I have often asked if friends and family ever wondered what it was like to be gay, most of them would obviously say “no”. I always felt I had to explain and justify my sexuality to my friends and family because some of them just didn’t understand how I felt and how exhausting it was to live 2 different lives – one as a heterosexual male and the other one – my true authentic gay self. We put labels on people so that we can feel better about ourselves and to please societies idea of what ‘normal’ is. Normal wasn’t being gay – being gay was a sin, it was horrible, it was sick and wrong. In order for me to explain to people how it was like for me as person who was forced to hide their true authentic self – I would ask my ‘heterosexual’ friends to imagine a world where everything ‘normal’ was same-sex and that if you loved someone of the opposite sex – that was a sin, it was horrible, it was sick and wrong……well – someone finally made that into a short film, and I thank them!
Enjoy!
This amazing film is entitled ‘Love Is All You Need ? The Movie’ produced by Dana Garner and direct by Kim Rocco Sheilds.
Love is all we need! Thanks for putting a visual together for the words I have asked so many times.
