    I came across this video on YouTube and I thought it was a fascinating bit of work deconstructing the stupid bigotry of the world. I had to share it here.

    This movie will be on EC forever. It's like the 5th time I have seen a new thread about it, but I'm not complaining, seeing as it's a very thought-provoking movie about both LGBT+ issues and bullying as a whole.

    It's sad how some people argue that "This video is why f*gs should be ostracized" etc

    Hi ForNarnia, would you mind also sharing how your fellow classmates took the video when shared in your classroom? How did they react?

    To respond to the video: in my world, being gay is the norm. :slight_smile:

    Imagine a world where "love" was the norm and being "hateful" was the minority.

    Or is that leaving no wiggle room? LOL.

    I wished they'd explained the whole 'breeding season' thing a little better. Not for me, but for the idiots who are saying "why should I care about this? this obviously couldn't happen because the species couldn't evolve this way"

    ...when there are species on earth right now kind of like this

    Re: Imagine A World Where Being "Gay" The Norm & Being "Straight" Would Be The Minori

    I've seen this before.

    It's a very sad movie, but it helps some straight people who have trouble seeing from different perspectives see it from a straight person being bullied and feeling horrible for being straight.

    It's made people see the extent that this goes. It makes people really feel. It takes people from "well, yeah, bullying is wrong, spitting in someone's face and calling them a fag isn't nice" to "This is very wrong, we need to end this."

    I wish in some way everyone would act like their in an minority. Act like your on everybody else's level and they world would be a better place. Once you think you are higher than somebody else you divide this world father apart. i am proud to be a gay disabled christian and those are three groups who all face challenges in this world.
