So sad. Great work, b.t.w. When my son came out, I hugged him and told him that no matter what, you're my son, and I'll always love you. He replied, "OK..Dad!! Stop squeezing me"! (yup..true story).
I wished the same thing for my son... on the day he made his confession... unfortunately i was the one defending and holding on to him while my ex- husband was trying to attack his boyfriend...
Being a gay Latino I have always suffered so much being gay and not out , only to my parents but even they would not accept it , although they do love me and they never disowned me , they never accepted the fact I was gay . Everyday I go to work I do not let anybody know I am gay , it’s something I hide from the world. Everyday is a battle I fight and I hold the pain inside but after all these years my skin has gotten thicker and I now I know how to handle the pain. I know being gay is not a sin because God made me this way , I love him and he’s loves me I know it . God always gives the hardest battles to his strongest soldiers ! and he has made me so strong !
Remember you choose your friends BUT not your family. If they don't respect and love you enough to accept your authentic self then you are better off without them.
@@mariaestherrivas4988 No one said it's easy. But if a light bulb doesn't work, it's automatically obsolete. You wouldn't hang on to a dead light bulb just because it's tough in the dark. And if what you say about the "Latino community" is true, then it's clear that such a community needs to rethink the significance of the individual, and of every individual's right to define/form their own personality. The same thing is desperately needed in Middle Eastern cultures.

I appreciate how honest this film is. Fantastic! This made me so grateful to have the parents I had. They were concerned about my well being and it being the 70s they asked me to go to therapy but in the ensuing 26 years they gradually came to accept me and my husband and it was beautiful.
The coming out of nightmares. I had it way too easy. Super understanding, super supportive parents who asked questions but reassured me they loved me no matter what. It really is one of the toughest thing you'll have to do in your life, but the freeing feeling you'll get right after the deed is done is euphoric.
Powerful. So much so that you end up hating and despising the parents for their stupidity and ignorance. But this scene is probably replicated somewhere in the world every minute of every hour. And no happy ending. Because there often isn’t one.
@@brokenomadwell either they accept u or they will loose their own son... It's up to them, follow their bible who btw isn't all true and loos son or accept and love u and remember that this world is temporary unlike the next
When the thing you care most about is "What will other people think"...it never ends well. The mom in this film may, or may not, eventually learn that. Great job to all involved in this project!
This literally broke my heart 💔. I have 2 sons. How could his mother say that, how? I'm still crying 😢. I try to understand her but it's impossible, I just can't. It's a great film but I can't watch it again 😔
I think, the creator of this thesis film wanted to tell us about a horror in life. At the same time, it's a critic for parents with "no brain" and "no heart"
Mo DeCo Im not gonna justify her but I'm gonna say they were probably brought up in such a way that they saw Gay as sin because their parents raised them that way... My own mother still to this day doesn't think it's normal but then again it took me years to love myself and accept it so I get it... But it's up to them to change... I'm coming out to my own mother this year because I'm ready and I hope she finally accepts me, I'll give her time but if she can't then I have no other choice... "Love me as I Am or leave me and let me be"...

Hola, este film me recuerda precisamente la razón por la que aún a mis 39 años sigo solo y no he salido del closet con mis padres, porque tengo miedo a que reaccionen de la misma manera, padres latinos, católicos, de mente cerrada que siempre hablan mal de los gays, cada que son mencionados en la televisión o en las películas y eso me pone muy triste. Yo no pierdo la esperanza de encontrar al amor de mi vida y poder ser libre y verdaderamente feliz, pero no sé que va a pasar y si realmente algún día les podré decir la verdad sobre quién soy y lo que siento. De verdad espero que llegue el día en que las personas en general se alegren por nuestra felicidad sin importar que esté por fuera de los ya obsoletos e incomprensibles canones que no tienen sentido y que solo han traído dolor y sufrimiento a este mundo. Cada quien debería poder ser libre de vivir su vida cómo quisiera. Todos merecemos respeto y sobre todo apoyo y amor incondicional, ese debería ser el deber ser de las cosas, no más odio ni violencia sin sentido.
