Coming out: Gay son to religious parents
Coming out as gay to religious parents is a daunting experience. I grew up in a Christian ‘cult’ closely linked to the Brethren movement. When I came out my family chose to disown me. This video is more of an artistic piece related to how bad things got and how it gets better.
It is aimed at two audiences:
Firstly, the parents and families of LGBT kids. Your kids need you. If you are confused or worried, think about how much more confused and worried they are. If you have already reacted badly, it is not too late to tell them you are sorry and give them a hug. Coming out to your family is hard. Be there for them.
Secondly, for kids out there, who are maybe getting it tough from their friends and family, just remember, it doesn’t matter how hurt or upset you are now, things can get so much better. Even something that looks like trash can be turned into something beautiful. Coming out can be hard, but it’s always worth it in the end!
This is my first time using my web cam, making a video and posting on YouTube. Be nice :p
