_"The most important thing is, that you can love somebody, it doesn't matter who they are. Whether it's a boy or a girl, love is love. And that's something what is enriching. And try to get people think beyond their own immediate sphere. So that we can all be neighbors in the world, and not enemies."_ - Percy, 78 Such an awesome advice to give to the younger generations. If we succeed in follow his advice even partially, the world will for sure be a little bit better place

Kotifilosofi We need to follow his advice !! x

[@Kotifilosofi]

+:STAG: Well, if you want to read it like that :) But the context was, the elder man giving an advice to a young BOY. So it's natural to him to talk about "girls and boys" rather than "men and women" when talking about his situation. (Omg I had no idea I got any thumbs up D: )

[@DrasticEvasion]

Love IS love... Love is blind... we cannot see love, love is not an action, it is a feeling. The law has never prevented anyone from loving, it has only persecuted those (men) (because they have penises) who choose to use the back door. Perhaps the law served as a health initiative, given the sensitive nature of the orifice. Any doctor would tell you not to stick anything up there, people don't listen, and that's why you're a Google search away from seeing tonnes of x-ray cells showing the plethora of preferred items; anything from a Barbie doll to a ladle they've tried em all

+Random READS Yea :) I think that even if there was no stigma of any kind towards LGBT-minorities, it would be important to let these kids know about these issues.

I am 69 years old now and I still remember with such sadness and my friend was so beautiful and it was my fault because I kissed him on the street and some people called the police on us.

(I'm not being judgemental, I'm just genuinely shocked) Children as young as 13 are now 'coming out' as gay!? It really is great to see young people so confident in themselves! I'm not a homosexual myself, but I have been a supporter of equal rights for as long as I can remember, long before it was decriminalised. I got up several petitions in the sixties when such things were very much taboo, I was often, falsely, accused of being homosexual(despite being married with children) for doing so. People couldn't understand why I should care so much about "sexual deviants" if I wasn't one myself! Maybe I'm just a romantic, I don't know? It just always seemed so unjust and, frankly, un-British to actively pursue people when they weren't harming anybody. Good luck to the young lad in this film I'm sure he'll grow into a fine man. I hope he's as lucky in finding a partner as I have been with my wife for the past 61 years.

Sexuality is decided in the first 6 weeks of life. Se yes, us 13 year old can come out as gay. You know when you hit puberty what you will like, so i guess it depends on that.

Actually I knew I was gay at the age of 12 I just didn't confront it until I was 16. If we would live in a world and society that accepts it, we wouldn't have to lie about our feeling from the start, and we could be open about it at the exact age we get to know ourselves

Thank you for fighting for our rights! :)

[@jgr_lilli_]

I was gay as a child. My first crushes where all girls, and I started confronting when I was about 10, but I had a feeling of "this can't be it" and so I kept it for myself, maybe hoping I'd grow out of it. I only developed an attraction to men when I was 14 or 15. So yeah, I could have come out at his age, but I didn't feel like it was the right time.

Why cant they have their bathroom? You should check your privilege. Really? Is that what you kinds of people got? Like i said boy and girl have existed for a very long time its like languages and numbers. We eventually used all the same numbers.

This 13 year old is being given an amazing gift,of insight into the world he will happily accept,but hearing the fight it’s taken for his freedom. It’s brilliant

We should have more of this. There's a huge generation gap in the gay community and it really would help to sit down and learn where the two sides are coming from.

Such a wonderful interview! This is more like we young rebels had in mind for the future when we formed the Gay Power Movement back in the '70s. We've come a long way (no pun intended) since those culture-changing years. Bless you, young man, for contributing to a continuity of gay culture that was suppressed for so long. We helped change understanding and legal definitions. That's why one of the early battle cries was "Come Out of the Closet and into the Streets!" We did, and it worked.

[@duydo2125]

Being gay in Asia is not easy at all, even though society is open, the concept of Gay still can not escape the so-called traditional concept of the ancients. Gay concept was only popular in Asia about 10 year ago. This is great video !

[@han912]

In which part of Asia do you live in? I live in the Philippines, and while most people don't mind if you're gay (except for Extremist Christians), the concept of gays is still very stereotypical due to the fact that a lot of the gay icons here are stereotypically gay. You can imagine how small minded the Filipino's view is on gay people. But the gay society here is very proud and is a vastly large group of LGBT+ members.

[@1998349]

Carlo Mendoza true that.

[@duydo2125]

Carlo : i live in a big city of VN and yes i understand your mean. In Philippines they also VN ... they don't mine if you are Gay! But back 10 years ago, the concept of Gay is still new and still stumbles many old social prejudices. The LGBT community in Vietnam has grown a lot and it still growing !

[@duydo2125]

And oh ! until now ! Still, some people are surprised and slightly grumpy when they know that i'm gay. But that's a minority because they're the ones who were before

Because to those who aren't it's unfamiliar to them so it makes it not normal to be gay, and to some people the unknown scares them and or makes them angry cause they don't fully understand.

I had no idea homosexuality was decriminalized 50 years ago in the UK when this video came out, thats like... 1967. Meanwhile in the US it took until 2003!! I was born before homosexuality was legal, albeit only for a year but still! Thats rather sad isn't it?

[@tomz500]

Interesting. So I just looked up to see if Brian Epstein of The Beatles got to see the decriminalization act. It was put into effect July 27th, 1967. Brian died August 27th, 1967. One month exactly. I'd think he would've been happy. 😔

Peter Snell When i first met Roger (behind the scenes of the video) he was so polite, and caring. I am deeply saddened to hear the news 🤧👼🏻

[@MegaPeter1952]

Louis Packham Thank you for your reply Louis. Yes, Roger and Percy seem a delightful couple on the video. I am sure it must have been quite a thought provoking experience for all of you. Sad that Roger has gone, but his life must have been one of fulfilment in many ways. I am 65 next week, but when I was your age, which does not seem very long ago, I felt that life would go on forever. Have a happy life, and always be kind to others. It will be reciprocated in so many ways. Having said that I can tell from your appearance in the video that you are both kind and thoughtful, and willing to learn from the experiences of those who have gone before. Also be proud of everything you are. I hope later in your life you will be as happy as I am with my husband. All the best for the future. Peter.
