my parents are from china and this is exactly what i have gone through and am going through right now. i need more relatable films like this
Zheng be strong, love yourself, be yourself! its your life and family isn't always blood. Friends can be more family when the relatives ever could be. I am proud of you. When you need someone to talk, you can write me on whats app or something else. I am here 💕🏳️🌈
Zheng i can be your friend then😭
Don't worry it's gonna go by so fast (the bad stuff) you won't even feel the time.
It's hard but if you stay yourself you should be just fine. you are gonna go threw alot of pain,sadness,tears but trust me you will be fine in a quick amount of time.
😢😢😢
Be strong. ❤️
I’m bi. I came out my parents told me I was wrong and that I am a confused liar. We used to be close now the trust is severed. This film hit home in so many ways, especially getting caught in a pride group by parents. Not fun, but people aren’t alone. And this reminded me of that as I was weeping through it !
Vicki Stouraitis Hi. as long as you are happy just stay what you are. your happiness is the most important thing in this world. life is too short! enjoy and be free😊 . anyway, im also bi too.
Vicki Stouraitis me too 😃😃😃
Me too 😔
The same thing happend to me..😔😒
Why your so cute?? 😍😍😍 notice me! i hope we have both free time to talk
Well that was sad.. she has a lovely, very patient girlfriend.
The protagonist in this film reminds me so much of myself. To be honest, I have the same reason why I’m scared to come out. Thank you for making this... it reminds me that I’m not so alone
Who's to say the mother isn't the protagonist? We get the same amount of scenes with her too. (I'm not saying against what you're going through or the comment on the video, it's just a thought that suddenly popped in my head.)
I love how this didnt have a happy ending just like every other lgbt coming out video ive seen. This is real life. It aint no fairytale. Its not always gonna have happy endings, people arent always gonna accept who u are and thats ok. Even if ur own parents are in denial. The only thing u can do is to move on from them. U cant live in the past.
Exactly why I loved this short film as well. It’s a slice of life. It’s realistic. And as an Asian who’s part of the LGBT community, it’s refreshingly relateable.
Story- good
Directing-good
Acting- superb!
Kudos to the people behind this film! This is a masterpiece!
Hotel-trivago
One of the best and most realistic lesbian/LGBT short films I’ve seen on RUclips.
This is exactly what Indonesian parents would do. Telling that they love their children no matter what, but trying to ‘cure’ them because they believe being gay is a sin & embarrassment for the family. No wonder so many people live double life instead of letting people know who they are.
I am rarely lucky Indonesian because my mom accept me the way I am. She said whatever makes me happy, just go with it.
@@Missisippy wow u are so lucky
Same thing happened to me, I even hated my mom for forcing me to meet a psychiatrist. She thought I went nuts. Now she doesn't think like that anymore but she just pretend that I'm not gay. That I just haven't meet "the right guy"
I'm Indonesian and I told my mom and she was like "boom" ;-;
Im the unlucky one too 😂😂 its ok to be indonesian tho, its hard to live here as a lesbian/gay
Grabe "hahanap tayo ng doctor,psychiatrist...di naman kase sakit ang pagiging bakla o tomboy..sad reality😢
Pero buti nalang i am so lucky to have a mother like my mom😊😇 ganyan then pagkasabi ko,."ma im gay".. At ang sarap sa ears ng sagot niya,." Alam ko na anak simula ng bata kapa,at tanggap kita dahil mahal kita at anak kita ako nagpalaki sayo at alam ko bawat kinikilos moh"😢😘 Awwhh,.im so blessed to have a mother like you mama😊😘
I feel so sad that so many lgbtq people have to go through this exactly same thing. I stand with all of you and hope you all have someone in your lives who supports you and gives you love no matter what! Lots of love to everyone ❤️
Thanx 4 that comment cuz it hits home 4 me cuz im bi
Esther B thank you so much. This film reminded me of what happened of me so it hits hard
This is so well acted, its heart breaking 🖤
Ang galing ni atiii kaiyak
I was 9 years old when I had my first girl crush at school which is my student teacher. Few years after during my 3rd-year high school I had a deep feeling with my friend(a girl) and that time I realize I’m not straight. I said to myself that my parents have the right to know about me but I have to plan it well if I’ll tell them. I had to make sure I’m in perfect timing. It took me 12 years of waiting and planning to tell them I’m a lesbian. I had to make sure I have my own job to sustain myself and my own place to live in case they will hate me and want me out of the list of their beautiful children, then I know I can live by myself 😂😂😂. I cried when I told them the truth. We were emotional but surprisingly they accepted me with no questions.
