I'm 77 years old. I came out to my family at 17, in 1960. Thankfully, except for my sister, they were accepting. I now live openly in a very small town in the desert. All I can say is that if you want to live an open life, you cannot care what other people think. You can only give of yourself.

[@cyrill3000]

[@richardharries5825]

I only wish that I could of said I was gay from the early age of 10. Although I’m 53 now found it difficult to come to terms with being gay. Because of the stigma back then. I was beaten up in the care of social services. Beaten so bad there was nobody around me ( white in the care system ) to talk to in that way. That was 1980 onwards. ( I was only 10 at the time ) at the age of 9yo I was given the beating of my life. And for my 10th birthday I was covered in bruising from my eyeballs to my bollocks. They were the homophonic years of my life. I could never come out and say I’m gay. Or all my school mates would of filled me in. It was ok to talk about girl friends. But not say my boyfriend is. ( you reading this ) All I can say is you my older new found 77yo friend. You were brave to come out in the 60’s that was 9 yrs before I was born. I mean coming out to your family at 17, in the 60’s. That was a brave thing to do. However I’m pleased that your family accepted you for being gay. Except for your sister, I’m pleased they were accepting. You for being you. Reading your comments has helped me. Come to terms with my own personal problem’s. As I live in a very small town with plenty of bigots. And my own family make up most of them. And yes your correct if you want to live an open life, you cannot care what other people think. And that’s just one of my many problem’s up until now.

[@diabangical]

Plot Analysis [Spoilers] The beginning (in the field) is a dream sequence. The woman at the door is foreshadowing his suicide attempt and shows her side of it (we see his side later). In the park, Adam didn't get rejected per se. Phil liked him, but he was closeted and didn't know about Adam (also closeted). So he pulled back from the kiss as a defense, just in case. (It's exactly what I would've done). Adam didn't know if Phil was gay, so he interpreted this to mean that Phil was straight. He was scared that Phil would tell everyone that he tried to kiss him, so he probably told people Phil was gay/tried to kiss him instead. To stay closeted, he has to join in, but since he's closeted, he feels like he has to do more to prove to everyone that he's not gay. He also probably feels like he has to go even further because Phil is the only one who can tell everyone what really happened. Adam's brother probably doesn't know, and just teases him about being gay because that's just the way he picks on him (I'm not sure about nowadays, but it was *VERY* common in the 90s). The mom is surprised that he's wearing lipstick, so Adam is probably not out to his family (or his brother). But he's still being beaten up by his brother for being gay... Not knowing that his brother probably *doesn't* know if he is or not, he *assumes* he does. He tries to "beat the gay" out of himself, except he does that through Phil. By picking on and beating up Phil, he's picking on and beating up his own "gay side", hoping that it'll just disappear... except it doesn't because "sexuality is something you can't get rid of" (which is why he runs by Phil's house, even though he bullies him) Also, it looks like Phil made 2 attempts, one with poisoning (probably pills) throwing it up in the bathroom, then gets the idea with the rope after surviving the first attempt At the end You see Phil's 2 faces, he's Janus (like the writing assignment), one half in the past, one half in the future. But he only turns to one side, so that you can see the "unbeaten" side, the future side, the "it gets better" side. Also, the Alan Watts dub is synched line for line to the visuals: "Beat it into submission" > Adam being beaten up by his brother... " I beat my body into submission > Phil spankin' it And: "[love/sexuality] is not something you should look upon with regret" > cue shot of Phil.... "it is only something regrettable if you didn't know how to take [love/sexuality] when it was time" > cue shot of Adam. The painting looks like a mask, a broken mask with its eyes closed. Masks are used to hide your face, but you can usually see out through the eye holes. The eyes of that mask were closed. Nobody could see in, and he couldn't see out. It's a symbol for him feeling not just "disguised" but trapped, he can't see a way out from behind the mask, and (he thinks) nobody can see "the real him" behind it. I think Mike is a symbol for love/sexuality. It's something you can't get rid of, even when you want to. I think he's also a callback to when things were worse. "It's already gotten better from how things used to be" He's the "back in my day" guy, despite not saying a word. Brilliant piece, but "too real" for me to be able to go to bed any time soon. I gotta shut down on a more positive note

TheColleenSingsStuff Yes. The bully was gay as well, but was petrified of his sexuality, so he took out all his frustration on Phil. Obviously that's not the right thing to do, but remember the bully was scared of being gay because of society's reaction to homosexuality. So the real villain is homophobia.

