HBO Documentary on the Middle Sexes study
The latest documentary by award-winning filmmaker Antony Thomas (HBO’s Celibacy), Middle Sexes: Redefining He and She sensitively explores the controversial subject of the blurring of gender as well as the serious social and family problems - even dangers - often faced by those whose gender may fall somewhere in between male and female. Narrated by noted author Gore Vidal and filmed in the United States, Europe, Asia, and South America, Middle Sexes examines the ways different societies and cultures handle the blurring of gender, sexual identity and sexual orientation. Through interviews with transgender, intersexual and bisexual men and women, as well as experts from the scientific and academic communities, the film considers the entire spectrum of sexual behavior, personal identity and lifestyles among people of different backgrounds and cultures. From this, a theme of tolerance and appreciation of diversity emerges in the film.
Homophobia - you decide - pretty music in another language, photos and words
Problems of the world. Homophobia. Fag. Dyke … Abomination against God. Immoral.
You use these as insults. Right? Do you believe gays should die? Be rejected? Get therapy? …
This world is diverse. I want to love you, but I can’t. Lies are being spread.
Homosexuality is the same as anything. There are good people and there are bad.
But, the worst person is you … the hater.
I am a young homosexual boy. Tomorrow I will be bullied at school. Next week my parents will disown me.
I am a young homosexual girl. Tomorrow I will tell my friends I am gay. Next week I will have no friends.
I am a homosexual man. Tomorrow my workmates will break my possessions. Next week I will be stabbed.
I am a homosexual woman. Tomorrow I will be kicked out of my church. Next week I will be beaten and left all alone.
I am a transexual. Tomorrow I will not find empathy. Next week I will be suicidal.We are a homosexual couple. Tomorrow we will be spat upon. Next week we will be killed.
Everyone was created equal … and everyone had rights …
Why is homosexual love so wrong? Love is love, heterosexual or homosexual.
Every day 4 out of 10 homosexuals are assaulted, either verbally or physically.
That’s 4 too many …
Homosexual youths are 2 to 3 times more likely to commit suicide than their heterosexual peers.
… taking away many rights for homosexuals …
They can’t marry … they can’t adopt children … they can’t be themselves …
Since when should hate overpower love? When should everyone judge so coldly?
What did Matthew ever do to them … besides love?
No one should ever have to go through what Matthew did … but they do.
Because hate is a powerful tool … and it destroys everything it touches.
Homophobia is wrong … not even religion can justify it’s horrors.
Erase hate … and kiss goodbye to homophobia.
Erase the hate. You can make a difference.