This short film is a reality here in the Philippines. I am lucky my parents are open minded to accept the reality. I pray for those who are scared to come out. I pray for those who were not accepted by their family. One day everything will be in the right place. Never change yourself just to please anyone because even how hard you try to be straight, the truth will always come out even how many times you try to deny it. Many of us are here to support you.
👊🏼👊🏼🌈🌈 #labanlang
Good for you...
Ukz Pevensie wowww just woww😱
I feel very fortunate because when I came out to my parents they accepted me wholeheartedly. My mom even said “We can’t do anything about it, instead of making a big deal out of it we’ll just accept it.”
I feel sad for other LGBT members who gets abused, disowned or whatever else for having the courage to come out.
I hope you all stay strong. We should all stay strong in this full of discrimination and judgement World of ours. 🏳️🌈
Butch lesbian here, came out to my parents at 12. This made me cry, and I haven’t cried in years. Outstanding acting.
Parents have their own ways to accept this kind of truth. Luckily, I have an amazing parents who are super strict and straightforward at first. I was so afraid to tell them about my sexuality and I was hiding from them for years. Cuz I thought they've would killed me or punished me for being gay. I thought I will make them feel ashamed and embarrassed because the people known my parents have really high respect for my parents. So its really stressful and too much pressure. I promised to myself that I will keep the secrete till the day I die. I still remembered the day my mom found out the truth from my social media (from my aunt's), I was sleeping and she woke me up and asked me about what my aunt had told her. I was shocked, terrified and dead while she told me "It doesnt matter other people think about me or her or the family, I am her child, and that all matters." I could never forgive myself because I didnt trust my parents at first. So sometimes, its really hard to find out that your parents are going to accept you or not. Now I'm living with my girlfriend over 3 years, and my parents totally love her too.
P.s: I am Asian :)
Congratulations :)
Wendy chen your story + the end of the short film made me cry
This is the saddest and the best lgbt short film I've ever seen in my life! Ang gagaling nung actors!!
Camren 💕
yess 😍❤
camren is reallll😍💞
I'm bisexual and my mom abused me physically and mentally. She even told me that I need to go see a doctor because I am not thinking right anymore. Me and my mom aren't that close anymore like we used to. There's a barrier between us now
😢😢😢😢
I loved this film. One short film that I will never forget now. The acting was great, the directing was brilliant. It showed real life scenarios for each different character in this film. Such a plot twist thinking the mother was accepting her daughters sexuality but then to bring up conversion therapy. The way I see it at the end is that even though she does not have her mother's support, she has her girlfriends' and many LGBTQ members willing to bring her in with open arms. The way she increased her pace at the end showed how she would rather walk this road alone then to have someone who is not willing to walk with her.
For everyone who is not out yet/or is in a toxic situation here is one quote that stays with me forever "You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick"
YOU control your own happiness. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Keep trying and goodluck!
My gf is filipino and i love her parents but i fear for her if/when this happens
Its all about how you handle when it happens😉
Hi 😊
😔
rachellebelle damn, ldr. I hope you guys are doing good so far.
hi!!
Such one decent and raw-made filipino LGBT shortfilm. From directing down to the cinematography and everything else in between are all the feels we needed. This by far is absolutely the coolest and most poetic filipino LGBT shortfilm I've seen. I'd fall in line to see more! :)
This literally made me cry. I’m a filipino too, I’m bi sexual and I haven’t come out to my parents yet, I asked them how they feel about the lgbt community, and it hurts like hell to hear the sickening words that left their mouth. I just hope I could get it through their head that I’m still me, and this is the way I am.
