Great film. You should work on an extended version, for so much could be done. Congratulations! I am 79 years old and I could never come out outside of the small circle of gay close friends.
@@everythingtelevision813 I found this video very interesting plus it was so sad 😞 the way the father handled his own son 🧒 thank god that their all acppect him as being gay my name is Chetan I am gay too it’s not easy to come out I know it I came out few years ago it was horrible very nasty 🤢 my dad will never ever accept me for who I am my mum and sister have nice to meet you
@@chetanvinayak6799-- Chetan, I hope since you posted this message several months ago, that the relationship with your family has improved. If not, I hope you have found other happiness in life, perhaps with friends or a boyfriend. 😊👍🌈🙏❤
@@markmh835 good morning thanks 🙏 for such a beautiful message I haven’t found anyone yet my mum and sister have accepted me my dad will never ever do have WhatsApp I do
@@markmh835 hi how are you I am fine thank you I haven’t found love ❤ yet I would love to find that person my mum and sister have accepted me my dad will never 👎 ever accept me I am on WhatsApp are you
This is a wonderful short film. When I was his age, I remember pacing my small bedroom all night trying to tell my parents that I was gay. I never did, at least not for many years, but it was painful to have the realization of a part of myself that was completely tabooo back in the 50s, and in Iowa, no less!!! Thanks for this film and the healing that begins to occur between father & son.
The subject is not new, but it is a great need, even repeating, to get the large audience, in so much need to support younger people. We are losing too many to suicide and senseless end, due to ignorance and myths.
Actually all stories are repeated over and over. And this story is our story even if we are not gay males. Many parents reject their children’s choices, often rejecting their child simultaneously. And even if it’s not our direct experience, we’ve experienced it indirectly - for example through this film alone.
Another excellent short film. These are difficult to make because every good story needs a beginning, middle and end. Very often short films never accomplish this, and leave the viewer hanging in the air. So well done to everybody involved in making this.
This is encouraging. I remark often about how much things have changed. Sometime things can be horrible. And somehow we find the strength to go on. Whatever comes for each of us - remember you do have the ability to beat that horrible thing which comes. And usually it is like a bruise. It fades. Perhaps for some a scar. But it does not need to block life. When I was 49, my father told me how ashamed he was of me. His words were just one sentence. I listened to him expressing his disappointment in his son. I couldn't measure it. Just hear it. I didn't process it. Just heard it. But the real awfulness was that just ten weeks later he died of a massive heart attack. So those words to me were his last words to his son. I have processed them now. I had a lot to do practically after he died. Each of these things confirmed how much he did indeed love me. And as I saw them I saw only his love for me. That disappointment was about him. He had pride in his son as well as love. And that pride got confused as he couldn't understand what this 'gay' thing meant in these 'new days'. He was of older times. But he loved me. His confusion was something for me to figure out. Then know the truth of my love for him with great and huge gratitude for a loving father. Be strong. And encouraged. Be ready.
It's really a gamble when gay youth come out to their parents, weather they will be accepted or rejected, embraced or even bashed. It's just the way the world is. But in my opinion there is nothing wrong with being LGBT. What's the big deal - your kid is gay - accept and love them for it! Great short film by the way, and it's cool it had a happy ending👍👍
There is nothing wrong with being gay only because it's not a choice, but it is a choice to be against gays, that is why I think a parent should be arrested for child abuse if their found out to be telling their kid their bad for being gay. I think I heard in the UK parents like that do get arrested but parents in America are still allowed to do that. It kind of reminds me when slavery became illegal in the UK 30 years before America finally made slavery illegal.
We waste, as humans, so much precious life, love and potential connection being ignorant and unwilling to face and embrace reality. The Universe is at the very least 14 billion years old. How long does a human life last? Exactly, I suggest you get on with it and stop wasting the small bit of time you have on the meaningless. GREAT! film, thank you!!
Angry, difficult, judgmental fathers often raise raise gay sons. If you have any genetic or hormonal (it happens in the womb) tendency to be gay, a father who withholds affection often send their sons on a journey to fill that need for male attention from other men. My own father was such a man. He told me when I was 8 that if he thought that he'd raised a queer, he'd kill it. In 1958, I had no idea what a queer actually was, I'd never seen one. But apparently he was warning me of something I knew nothing about, that I might be gay. I sought out classically fatherly men in our neighborhood to fill my need for a man who approved of me. I was lucky enough to find fine men who paid platonic, gentle, patient, attention to me in our neighborhood. I was in fact gay. I have had a wonderful life since coming out in 1970 in Alabama. My University student body was accepting, loving, and supportive. It was a wonderful experience that set the tone for my life as a gay man. My father finally accepted me after a few years, but I will never forget my mother and father angrily threatening me with jail when they discovered my secret. I was lucky, I had many supportive friends who helped me. It was the deep South in small town Florida, jail was a real threat. That brutal rejection forever altered my feelings for my parents, I never loved them as I had. I couldn't trust them for the rest of their lives
Simples assim. Um abraço do pai garantiu a continuidade da vida do filho com equilíbrio. Neste ano um conhecido se matou. Um jovem professor e regente musical. Não teve o abraço e o carinho da família.
1. You know this is in the UK .... "coaches" instead of "buses." 2. I almost laughed too much when he was "trying to find" his phone. I mean, if you don't feel a *squarish bulge,* then you're phone isn't in your pants.
If people stop teaching there is something wrong with it people would go through all this nonsense and feel ashamed about opening up, thats another reason schools are trying to teach LGBT in schools educational purposes not about sex, which parents find it hard to understand, the amount of hate some teach their kids is ridiculous will also decrease mental health problems to.
Hi everyone I will tell you about story effect me so much and make me another one person in last year it's a my first try in college I was very excited and happy full to try my first time I am gay in I'm in hard people in Iraq but I'm don't care when I know in once time anew friend his name a hassan he was so beautiful and very cute he is laughing in all time and I'm don't think he will hurt me in any thing that makes me go to him and told him I'm gay and love he but I' was so situbed to tell him that and he Don't maintain my secret and he told onther students they are looking at me I'm dirty and they avoiding me in all time and our exams near to first term he go to the denas and told manager they are take me and ask me about that I was so sad and shy from happen this make me so shy guys Dont beleve any person and tourist about your secret because you will avoid from any other . 😢
Thank you for sharing your story Ameer. You sound like a wonderful person. You may need to leave Iraq for a safer country in order to live your true and full life and be happy. Stay safe! 🌈❤🙏
Josh has a boyfriend but his dad does not know that he is gay. Dad sees texts on Josh's phone from Josh's boyfriend, and becomes upset. Josh leaves quickly, calls some other people, and considers taking a bus to Manchester. Then he returns home, where his sister has calmed his dad. Josh is still worried but tells his dad that he is glad his dad knows now, because he hated having to lie and did not want his dad to be ashamed of him. Dad is still emotional but reassures Josh that he will never be ashamed of him. Versione italiana, da Google Translate: Josh ha un ragazzo ma suo padre non sa che è gay.

