Last week my friend came across this video on tumblr called Love is All You Need? It is a short movie on what the world would be like if homosexual couples were the norm and heterosexual couples were outcasts. It follows this young girl who realizes that she is different from everyone else but does not know why she is like that. You see her struggles with herself and with the other kids at school. She is constantly being teased because she is a “hetero” and a lot of the kids take the bullying to an extreme.
This video is taking what happens with gay kids in today’s world, but just showing what it is like from the other side. I think it is a video that everyone should see because it provides another perspective on exactly what can happen to homosexual people when they are bullied and just how not accepting some people can be. The video’s message is that teen bullying and suicide based on sexual preference is ridiculous and should be stopped. The video is a little long but it is well worth it to watch.

This was a very interesting perspective on such a sensitive topic among the gay community. I think we all know someone who was bullied or abused for being different in their life, so I found this somewhat difficult to watch. However, I think it is a very important perspective, really forcing you to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes. This was a very powerful video.
ReplyDeleteI have seen this video before and found it amazingly powerful and very important. I'm glad you shared it on the blog for everyone to see. I found that it provides a great example of how people feel when they are left out and constantly feeling like they are different.