I hope they accept you just the way you are and not the one they want you to be
Sad😭
The fact that they are also Filipino. I relate way too much. as someone who grew up in the Philippines, and am surrounded by Filipinos, i feel the stigma of being gay or bisexual really strongly here, even if I’m in the United States. I love this so much :)
Thankful ako kasi nung sinabi ko sa pamilya ko specially kay mama ko na bisexual ako. Agree siya, Puso ko naman daw to. Tanggap niya na rin na baka hindi na ako magka anak sa future hihi Kahit na nawirduhan siya sa pinakilala kong girlfriend ko, Kasi long hair kami pareho naintindihan niya pa rin. And 3yrs na kami and so far so good. 😊
Sana lahat
Hi... Suzette
Cn i know ur viber no
sana all 😢
Sana lahat
First of all, I’m so glad I didn’t need the captions to understand the story so WOOHOO for being bilingual. And man watching this brought back waaaaay to many painful memories about when I came out to my mom. She said the same things, “do you need to speak to a psychologist “ and “you don’t know what you’re talking about, you’re going to change.” I know my mom loves me, but sometimes it’s difficult to remember when someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally tells you to be someone you’re not. Anyway, great short film! It really touched me.
Hoping that there will be a part 2!! 💕 Applause for the cast.. Director and others who help this amazing short film! ^^
I'm lucky to live in Canada where same-sex marriage is legal and people can openly practice their sexual orientation free of bigotry and persecution. Sure there are people who will always judge but for the most part, you are free to be who you are and love who you want. Philippines, as a predominantly Catholic and conservative country, still has a long way to go. There's so much hate and intolerance towards LGBTQ that gay people live so far down the closet for fear of being harassed and disowned by their family. That's no way to live. That is why I will never go back there, and I'm not even gay. Kudos to the makers and actors in this film. Very well done, guys. Be proud.
Thank you so much for that. It's the reality for many of us. There's the fear of coming out and also the aftermath of many. In the end, I hope everyone truly finds their inner strength and love, and in turn, be able to be with who they want to be with, without fear and uncertainty.
I appreciate this film. Everything about it is AMAZING! I loved every bit of it!~~
There should be a part 2
Yes!!! I want to see if the mum changes her opinion and what happens if she finds out about her girlfriend And if she does change her opinion what would she say to the kid in her class. I need to know
Normal yan sa nag-oout yung may times na sarili mong magulang di ka matatanggap kung ano ka talaga but eventually pag nakikita nilang dun ka masaya at dun ka nakakaramdam ng freedom matatanggap din nila. Just like me,may times na nakatikim ako ng suntok sa tatay ko kasi di nya ko matanggap pero dumating yung time na sumuko na din sya kakabago sakin. Hindi naman natin ginusto maging ganito so bakit may mga taong sadya tayong hinuhusgahan? If they just put theirselves in our shoes siguro maiintindihan din nila tayo. Just don't be afraid of who you are. Matanggap man nila tayo or hindi it doesn't matter as long as you're happy and nakakatulong tayo sa society. Being straight doesn't make you less sinful. So be proud and at the end of the day. Love wins! 🌈
Reality talaga.. ang sakit lang talaga kapag tibo or gay or kabilang ka sa lgbt community na hindi ka tanggap ng magulang mo. .good for the other na tanggap sila. pero pano naman sa hindi?? kasii hindi naman nila sinadya or ginusto na maging ganyan sila.. .kaya yung iba na dedepressed na at nag dedesisyon nalang na mag suicide. ..yung iba natatakot na umamin kasi baka itakwil. ..yung sakin lang hindi naman nila sinandya or ginusto sadyang yan lang talaga yung naramdaman nila.sana pantay nalang lahat.sana wala nalang descrimanation.kahit ano pa gender mu okay lang naman importante wala kalang tinatapakan na tao ..thank you po sa pag appload ng vedio.. .
😣😢😭
ang sakit nga eh 😥
I feel you.
I accidentally came out to my parents and they didn't take it well. I was brutally hurt with what they said and my mom almost slammed the bible in my face. They hurt me physically and emotionally while going on what did they do wrong as parents or what did they lack on doing because I turned out like this. I'm bi and I'm proud of it. I just hope people from lgbtq+ won't have to go through like what i did. I now have a boyfriend but they think that I am "better" that I'm straight it's actually bullshit.