This is pure reality. Even my mom cant accept me nor my siblings. A pastor even refused to pray for me when i confessed that i am gay. I'd better leave than to stay with them showing my other side if things would go according to my plans.
I completely understand and agree with you..I'm Afro- Caribbean and that was my story for a while ..but things changed eventually ..as long as i kept my private life to myself...but that was years ago..she sometimes ask ,I answer with limited info 😁💜✌😊
@@abelaquino4949 I'm so sorry to hear that..it sounds absolutely miserable😢 ..however, stay strong..until you're able( financially)to distance yourself or be less dependant on your family ..then you can create a life for yourself ..and you can control how much involvement ( if any ) you give or let your family have....it will be very hard and sometimes lonely..but stay strong, the plus is you get to have your freedom ..your happiness will come. I'm wishing you all the best..try to build a strong foundation of people who love you ..and let them love / heal your heart, you are not alone ..and it will get better...stay in touch ( if you want)💓💜💖😊✌
Point is they often come around later but the damage is done forever and can't be taken back... So to all parents out there... Watch your words! In case it's too much for say "I love you (you chose to parent so you are obligated to this) but please give me some time to wrap my head around this"
I come from a Mexican American family and one thing Mexicans do have is love. When I came out to my mom and dad, yes they were shocked, but regardless they still loved their son, me. This film is real in one sense but not complete. That's why I liked how the father hugged his son. Good work.
It's as "complete" as a story can be (when the credits roll). It is based on characters and those characters are presumably alive. As long as people live, the story can change. I think that was the point of the father's hug. It showed how, a month later he was willing to show his son that he loved him (while simultaneously ignoring the boyfriend). Still, he was farther along the path to understanding his son than the mother was. And that's legit. Sometimes it takes months and years for a person to come around to accepting. And sometimes that change never comes. But as long as we live, that change is possible.
My mother cried when I told her about me but she said she loves me anyway. She cried because she didn't want me to suffer alone and that's why she was happy that I shared that with her.
A powerful short story. Congratulations. As a devout catholic, I find it so disturbing to see hate where there should be love - we are commanded to Love!
Eventually parents come around, but if they don’t then you’re better off without them. Surround yourself with people who love and accept you just how you are. 🏳️🌈❤️ Júntate con personas que te acepten y te aman como eres. Si no te aceptan pues ese es su problema no el tuyo, ve y se feliz. 🏳️🌈❤️
Agreed. I would never engage the parents until they apologized on their knees for forgiveness. The mother is disgusting human being. God won’t forgive her.
I'ts actually surprising how many of the things they said hit me so close to home. Things like "You're selfish" and "How could you do this to me? You completely destroyed the image I have of you" are things that I've been said many times. It's painful to remember how it felt back then, even if now my family supports me a little bit more (they still don't agree with this part of me, but at least they already understood that is something that I can't and don't want to change). I guess I'm lucky to actually be in a better place right now but it's not the same for everyone so I think is very important to do what makes you happy and, sadly, if your family and/or friends get in the way you may have to move forward, away from them. It will be hard but you shouldn't live your entire life suffering and in fear for people who just "love you" when you are just the way they want you to be. You can find true, unconditional, healthy love in a better place.
Ana Muñoz I’m truly happy that you came to that conclusion! You are important and worthy so do exclusively what makes you happy! Even if it means you have to leave people behind who were very precious to you... ❤️
Eso que se vivió en ese corto pasa a cada rato... los padres no están preparados para enfrentar la homosexualidad de un hijo... siempre hablan de la "SOCIEDAD" ... Increíble que aún haya repudio... buen tema
Such a sad story, but unfortunately all too frequent. I'm so pleased that both my parents accepted me when I came out. Within months of coming out I met and introduced them to the man who would become my husband. They not only accepted him as part of the family but attended our wedding as well.
Happy Sandwich oh yes it is! I waited till my most liberal auntie was there, told my parents and because she was there my father didn’t make a big scene. A couple of weeks later it was my 18th birthday and I told my mom that my boyfriend was going to attend. She wouldn’t allow it. “Then I won’t attend either, simple as that”. Two weeks later I moved out. If they couldn’t respect me for who I am, they had no business in my life. 6 months later they came around. My parents weren’t even religious, they were just scared to death that I would have a terrible life and would die of AIDS. I didn’t understand that back then. I did exactly what my parents taught me to do if people wouldn’t respect me; I fought for my rights.
