I agree, great subject matter and very well done! This film really touched him for me because I was sent to conversion therapy! I know those panic attacks of trying to walk in a church. I can’t do it even the thought of it. It brought back a lot of memories and I hope in some ways it helps people out there! Thank you to the cast writer Director. ❤
Thank you so much. I'm very happy it touched you, especially after the craziness you were put through. Making it helped me deal with a lot of my own religious traumas as well.
Just to say, brave film and brilliantly done for all of us out here so impacted by this subject and our experiences in our gay lives. Thank you. 🤔❤
Great work! Better filmmaking than we see in many small, low-budget films.
Great subject matter. More about parental conflict and the impact it has on a marriage. Straight or gay the conflicts the same. Happy they chose what was right for their family in the end.
Thank you, and I agree. Them being gay adds that extra layer of stress and trauma, but conflicts like this are just a part of building a life together as a family. I'm glad you appreciated it.
Brilliant film beautifully done. Loved the depth and subject matter ❤👌
So glad he stood by his promise in the end and was not bullied by his bigoted parents, it is a personal choice only for the girl when she is able to decide. I was bullied by this philosophy all my growing years that drove me to want to take my own life such was the condemnation on me, bless the young man in this story for standing his ground , i absolutely and passionately agree with him, do not bring religion into mixed relationships especially when it involves young ones!!!
Is Conversion Therapy from God? How could it be? God doesn’t hate anyone, gay, straight, bi-sexual, a-sexual, etc. etc, etc.
God is love.
God is a faith-based belief in the supernatural. Man has worshipped thousands of deities and none have been proven nor disproven, that's why faith is required. Conversion therapy is happening... our younger generations are exponentially turning away from organized religions. One can be spiritual without their dogma.
Interesting AND well done short film. I was wondering what made Dustin so upset. Then his experience with conversion therapy was brought up. Nasty stuff used by conservative "christians." Made this even more poignant. Almost heart breaking. Thanks ever so much for this. 💙
Lovely film. I know there will be a lot of criticism and judgement towards this. But this is reality.
Both parents should have a say, and the scene when they fought was very emotional.
Its great that he took a step back in that life for his daughter :)
Thank you!
The intricacies of religion are often best comprehended by those who have ceased to reason. Religion is to brain what tapeworm is to intestine.
Such a heart warming story.
Awesome. God bless!
toutes les religions sont malheureusement machistes ET homophobes : c'est, selon moi, signe et preuve qu'il s'agit bien d'inventions humaines, quand bien même certains préceptes humanistes sont très beaux (aimez vous les uns les autres). Gardons en uniquement ces principes humanistes, et recherchons la transcendance dans la beauté (musique, nature, relations cordiales, entraide, etc) et pas dans les préceptes discriminants voire même haineux des religions monothéistes
I agree. The ideologies can be profound, but in practice, organized religion seems to bring nothing but discrimination and conflict.
Sorry, but it is not true of "all religions."
If I agree the subject matter to be important, I cannot consider the qualifiers of lovely, heart-warming, or beautiful to be or at least feel appropriate in this case. This is a grave subject where in truth Justin, victimized by the conversion therapy imposed to him by his own family, is also the one that in his anger went away and accepted the 'cruising' approach of a 'suitor' whilst Tommy is taking care of their daughter. As much as I agree that in this case it is probably better that the girl should be the one to later decide upon her preferred Faith, it remains that I feel the issue at hand does not make this movie something cute or lovely, but something harsh, heavy and sad. Also, the simple fact that the setting of all of this is calendarized within the Trump-covered insurrection is making it all a grave and heavy subject within an America that I feel very objectionable. I gave the movie a thumb'-up but this is not a qualifier as per my personal taste, but only for the subject matter which concerns me as a gay man. It is a sad movie that only underlines the current dysfunctionality of what was once a United States of America, where now it is at a risky edge of failing upon the Great American Democracy project it once was. J-L.
I'm sorry, but you don't get to be so emotionally hurt when someone else doesn't want to participate in your religion.
Over-controlling parents and church. sad, very sad.
Better open relationship, enjoy everyday 🤭
Tommy, take your daughter and run.
Run away from your cheating husband, your too omnipresent family and especially from your mother who wants to pass on her beliefs to Olivia in an unhealthy way and influences you too much in a negative way.
It was just a kiss, don’t be so judgemental.

A kiss with another man...not his HUSBAND. He's a cheater!

A kiss with another man in a bar when his husband is at home with their daughter... He is a cheater and Tommy should know about this.
Tommy is the absolute WORST person in this equation. His husband is a conversion therapy survivor who has been mentally and emotionally tortured by the church. Despite that, Tommy is willing to drag their kid into a church, breaking an explicit agreement with Dustin about how they would raise his kid, just to please his whining, overbearing mother. He's weak and doesn't have the best interest of his husband or child in mind.
What a terrible person. If I did that to my husband, I would hope he would run off and make out with some rando in a bathroom, because he would deserve better than me.
It's a family tradition.
Which thankfully is changing.