I ran into that with two friends, two different times. Alone, each was the perfect boyfriend. When we were out in public they were complete idiots. That's a problem with not being completely out.

[@factbeaglesarebest]

+nOnOy borbun i agree. although, this is entirely based off of my own experiences, when he denied the kiss.. i almost felt more sory for the bully... I feel more empathy towards that fear and loneliness, related to rejection and fear of never finding someone... If someone, who was also gay, rejected me in that manor in high school... idk maybe i would have reacted the same away.. i've spent to much time feeling as though i'll be alone forever... fear does wierd thigns to people... the kid in this story came out to obviously another gay kid, and was embarassed. I'm not defending bullying. I'm pronouncing an aspect of gay teens that is ignored in a lot of comments here. The bully came out first, was rejected, and surged into fear... I can't imagine. I never came out in high school. Instead i found solace in drugs. It ruined my life. I only ever wanted that guy (how many times i caught feelings for a guy) who i could come out with. I never feared being a gay person, just being gay alone... It's very touching to me because I feel attatched to both characters... Im several years out of high school, but this brings be back, reminds me of how my reaction to my sexuality hamstrung me. If we (gays) could just be ourselves, we woldn't be driven into these various ways of coping (depression, anger, victim, bully)... It's not fair to blame the consequences i've faced in my life based off of my reaction to the consequences i've faced in my reactions to my experience of my sexuality, but it's most certaintly fair to examine the fact that future generations could most certainly be spared my life's (i'm 21 very young but in tihs stage of my life i can see where i am effected from this) consequences by changing the way that sexualtility changes, moulds, and creates young men/woman

14:15 I really feel his type of crying. When you feel like crying deeply, but you can't at all. You just flex your lips and close your eyes. You can't cry as usual, because you have lost a big matter; be it your feelings, dreams or a person you care about. Maybe you lost them for that moment or for eternity. At least you feel that way. That's extremely relatable for a mentally unstable gay boy, or anyone.

[@EquinoxxHerps0470]

The amount of emotion and meaning this video hold is so powerful. So powerful. It makes you feel so bad for realizing the world you live in and how it's affected by you. When in all reality, how many of us are actually standing up for the person in the most pain? How many of us are willing to put our life out on the line? It all starts with acceptance. If everyone accepted that people have the right to like who they like and be attracted to who they may be attracted to, there would be so much less hate. I'm honestly a very neutral person, but when it comes to this, I see no point in all of the hate that is spread around... It's sad, but that's why we need people who will stand up for rights. People who will put their life out there for something they believe. These people are rare, but they do exist. But so do the people that believe everyone is different and their problems and life shouldn't affect their own.

Dear Lee, it’s saddening to read about your situation in your adolescence. At least I hope, that life developed more positive after that struggle! Have a wonderful day! 😉

[@leegolden7435]

@@cyrill3000 Thank you. I now write LGBT novels under the pen name Cameron DeCessna and some of them address the struggles of gay teens. One, in particular, Clay Parker, Growing Up Gay in1953 is a feel-good story about a boy who discovered his nature in a most difficult time. It has a happy ending. I publish with Amazon/Kindle.

Realmente amei o final, e o filme em geral retratou o que vem passando e com o tempo, e a sociedade em si continuará. Então é bom passar uma mensagem real e positiva ao mesmo tempo no final. Mesmo que existam pessoas retrodicas que não aceitam o que é diferente, existem também aqueles que te irão apoiar. Fico feliz e agradeço que tenha superado e procurado ajuda profissional, odeio essas pessoas que julgar sem conhecer. Esse ensinamento ajudaram muitas pessoas em depressão e que sofrem coisas iguais a não desistir e saber que existe quem apoia e há soluções para qualquer conflito e este com certeza não é o suicídio. Muito obrigada de verdade, feliz que ele continue viva