Notice it was all about HER: "how could you do this to me?". As that relationship with his mother was apparently over he should have ensured that all her social circle knew he was gay. It would have been a fitting farewell to her.
@@peteraschaffenburg1 Thank you for your comment. Seriously, I'm delighted that she came around. Depending on the cultural setting, such news does force parents and siblings to hit the reset button. But by her hateful behavior that night, and her refusal to see her son and his boyfriend a month later, her panic revolved around what ridicule she fancied catching from others whose sons may not have been as successful as her son was in high school (certificates, ribbons, medals,etc. on his bedroom wall).
Hi Juan Felipe, that was a very powerful creation. Thank you for making it and posting it. I'm hope you passed your course with flying grades as a result of this work. Right now, I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. The sad part is that there are parents exactly like these in your movie. Had they been asked, before their son told them that he was gay, whether or not they loved him unconditionally, they would have said "yes". They probably still do not realise their limitations on love. Some people never learn to accept that each of us own our own happiness and that it's up to us to travel our own roads in life as cheerfully as possible. I'm gay and I've been happily living with my partner for 20 years. During that time the world has changed a lot. There's still room for improvement, though, and I applaud your effort to help that change move along a bit further and a bit quicker. I hope your friend is OK. Thank you again! (from Australia)
Wow!!! You definitely have a talent in acting! As well as in script writing and directing! You'll make it big! Salute to you sir, from the Philippines!
Just because we think people is suppose to loves us they don't. They love their pride more. Sometimes we need to know when it's time to walk away. If or when they change their minds they know how to contact you. Until then be happy
This sadly seems all too familiar everywhere! We are an online movie production company making web series to raise awareness and show how LBGT people are just ordinary folks with similar dreams, struggles, career ambitions, desires for success, family's embrace and love, in a still very much homophobic Asian country like Vietnam. Every effort in using social media to help advance the cause for social justice, equality, respect and embrace for our LBGT brothers and sisters is praiseworthy. Muchas gracias por haber compartido este video Juan y mucho éxito para todo lo que harás!
Completely real, the way the mother makes the son feel that he is the only one who is wrong is the most real thing I have ever seen, it made me feel like I came out of the closet again.
Me gustó mucho la historia y lo negativo que le traía a sus vidas que su hijo sea gay. Y todo por dejarse llevar por las apariencia. Yo creo que en la vida somos como somos y que todos buscamos ser feliz y tener a tú media naranja a tu lado y ayudarse en todo.
Beautiful short film, Juan. I know it can be hard for some people to understand. But the way the mother calls you selfish makes her a hypocrite. Her concern is only how people will judge her and your father. Not how you feel at all. We are born like this. We do not choose attraction. Just as she did not choose to be attracted to men (like your father). It always takes time. But as much as we may love our family and want to be accepted...if this is their behaviour towards their own flesh and blood, Andres is better off never seeing or speaking to her again until she grows up and realizes the world isn't all about her. When I was 15, I told myself no matter what that if my parents had rejected me, I would never speak to them again. Love is love. And rejecting your own flesh and blood for being themselves is not love at all. I was lucky. I had parents who accepted me for who I was as long as I was happy. If this is your "true events" story, I do hope you have come to some peace and been able to move on, and I wish you all the luck in your future.
Lucky for me I have no heart and I came out very aggressively telling my parents to either get with it or get to stepping. Totally unnecessary because they were fine with it. But I really do feel for the people who need their family in their lives or that aren't able to just cut all family ties because of financial reasons. It must be so difficult and heartbreaking to feel rejected by those you love.
This is heartbreaking to watch! Just knowing how many have gone through this pain of rejection from family and parents no less! God Bless everyone standing and fighting to be their authentic selves! 🙏
Outside of murder or some other heinous crime there is nothing that would ever make me speak to my son that way. I carried him inside me for almost 10 months. I'm standing by him.
This is why people need to be licensed to have children!!!