This was nicely pieced together. Coming out to one's parents could be the toughest to deal with. I'm just lucky my mom was so accepting of who I was. To those who are struggling, I know it'll be hard but just be steadfast and be true to who you are without forgetting to continue on loving your family. In time, they shall understand.
This is the opposite of what happened to me. My parents were very happy when I told them the truth two years ago. 17 now. I'm grateful that I have an accepting and supporting family.
This is reality, every bit of it! Kudos to everyone behind this short film.
This made me ball my eyes out for 13 minutes straight. It was so amazingly made and acted. It's crazy how much someone can put all your worst nightmares into such a short amount of time. I don't really have anyone to lean on like how she had her girlfriend. I have many gay friends, one I even came out to before almost anyone else. She's always super busy and doesn't have a lot of time to text back. It's hard not to blame yourself for everything especially when you have no one to talk to. I came out to my two (straight) best friends but it's hard to talk to someone about stuff like this when they haven't gone thru it themself
Her girlfriend is a good one.
Tangina. Reality sucks. This is exactly what my mom said when she found out I'm gay. Haha.
There is a world filled with other people who love you for who you are. Everything will be okay :)
my mom said the exact same thing too, you are not alone
Kaya ako natatakot e
same
nia same :(
Great job Margo!!! Happy Happy Pride....Be Good To Yourselves...Treat Yourself. THANKYOU, for making this film....I’m Italian/French. Parents not happy, nor supportive. I married, had beautiful children, divorced.....children grown into respectable caring adults....now, I can BE ME!!!
Reminds me of what happened to my gf when she told her parents about her being bisexual. And I feel like the same thing will happen if tell my mom about it..
Sad reality but in the end love will always win. 🏳🌈❤
Always 😊
I saw myself as Alee. That's what i know I'm going to face. Sometimes it's better to hide it than to share your true self to ones who are closest to u. It hurts less.
Awww, this is so relatable! This made me cry! And this is so true, and i'm a Filipino too. And my mum might be like this when i come out to her. As well as my dad too.
thank you for making this. i'm glad the commenters are so brave to share their stories.
Thank you for making this video. I am scared of the same reason. I acaully cried when the mother was hitting her. Again thank you for making this video. Please make a part 2 I want to see more. And in the part 2 can you make the mother and daughter relationship get better.
Ive heard worst .. Like masusunog kaluluha ko.. Stuff like that.. I remember telling my mom that im gay.. I was drunk .. I couldnt tell her when im sane..Up untill now im still hearing those lines ..Echoing in the back of my head..its been 11 years since i came out.. Really this made me feel so real.. Great video..
Im Arrah .. A proud lgbtq
Wow nagbasa ako ng comments at ni isa wla kong nabasa na negative about this short film wow just wow
Btw you did a great job here guys WE REALLY NEED A PART 2
Well I'm filipino, I'm not out as bisexual but I think all students of our school and my family feels and knows, I'm really afraid to go out but man I don't see the point of going out and telling everyone, my dad would always ask me if I like girls or guys and my mom would also ask the same question sometimes and I wouldn't answer cause they're my parents why don't they find out themselves, some students ask me that question too but like I do to my parents i don't answer the question cause man I hate when people ask me a question that is so obvious, I walk like a guy, I dress like girl or sometimes like a guy depends on my mood hahaha, and lastly I watch this kind of things. 😂😂
Okay so this one is true blue BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN PONDERING for Yooonks! But my story goes like this.
1. I'm still "uncertain" about my preference bc most probably i'm a pop tart, despite the fact that i'm obsessed with USwomen'ssoccer, love Mary Lambert's "She Keeps Me Warm", has a collection of gxg stories on wattpad and other unimaginable gay stuff on her phone lol. But on the other hand i dont wear tomboy nor feminine stuff. It's like i'm in between, idk it really depends.
2. Or maybe bc the fuggin universe always manage to fuck up my life like making me question my sexuality every now and then.
3. For the last two years, my parents, specifically my dad, suspect and interrogated me thrice if i'm gay but all i do is to laugh it off and then casually saying "No dad hindi po"
4. Eventually, my sister decided to join their interrogation committee (and that's bc i caught her using my phone once without my consent, and boom wattpad library is on screen exposing my gayness so yea that happened. 😐I know it was stupid.
