This is in Portuguese, but has English subtitles, and is really awesome.

Don't know if this has been posted already, but it's the movie that we watched in school. I can't find more than the trailer, but it is incredibly well done. How do you get a vdeo on here?

Kidd, that video about from Children for Children just made me cry... it is so lovely and great that they did it for kids... someone should sing it in English and show it in certain states of the USA.

 

This is such a cute video! Set to Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory".

It doesn't really have anything to do with support, but it's kind've funny.

This is a really old commercial from MTV's anti-homophobia campaign. I think it's really cute. ^_^

Suicide awareness. Right now really may be a horrible time, but it does get better. Don't give up. There are so many great things in life.

5 Poofs and 2 Pianos by Tim Minchin - YouTube

 

This is the recut version of an Irish anti-homphobia PSA that got a lot of air time a while ago. For some reason I just remembered it a few minutes ago so I decided to post it. ^_^

Although I'm not a religious person, I really liked this scene from "Six Feet Under" where the gay character David (Michael C. Hall) comes out to his congregation. The part where he imagines the fellow churchgoers applauding his speech flashing quickly to the reality of the dead silent church is really powerful and speaks volumes about our society:

Six Feet Under - David's speech about homosexuality - YouTube

 

Here are links to the videos I found on Youtube the night before I came out to my parents that gave me the impetus to come out to them. I really identified with the guy that made these in that I'm also a non-stereotypical gay guy too. The videos where he interviews his parents about their reactions to him coming out are amazing and I hope they inspire others on EC in their coming out process. Scott, if you happen to be on EC and read this, thank you so much for making these videos!

Each of these links is for a different video--the label is the same though on these links since they're all off of the same Youtube channel:

And now that I have figured out how to do a proper video, here are two I did as uRL previously:

Tim Minchin is great!

Can't find the movie online, but it is a very good one; I probably wouldn't have begun to question without it.
