Everyone deserves love and a family. ❤️❤️❤️ 🌈

krinkov545 hey how about you don’t click on a video that clearly brings up lgbtqia+ issues just to spread your hatefulness. Christianity is supposed to be about loving all. clearly you’re not a Christian. Just because someone doesn’t share your beliefs doesn’t mean they’re “screwed up in the head”. If you believe that then you’re the delusional one. How about keep your opinions to yourself. This person was just being kind and empathetic, and you’re just being a jerk, throwing out random bible verses that aren’t even relevant. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

If you truly love someone and care about them as a human being, than we don't ignore their dangerous behavior. We help them by pointing out the terrible decisions they're making, for their best interest. Loving everyone is of utmost importance, but we don't do it by letting them destroy themselves. Accountability is love. Love isn't being willfully ignorant and pretending that sin isn't happening.

ozayevable Oh, how clever and edgy you are. You know, it's about more than ticking political correctness boxes or something like that, I feel like what Jim Parsons and Kilowatt meant is that it's utterly boring and uninspiring to keep seeing just different versions of maybe 4 basic types of romantic comedies, just repeated to death without any innovation. All of these films are essentially the same, just played by different sets of unrealistically attractive actors pretending to be average and relatable. Give me some actual art, something clever and with substance, or at least different than all the copies of the same... Just because it's a feel-good rom-com doesn't mean it has to be completely predictable and vapid...

Too late for _Love Simon?_ Seriously? Does there come a time when it's "too late" for an interracial romance movie set in the pre-Civil War south or in the south during Segregation? What if someone wants to make a movie about women's lib? Does there come a time when _that's_ too late? "Look at the _Roots_ miniseries. Look at all the cruel ways slaves were mistreated in this country." "Well, perhaps, but this message is too late."

@MelissaBrownapt215 6 жыл бұрын

lazyperfectionist1 Actually, the answer is not a given to me. It's a fair question. However, gay sexuality is about sexual activity and to some extent sexual culture, such as codes, party arrangements and exclusive trends. Some insist that it's universally fluid, something people can choose with self-determination, while others still claim its genetic or hormonal - that you don't choose. For millions sexual behavior is in the milieu of morality, like adultery, stealing, incest, lying, etc. The movement seeks to divorce sexuality from from faith-based learning, to pluck it singly from the narrative as though it shouldn't not be there. They noticeably don't object to the other 'sins' listed, perhaps because those don't disagree with their own code of conduct. So, why should any interloper get to tell believers to omit a doctrine from the scriptures as it inconveniences as prejudices people against them? The same question can be made regarding incest, adultery, lying and others, but who challenges those? What gives LGBTs the right to undermine the church? It isn't secular, but sacred and separate from the mainstream, which protects the public and the church as well. In this case, separatism serves a vital purpose - freedom of religion and freedom of speech. Inside of a church you can discuss it from a moral perspective without condemnation.

I've watched Love, Simon with my (now) wife two weeks after coming out to my family, moving away, and getting disowned for it. It was not too late for a movie like that. Though my coming out story didn't have the same kind of happy ending, that movie gave me hope that a happy ending was still possible. My family may come around eventually but I'm not holding my breath. In my experience, we're still far away from tolerance let alone acceptance for gay people.

It’s such a joy listening to Jim, I could do that for hours. And I absolutely agree with Jim on the Love Simon movie: it’s never too late to tell stories like this and Boys in the band. As long as straight people can share their love stories and talk about their issues, gays deserve equal rights doing the same!! Love is love ❤️ 🌈

I saw the original play in 1969. It shocked the hell out of me and opened my eyes to a taboo subject at the time. I loved the play. The witty, sharp sometimes cutting one liners were unforgettable to this day.

it is never too late for movies like Love, Simon. if anything there needs to be more films like Love, Simon because that way for people who cannot relate to straight romantic comedies

Great interview and congrats to Mr. Parson's on his marriage, I love his character Dr. Sheldon Cooper on Big Bang Theory, that show is brilliant, glad his career is doing well.

So happy the world has changed. I watched my cousin live a life where he could never show the truly amazing person he was. Although his family knew he was gay and we loved his magnetic and humorous personality the truth we all knew was still never discussed. How I wish he were still with us so he could have had a happy life and openly had someone to love. Something he deserved as much as anyone. I think part of the reason I enjoy seeing Jim Parsons is because he reminds me of my cousin. a man I cared for very much,

For a certain type of gay representation, he means. Something that ticks all the usual cliched, self-imposed boxes, ignoring that we gays are as diverse and different as the straights.

so you have seen this play ?

goodwiccanwitch So do you have any constructive criticism?

@goodgaiawitch8800 6 жыл бұрын

since vera coda was criticising they play I assume he has seen it otherwise it's rather an unconstructive critic from him. also, Jim parsons point is many gay people can identify with the play. but I dont think all the gay people can be represented in one play.