5. Made worst this year(My senior year) by my classmates(gay) who always asked me if i'm lesbian. And not just that, they friggin tease me and and my friend for being inseperable but that's just bc she is my seatmate and was my classmate back in 10th Grade. The are like "oy baka mamaya mag syota na kayo di namin alam"
6. And lastly, like what you're pointing out. If i'm gay then i'm gay. No need to come out to the world and make it like it's a big deal. No offense.Plus in my situation, it seems like there's already no point of coming out because my homies and classmates are already outing me as one so...
Nice...💪
Random Shits you mean ur afraid to came out?
My tears wont stop.. I love you derik!!!!! Im a straight girl.. But i have a lot of friends na ganito sitwasyon... LGBTQ i love you guys... Soooo much...
When I came out my mom told me that it's okay to be gay as long as hindi ako tumatamak ng tao swerte ko pala sa buhay ko
The quality is so good! Cute ng dalawa XD ClexaCon!
I cried while watching this film. I'm super relate to the character. My parents and my brothers can't accept that I'm bisexual/ I remembered my eldest brother humiliated me in the church. Saying that I'm gross and "Kasalanan sa Diyos" ginagawa ko. I was crying almost everyday because everyday he never failed to humiliate me in our home, in family gatherings and in God's home. It went like that for months. My borthers didn't go with us every sunday when attending church. This short film is such an inspiration. I wanted to share this to my family but I know I'll just disappoint them more. Up until now, they're expecting me to have a boyfriend soon.
But, the sad part is some people dont have such a patient and lovely lover, some pressure the other to come out. The reality is harsh. Beautiful Film x
My mom is filipina but she was raised in america and so was i. i’m very lucky to have a family that is so accepting of my sexuality. I love the philippines so much, and I feel so much for those pilipinos who experience this, and just know if you’re reading this and you can relate to this film, i am sending love to you from the us. mahal kita!💗 you are not doing anything wrong you’re beautiful and special no matter your sexuality, and no matter how bad things may be now, it will get better, ipinapangako ko!
Epic. I feel like I was the one talking to my mom. Ang hirap kapag Banal buong angkan mo. 😭😭
My heart goes out to all those lgbtq+ people who struggle to be themselves. I have so much hope for it to get better for everyone.
This is random, just wanted to say, that Alee is really pretty
Yung pinag-shootingan talaga ehh 😍..miss ko na sa UP los baños!
Absolutely beautiful. Visually and story-wise.
Sobrang relate.. I've gone through the same shit.. parents who can't accept who you are, trying to change you, they think you are sick..
I owe everything to my grandparents. So when they knew about my sexuality, it crushed me so much. I just couldn't unsee how disappointed they look. They kind of deny it and just couldn't accept nor understand it fully but they never verbally abused me in any ways. I just don't know what will it be like if I'll be in a relationship again. But I'm not losing hope. Love will prevail ❤️
This made me cry though. Too relatable. 😭
I'm pansexual . . . Well kahit ayaw nila sa akin at Hindi nila ko tanggap Wala silang magagawa dahil panganay ako at ako Ang tumataguyod sa kanila . . .Kaya kahit tutol Sila tinatanggap nila Kung Sino Ang mga taong mamahalin ko .
I love this short film 🎉🎉🎉
Napaka galing
Hi
My mum asked me "Do you think you're lesbian?" once in the car with me and my sister, I said "No" what a big lie.
I came out as bi and feel confused about my sexuality. And I noticed that I have gender identity issues I feel like a boy at times but then I feel like a girl all the time I haven't told anyone and i doing want pity but I have no best friend or friends in general I feel so alone.
girl same just that I identify as gay but yeah I’m hella confused sometimes too but eventually its gonna be okay! find urself someone to talk to it really helps:)
Same! Everyone gets confused, that’s how I discovered I am pansexual. If you need support, then go to a pride group. I really want to go to one, but I feel like my family doesn’t have time for that so I don’t ask anymore :/
@@yandererobin7506 same! at first i thought i was bisexual, but the label just didn't feel comfortable for me, and then i found out that i was pan!