[@kalenvuysher4988]

in my English class, age 15, I wrote a story about a gay kid committing suicide. NOTHING was ever said directly to me by any teacher, all I got was a comment at the end of the story along the lines of " a very interesting story, being gay is a difficult issue for a lot of people. If you wish to discuss the story please come to see me". Putting the onus on a scared kid crying out for help to make the 2nd move after already making the 1st. I grew up in Thatcher's 80s, the time of Section 28 and rampant homophobia. I had a load of pills in my bedroom at the time that I took out on a number of occasions with the intention of taking them, however the fear of a painful death was stronger than the fear of the continued taunts. it took another 10 years before I finally got passed the bullying etc and came out and accepted who I was. I was disowned by my mother but my thoughts on that were if you don't accept me I don't need you in my life, that was the last time we spoke 22 years ago. I have not seen any member of my birth family in 21 years but have created my own family of those around me. I have also lost my best friend who, unable to deal with his own sexuality, got religion and is now, as far as I know, in his 2nd 'heterosexual' marriage.

I'm a 65-year-old man today. I know what you mean. I know about bullying and loneliness, hiding, pretending, listening to jokes. I found my way not belonging to any group, not expecting anything from any body, running away, I did run away a lot, I travelled a lot, I often felt betrayed. But I found my way, and never turned my back on love. I had lots of partners, lovers, colourful friendships. They're all gone now. I met my partner when I was 50 through the internet. We've been together for 15 years. What would've been my life if I had turned into what my parents, my teachers, society wanted form me when I was 15 or 20? Not certainly what it is now. I'm happy but I know how hard it was.

It pisses me off that people even listen to those hate filled bigots anyways.

[@artsytyler]

this was such a range of emotion. please adapt this into a full length motion picture.

[@matthewcriddle7123]

I think that this is such an important video to see. I’m a straight teenage boy, and it reminds me that everyone is different and everyone deserves kindness and respect and love. No matter what color, height, sexuality, gender whatever it may be. I think this happens a lot in our world today and I think we need to start letting ourselves see it and jump on it and stop it before someone ends their life. When he had that rope around his neck, I lost it. I started crying. I hope that people will stop bullying, now I know that’s realistic but at least if you’re being bullied please reach out to someone. Tell them. It’s okay to say you’re being hurt. I beg of you if you or someone is reading this and you’re currently being bullied drop a comment to me. Let me know so I can help you, or give you advice. Please don’t end your life!! Something that’s always stuck with me is “it maybe a part of your story but it doesn’t mean it’s the end.” I love that quote so much because I went through junior high being bullied for having long hair and I always sat alone at lunch, no one ever talked to me. I was all alone. I got depressed I didn’t get suicidal but I was really depressed. Then one day someone random person gave me a compliment. And it changed all of me. They shortly after that became one of my best friends and we are still friends to this day. I have given myself a challenge to make a new friend each day. So all I do is say hello to someone or smile or give a compliment and I’ve seen it really makes the other person so happy. Or like when I’m driving home I’ll let someone cut in-front of me cause they’ve been waiting for a while now and so I smile and wave.”In a world where you can be anything… be kind.” That’s a popular quote I really like. Please be safe, be kind stand up for each other. Be a peacemaker. Show people who you are, if you’re gay be proud but be kind, If you’re trans be proud but be kind, if you’re straight be proud but be kind if you’re lgbtq be proud but be kind, if you’re just here living your life be proud but be kind. You can change a life, look to those who are different with an open heart and mind. ❤️

There are girls who are more like boys. There are boys with more than one X chromosome. There are girls with a Y chromosome. There's a lot of variety out there. A lot of people are afraid to show who they really are because there are also a lot of people who out of fear will punish and hurt them if they appear to be breaking the rules about what is supposedly "normal." If someone fears someone who is different then he should ask, what is it about myself that makes me so afraid of someone else who is different from me or who doesn't conform to "the rules."

[@EverAppl14]

