finish it, just making me too emotional.

 

I'm speechless. And very very sad.

 

I watched that last week for the first time. I couldn't get past the last scene, but it was pretty powerful even so.

 

This video made me cry a bit. I just feel so lucky that I don't have to face this. That I don't have to go through life with parents who don't even like me. I'm so glad that my parents are accepting and I don't have to deal with the church and my friends are great, and I live in a place where being bisexual is ok.
Imma go come out to some people. Yeah, how bout' that?!
:icon_bigg:tears::icon_bigg

 

I've seen it a couple times. Just amazing. I feel like it shows straights what we go through on a daily basis. I was fortunate enough to have a mother that was very accepting of my sexuality. But some people have parents that are just not accepting at all and it makes me really sad.

 

omg i actually clicked on that link and said 'i'm not going to cry.' because i never do.
but i did. or i nearly goddamnit that was so powerful

 

I told my friend to watch it so he did. He could only watch a few scenes before bawling

 

a LITTLE too dramatic for me

 

The first ever story I got published in an anthology was a similar idea, except about autistic versus non-autistic. (It was an mother's account of her daughter being diagnosed with 'allism', which is the semantic opposite of the term autism. She had all the usual reactions that parents have when a child is diagnosed with autism.)

 

I hate this video uuuugh

 

Oh I saw this a few weeks ago - truly horrific. Almost had to turn it off towards the end. I think (may be stating the obvious here) that the aim should be to get as many people in the world to see this. Should be shown to people in schools - obviously the older children, as the bits towards the end are rather graphic, or perhaps with these bits cut out for the younger children.

 

that video is dumb as hell, on top of being cissexist, biphobic and homophobic [gender stereotypes how ~PrOgReSsIvE~].
and like, why arent documentaries about actually queer people enough for cishets to sympathise with us? why do we need stuff like this?
its gross as fuck

 

Very, very well done short film. I wish they'd air it nationwide - I'm sure it'd give a fair number of people something to think about. Not everyone, but a fair number.