I had a girlfriend for almost 4 years. We officially broke up just a week ago. I really begged her since last year to go to another country so we can stop ourselves from seeing each other because we both know, believe, and accept that this kind of relationship is forbidden. We actually broke up before her mother died, but due to the emotional support she needed, I stayed. She finally made up her mind 2 months after. It was really hard to let go. We kept our relationships from our family, friends and churchmates for too long. We were always together and now I'm all alone and she's lonely out there but we are still trying hard to move on. We know that it's all worth it.
Ang sakit nito. Hay. I feel sorry sa mga kailangan dumaan sa ganito. 😞 Buti nalang supportive sakin family ko. As well as sa barkada namin lahat ng families namin support support lagi 🌈❤️💙💜💚 In the end love will always win.
hard .. really sad but so true .. what else :(
I told myself I wasn’t gonna cry but naiyak talaga ako.
this film really deserved its merits since it captured what being gay would b like in other countries / cultures . pinoy parents are/can be hella conservative bc of the immense catholic denomination this shit is hard, but it’s all real . most of them will say that their love is unconditional only when that love is tested because what they believe divides them from their children . this high key gave me chronic internalized homophobia tbh
but anyway I think that’s one of the biggest issues in the Philippines for sure . it’s the heavy stigmatization and the unbelievable heteronormativity imposed on its lgbt youth. it’s always “mali to sa dyos” it’s like “palagi tayong nakakasala dahil sating pagmamahalan”. because they think it is a disease that can just be treated or cured , but there is no cure, there never has been so don’t even get me started on those fucking conversion therapy camps .
personally as a gay filipina myself, I’ve had my fair share of hell . I resonated w this except that one of the only people in my family that I genuinely love and care ab is my grandmother and I’m always afraid she’ll turn me away , that I’ll be that “kamag-anak na hindi na pinaguusapan” just because I’m gay . as for my parents , I’ve grown so much more emotionally detached bc of the trauma I faced from the peak of my internalized homophobia and learning the high probability of being kicked out due to refusal of acceptance (fact: I still never came out to them) . a lot of the times I really wish it didn’t have to be like this . it’s all the culture , why we have these stereotypes of “oh you’re a lesbian bc u dress like a man” or “stop dressing boyish bc para kang nagpapakala” or just why we’ve lost all our trust in our parents or why we suffer from self-hatred . it’s true - nakakapagod talaga.
but I guess ganoon talaga ang buhay. and we just have to remember that if we get rejected by our families , we’ll find other families- our kaibigan; we have an entire community that will stand and support us. walang susuko. isa para’t isa. sending love from my big gay lesbian heart,
I love u all
and to my pinoy gays, I love you even more
solid tayong lahat💛
This was a very good film. Not much to say about it apart from it was brilliant. Well acted, strong storyline.
I relate to this like crazy. The hitting, screaming, shamefulness. Not everyone has it easy coming out, this is a huge part of the reality. I would always dress like a “boy” and my mom reacted the same way. Now as an adult I feel I have to dress overly feminine just to prove my womanhood. My mom never wanted to hurt gay people, she would stand up to them being picked on (like the mom in the video.) but that doesn’t mean she ever accepted being gay or had any desire to want to understand.
The coming out scene when they were at home *DRAGGED MY TEARS OF OF THEIR SOCKETS*
that's the thing that I don't want to hear from my family.. that I'm sick. that why I hide it til now
Well directed and acted. Galing po! More 😊.
wow the acting is just so good 👏🏻👏🏻
It’s heartbreaking, truly. It hits home for so many people
I can really relate to the protagonist in the film because we have the same issues and the fact that I'm a Filipino too really sets the cake for me.Though I am straight, I used to be bisexual and I was scared out of my life because I knew my mum would have the same reaction as Filipinos are very religious.I used to wear boyish clothing too, I still do today. There was actually a moment where I completely looked like a boy, you couldn't tell I was actually a girl. My mum wanted me to wear a skirt instead of the jeans I was wearing, I hesitated. Half an hour of arguing later, she started telling how I looked like a lesbian and started threateningly asking me if I was a lesbian, although I am not, I still felt immense pain from what she had said to me. I was given a few minutes of what the LGBT+ community had to deal with everyday. This film really hit me hard, actually got me crying. 💜🏳️🌈
not a part of the lgbtq+ community but this hit harder than a rock. this is reality-- the sad truth
Felt this way. Never really came out. Topic never gets talked about. However, you also have to understand that parents need time too. How we needed time to accept it ourselves, they also need time to adjust and accept it. My parents took 7 years to finally accept it.