Heartbreaking and so well conveyed. As someone in my late thirties, I just want to let teens and kids know (and even adults) that if things feel empty and hopeless, it is never the entire truth about life- it's just what we might be surrounded by in that moment. Life has the horror and loneliness and misery we endure, but it also always has everything else, too. Love, comfort, joy, exhilaration are there for you, but sometimes we need to really reach hard and seek those things out to balance out the bad stuff, because the bad stuff is so effortlessly impactful. That's a survival mechanism- your brain makes it easy for you to see what's dangerous or threatening and become overwhelmed by it, because avoiding dangers keeps us alive, so bad stuff will always FEEL insurmountable. It's okay to feel hopeless and it's okay to hate the pain you're going through, but there will always be other possibilities waiting for you in the future, and you deserve those possibilities, especially if you're suffering now. It can feel impossible to wait for or reach for those better things, but it's not really impossible. That feeling is an illusion. There will be beautiful moments, beautiful times spent with people who love you, and there will always be another day and a chance to feel something that isn't agony. Don't give up. The worst times are often the ones when things can only improve the next hour or the next 24 hours. Find something positive and distracting to get through the next few minutes and then the next few after that. Even if you feel a resistance to it at first, it can help you feel less trapped for the few minutes or hours you need to make it through those worst moments. You are valuable because you make the world matter more simply by living and experiencing it. Some people are limited and lack the capacity for empathy or understanding- but not everyone. You will get past those limited people if you keep going- they are temporary. Especially if you're young, things will get better because after high school you get more control of your life and you can choose where to go and what to do. It becomes easier to reach for what you need and meaningful experiences become more attainable. If you aren't safe now, then hold on because you deserve safety and you can find it in time. There are freedoms waiting for you out there in the wide, wide world. It does get better, and there are people who will care about you and hold you who you haven't even met yet. We need you in this world, because we need people who understand pain and have an evolved empathy for others as a result. That makes you uniquely suited to make the world better, just by being you and connecting with others like yourself. No matter how stuck you feel, there are always always always people in the world who can help you, because the world is absolutely gigantic and imponderably full of options and choices- at some point, someone out there will have new or different options to offer to you. If you feel like giving up, it may feel equally hard to reach out for help, but why not try waiting for help if you really feel that you're out of all other options anyway. And if you can't today, maybe 4 hours from now or tomorrow it will feel a little bit easier to figure this stuff out. Give yourself the gentleness you deserve, give yourself time to regroup your thoughts and heal, give yourself a fighting chance. Our brains process grief for us while we sleep, so it does not require any effort to feel a little better tomorrow or the next day or the day after that. We need you, and I believe in you, even if we will never meet and I'm just a whisper into the void of the Internet. Take heart, dear one. There is more in this world for you because the universe is infinite.

[@hamoushi151]

For those looking for the Narrators words - it is Alan Watts. Ignore the grammar :) "The physical world is transient; it's impermenant, it falls apart. And bodies that were once strong, smooth and lovely in youth begin to wither and become corrupt and turn at last into skeletons to the degree that you identify yourself with the body, and with the pleasures of the body. To that degree you are simply going to be something that is sucked away in the course of transiency. So therefore hold yourself alouf. Keep your mind like a mirror; pure and clean, free from dust, free from flaws, free from stain and just reflect everything that goes on but don't be attached. You are an irrational soul, in-charge of an animal body. If you belong to the old fashion school, you beat it into submission. As St Paul said, "i beat my body into submission". We are all falling apart in some way or another, especially after you passed the peak of youth. The very fact you see that the world is always decaying and always falling away, is the same thing as it's vitality. Vitality is change. Life is death. It is always falling apart. When it comes to love, sexuality; timing is of the essence but that's not something that one should look upon with regret - it only is something regrettable if you didnt know how to take it when it was timely, because it is after all through sexuality that we have our most fundamental relationship to nature and it is the point at which we can become most attached. There is no way of making a hedge grow like pruning it. Sexuality is something which you cannot get rid of. Do what you may - life is sexual. We get a hang up on all the various things that we are told as we grow up; by our parents, our aunts and uncles, our teachers, above all by our peer group. A lot of the current quest for identity among younger people is a search for an acceptable image - what role can I play? And the first thing that everybody wants to tell us is the difference between ourselves and the rest of the world. I can never get to look at me - real me. It's always behind. It's always hidden. And so if you are perfectly honest about loving yourself and you don't pull any punches, you don't pretend that you were anything other then exactly what you are - if you can do that, you have no further problem."

[@dominick7464]

I think the biggest take away from this film is how difficult it is for a young person to get the help they need. A teacher spotted every single sign of a child in trouble but the school was only interested in grades and behaviour because that's what makes their reputation. I struggled a lot in school and thankfully I had a teacher like the one in this film. Things like therapy were never brought up but he would always take time to speak to me and keep an eye on me. I still believe what I endured at school still effects me over a decade later and that's where the true damage is done. My life may be completely different if I wasn't bullied and ashamed of myself
