Love is all you need?

I was telling a friend about the LGBTQ panel we had in class today and she showed me this short film on YouTube that I thought was really powerful. It takes place in a world where basically everyone was gay and the majority are heterophobic. At first watching the video is so weird, because the roles have been reversed and the "what ifs" kind of mess with your mind. However, it really easily puts it into perspective for straight people who could never understand how someone could love another gender. I've always been accepting of LGBTQ people (my mom took me to the gay pride parade and let the transvestite mermaids hold me lol), but this made me understand more what its like to be bullied for something you can't change about yourself. I think more judgemental or homophobic people could relate to this video because the roles are reversed, and they know in their hearts that they could never even imagine being gay or lesbian, even if the whole world was telling them too. The story is also really sad, because the main character, a girl in middle school, kills herself because of the abuse she gets from the kids who know she has a crush on a boy. It kind of pulls on my heartstrings, and disgusts me how anyone can treat another human being that way,  gay, straight, lesbian, or whatever. meh.

But here's the video for anyone interested. I think its really good and really worth watching. It does get a little graphic at the end though, so be warned. Overall, I think the message is really powerful.
