We all should respect others, especially since we have no idea what they might be going through. Sexuality is a broad issue that often times has a lot of point views and contradictions. This video shows us that we are united as a group that no matter the differences that might be between a person and yourself WE should appreciate their strength and honesty towards their sexuality. Every one is entitled to their own personal space; and sometimes it might take a while to admit and be completely ready to speak out loud. The guy on the video felt alone and with little self confidence in himself but he realized that he was not alone and that all of his classmates had his back and defended him against bullying.
I urge the ones that are homophobs to take a moment to realize what this certain guy went through and its no easy task to walk in his shoes. This would be a great act of peace that shows tolerance and would soon spread the world to future generation. Although our generations are far more tolerant on this issue compared to when this first started to take place. It takes encouragement from loved ones and acceptance to walk in the streets without feeling self-conscious... I myself admire them because they make an effort to not change who they are no matter the cruel bullying, or the finger pointing or the murmurs behind their back. In general this was a very well organized and straight to the point video that persuades the audience that bullying is never an act of kindness and all this does is create a brick wall that they will soon tear down.
I think that this is about much more than just sexuality. If you think about it, it can relate to many different things form your race to your physical attributes. We have to stop treating each other bad on the basis of these things and start accepting the fact that we are all different and are no one to judge others.
ReplyDeletetrue, many people dont know the whole background on the person and judge at the wrong times
ReplyDeleteWow! Well said. I agree with you, as a homosexual I can say that I will never be 100% secure of my sexuality or at least comfortable at all times.