This story has been repeated all through human history in some form or another, unfortunately, the human psyche is still developing and stuck in medieval mode. One thing parents should be aware of that children are not to be moulded to your desires and hopes must they must be allowed to grow and flourish with guidance not your idea of life, but theirs, that way they can be become their own person
Great film. You should work on an extended version, for so much could be done. Congratulations! I am 79 years old and I could never come out outside of the small circle of gay close friends.
A good example of acting being more about the nonverbal stuff. The boy's eyes when he heard his dad accepting him were stunning.
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
@everythingtelevision813 Good script and the boy done well. It felt that he wasn't acting a role, always a good trait in an actor.
Terrific film. Good script, well-produced, strong actors, and it told one complete thought. Good job!

How was pacing going to tell them? Did you walk in Morse Code? And why bother to tell them at all. It's a personal thing, so keep it to yourself.
Beautiful and truthful!
Thanks for watching!
Had a really good time watching this short. Loved the lining and landscaping of it. Loved loved it! Kuddos!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh wow. Very cool film and really well acted and directed. Loved it! thank you!

Awwwwwwn, it brought happy tears🥲

That is a good father and a wonderful dad!!!
If he is a good dad then why did he sound pissed at his son when showing the texts to his son? It's like he assumes he is only gay just to upset him.

Lovely Yes Some parents can accept immediately others are to process But all goes well Love is,Love❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
Looking good!!😊😊
Thank you! 😊
@@everythingtelevision813 You are welcome.
That’s how parents should respond. Sadly many respond with cruelty:
Lovely short.
“Its Fixed Now, Don’t worry about it!” Very Symbolic
Great work. So professional and acted really well. Also lovely to see it’s come from someone who is doing the same course as me.
This is a few years old. Pretty good

ANOTHER Excellent short film! ❤ Keep 'em coming ! [Yes, a bad intentional pun...🙄] ❤🎉
Remarkable resemblance to a young Rupert Graves here.
Mothers can be quite intimidating and intolerant too.
Oh yes that is true. I watched one coming out video from Stephen Oscar where his mom treated him really horrible when she found out his gay.
it really short, but its good
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done 👏 👏

I don't want to let my father down so many time I've thought I'd be the best if I wasn't born or i die
Whether your father accepts you or not, Julio, you must live your own true authentic life. Best wishes to you! 😊👍🌈❤🙏