I completely agree with you. Well said.
#shrug, like duh! magalit na sila kung magalit, I don't care! Mas problema ko yong saan ako hahanap ng girlfriend...
Hahaha hanapan kita😂
haha
Natawa aq sa comment nato :)
Madami dyan, pero pili ka ng magmamahal sa iyo ng totoo hindi yung paglalaruan lang feelings mo
hahahaha aus to
Bro I feel this all the time I haven’t come out to my parents yet but I feel like this is gonna happen and I’m scared. This made my heart hurt man.
It gets better, I promise. Hang in there 💪🏽
I have an Asian crush and at the beginning it looked like the mother accepted her child. I said to myself, “I hope she’s like that.” After about five minutes, I really don’t hope she’s like that. I hope she’s so much better. But, really,
I think she already knows...
I wish you could get more subscribers and viewers, your short films are... Well, kudos!
ive only come out to my friends and a few classmates from my previous school. my family doesnt know, but i think they have an inkling that i might be a lesbianㅡ it somehow runs in the family?? hahaha. im just afraid to come out bc when my cousin did, they treated her differently.
anyway, thank you to the creators and cast of this film. tagos sa puso!
Touching story that I relate to, at first my mom was like that but she came around as time went by...now I just need to find the one...
I'm a Bi and I have my lesboyfriend and I'm proud of it 😊💕
-thankful ako atleast Tanggap nadin ng parents ko kahit papanu😊-
support & love for them !!! raise the flag 🏳️🌈❤️
some people will judge life..when parent understand well we will be same understand our own children truly..they're great gift..
Love it. Unicorn here as well. 🌈
Waaaahhh this made me cryyyy😭😭😭😭
hinde po madaling magcome out. i know people get different reactions from their parents when they did. it took me several years bago ngcome out. imagine knowing from highschool 2000 to 2004, i came out 2017 nung may stable career na ko para kahit palayasin ako e kaya ko na. i tested my parents first way back like asking them regarding lgbt celebrities and i always hear negative reaction from them kaya natagalan ako mag out. im happy that when i did they already knew and iniintay lang ako magsabi. pero alam ko na deep inside umaasa pa rin sila na baka sakali lalake ang makatuluyan ko. but i will never forget their faces when they found out they looked so hurt that at that time i wished di na lang ako ganito kasi yun yung inaavoid ko more than getting hurt is seeing your loved ones hurting. tapos may mga kabataan pa ngaun na nakikiuso lang sa pagiging bi o les thinking it is cool. no it is not cool they have no idea that for us to be happy for who we are, we have to face consequences get hurt repeatedly from prying eyes and judgmental society. it is a never ending struggle and proving your worth but despite that wla e sa babae ako masaya and my happiness is worth fighting for.
im glad how my mom accepted me who i am when i decided to come out... i know she knew it from the start but she just need a confirmation from me... to those behind the closet, there's no need to fear, parents will always be parents they will accept their child/children for who they are...
I feel for the kids with parents like that. Why can’t you accept your kid?? I don’t understand what’s so wrong about it. When I told my mom I was bisexual, it took all I had in me to prepare for something rude but instead, she hugged me and said “I don’t care , I love you. You’re my daughter” and now when someone acts offended when I don’t speak of boys or something my mom takes up for me when I can’t physically say a word sometimes. I love her. We need more parents like her. She’s so understanding and thoughtful. I wish all parents were but also, I’m here and so is my mom ❤️😎, we got you guys. If that counts for anything at all ❤️
I was cool with her Mom until 9:09.. then all hell broke loose at 10:49.
There are people in our life that make us stronger and those who break us down.
Parents can go either way...so be prepared to let them go.
I commend you for this wonderful LGBTQ+ short film.
Thank you!
dapt nanunuud tayo ng ganito sa ganun lumalawak ung pang unawa natin sa ibang gender...so proud god bless
