This is the sad reality for a lot of LGBTQ+ teens who just want their parents to understand they are who they are but these parents are so deeply rooted in homophobia and prejudice this is what tends to happen a lot and even with all the advancements and achievements we as a whole community have accomplished, it's still a garage reality and this happens every single day. Another LGBTQ+ kid beat, kicked out or worse killed. We've come so far, but we still have a long way to go.

@@sahilxt2688 I think that it is hard to bring a short film to a solid ending. You don't always have enough time to wrap up all of the loose ends of the storyline for a complete ending. This film's ending was great. In the ending we saw that the one guy got beaten up by his father for being gay as the bruises on his face indicated. The other guys father got to see his son's boyfriend and as the one guy held his bruised boyfriend in his arms the boyfriend told him that he loves him. It was a beautiful ending. Out of a horrible situation Love prevailed. Love wins. Love is Love!

Very strong point. This is one of the things why I find this short film so excellent. It shows that exact fenomenon so well. Basically this film displays how the masculinist ego plays an important part of the problems. Connected to homophobia is a bigger story of fear by men that they should be strong and show what they own, in general of people that they need to fit into the typical picture, and therefore that their children should also be like that as well.

i hate it when they say were too young to make those decisions. bet you had relationships when you were young. knew you were straight when you were young. (edit: think i phrased this abit wrong, i know being gay isn't a choice, thats the point. Straight people like this choose to believe that its not okay to be in gay relationships and have these feelings and be this way and that it ia s "decision" when in fact any non-ignorant person would know that this isn't true. fact of the matter is, our love is really no different to theirs and we can develop these feelings young and naturally.)

You may pay the bills but when you decided to have a child and raise it became their house also. The dad in this was a bully but the POS that beat up his son should be prosecuted and serve jail time and never be allowed to see any child he has for the rest of his life and if the mother didn't call the police on her husband then she should be prosecuted, jailed, and never allowed to see any of her children. A parents love is UNCONDITIONAL or don't have children.

I came out to my family back in 2014 and my coming out wasn't planned at all. I felt pressured mostly from my mom cause my mom is one of those people who if she knows something is up she will bug you til you finally tell her the truth. I couldn't hide it from her and I told her and she told my entire family and they didn't accepted me at all at first. It took them almost a full 2 years to do so. And now they 100% support me and also I opened the doors for my cousins and nephew to come out and I didn't know they themselves were struggling to come out as well. My advice to people is to take your time to come out. Have a plan and be prepared for the outcome cause I wasn't prepared at all. Also by you coming out you never know who's door your opening :)

This story is so beautifully told and really captures what its like to come out as a person from the LGBTQ community. It can either go really well or crumble away, but some parents come around after seeing their kid suffer. When I came out to my mom as trans, she was really unspportive at first but when she saw how much I was suffering, she ended up coming around.

I'm trans male and I havent and probably never will tell my mum. I already told her when I was a teen and she kind of supported me but not fully. She didn't fully accept it but just went along with it but without calling me her son or by male pronouns. She just let me dress as a boy and stuff. When I was 19 I decided to try being a girl again, just to see if I was kidding myself but after a while I realise I still feel male. I won't tell my mum I have gone back to "the weirdness" as she calls it

Wow! This is a very powerful film. The storyline and acting is excellent. It breaks my heart and brings much sadness to my soul to know that some gay teens still have to go through so much emotional pain and physical pain and shame when they come out to their parents. The one young man in this film had very bad bruises on his face from his father hitting him when his father found out he was gay. That made me feel very angry that a father did that to his son. That is child abuse and maybe even a hate crime! I do not know what the laws are in the U.S. for child abuse but in my opinion a parent who does that to their child should be held accountable by the law and he should be prosecuted in a court of law and put in jail. That kind of behavior by a parent is despicable and horrible and should be punished by the law and by society! The most important part of parenting is to Love your child unconditionally and to support your child to be their true self and to want your child to be happy.

Maybe this film was too short, but it is a powerful reflection on the pressures of coming out of two people of the same sex who have simply fallen in love. Love cannot be controlled and affects people whether they like it or not. I would like to see more of what happens next.

Such a touching story. Even today, it can be so difficult and painful to be out. I just watched this again and have a deeper appreciation of the war that is going on in the heart and mind of this young man, so beautifully told.

An uninspiring script about the terrors of coming out to one's parents, but the clip makes it superb by the acting of you two guys. Your abilities to capture the inner struggles: the torments, the fears, the uncertain future, the absolute need for validation from parents who ultimately come to love and accept, the acting alone made the difficult point tolerable. I commend both of you on your talents, with best hopes and wishes for your future careers.

They say a mother knows. I never let on about me being gay. I doubt that she ever knew.

Unless you got away with a fake marriage and children, she might have wondered.

@@Leftatalbuquerque nope, single until 40 no girlfriends. With the same guy now for 16 yrs. I came out to my brother and sisters. My sisters said not to tell mom. Even my buddy in the military had no idea but we're still the best of friends.