I think many people don't realize this is still happening everywhere, simply because it isn't happening as constantly as it once did. A good dose of reality -- very well acted: it's not easy to play cruelty so convincingly.
Este cortometraje fue como ver mi pasado en tan pocos segundos. Todo por el que dirán, la falsa moral y el machismo que se vivía en la COSTA COLOMBIANA para esos tiempos. Pero el tiempo fue mi mejor aliado, de la mano con la esperanza y la comprensión. Hoy día vivo con mi pareja y mis padres son mis mejores amigos. Y puedo decir con orgullo soy GAY y vivo FELIZ. 😀😀😀😀😀
For a parent it feels a little like your child has died (with all your expectations for him) and replaced with another. It can take years for a gay kid to come to terms with his sexuality - you have to give the parents a little time too. My mother's initial reaction was terrible, but she came around completely fairly quickly. But this woman is seriously ignorant - my mother had the excuse that it was the 80s.
Unfortunately, the reaction of the parents, even in 2020, occurs all too often. It happens in all families regardless of race and/or ethnicity. However, Latino acceptance of LGBTQ people is problematic. I only day this because the filmmaker specifically said this was his focus in his project. But, again, this hateful, disgusting, virulently repulsive reaction of the mother is not limited to Latino families. I am a practicing Catholic gay man and most likely Andres and his family are Catholic. What a sad excuse for a mother and parent. And dad is a complicit lap dog. My nuclear family completely supported me when I came out to them close to 30 years ago. What makes this film even more sad is that today June 12, 2020, is the 4 year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre when 49 people were slaughtered and 50+ injured. Additionally, it was Latino Night and most of the victims were Latino. Disgustingly and shocking is that at least 2 of the Latino families refused to claim the dead bodies of their "loved ones." In one case, the father cursed and slammed the door in the face of ME personnel. W
This leaves me speechless 😶. It makes me so sad and I don't know how to respond. I just can't relate to this hate. For real, how can a parent be like that. Why do people feel this hate towards a couple that loves each other. The only excuse I have for them is fear 😱. I gre up with two Dads one of them being my biological father and I had the happiest childhood ever. I love them both to death.
Hmmm. I still remember vividly when I came out to my parents one night. Wasn't nearly as dramatic as that but they weren't over-enthused by it either, to put it mildly, but I think my father came round to it more than my mother did. That part of my life was kept hidden and not spoken of.
Cruda Realidad..... Jamaz se espera una Reaccion de la Familia así....El tiempo es el Mejor Antídoto al Desprecio.....has el Bien Actuas Bien sin Importar el que Dirán. 🙂
Yo no me esperaba esa reacción pero Wow que explosivo hay tantas personas con prejuicios por lo que le importa lo que van a decir los demás COÑO uno que estudia y que siempre las cosas buenas que hacemos y solo por decir que es Gay lo hace sentirse tan mal...!! Y lo mejor siempre nos quieren echar la culpa a nosotros por lo que pase después pero siempre se desquitan su rabia con cosas como la que la madre le dijo al pobre chico (No es mi caso mi madre gracias a Dios es super buena onda y me dijo la frase mas famosa si eres feliz yo soy feliz).

Buen vídeo, y pues ojala muchos jóvenes de hoy tuvieran la determinación que tuvo Andrés, pero al mismo tiempo agradezco el no haber pasado lo mismo que el personaje de este vídeo cuando mis padres se dieron cuenta de que era gay y eso me ayudo mucho a mi mismo ya que ellos fueron el mayor apoyo hasta hoy.
Es doloroso 😣 pero realidad hasta llore 😭 pero Dios sabe porqué hace las cosas no se que vaya pasar cuando le presente a mi mom algún día una pareja formalmente 🥺
Great short film..it shows both sides ..mom’s side shows that some people in this world are still not accepting this at all .. dad’s side shows some people are accepting it a little ...I can see how each are feeling about this situation: the mom, the dad, the son, etc. they all have their own valid reasons. Can’t blame anyone.
Holy god, it really broke my heart. But I think, if it really happen in one's life, just give them a time because it might the parents not ready yet to have a gay son. Just give them some time to accept you because any parents should love their children unconditionally.
Wow and we still have people that think like this in 2020? As sad as it might be to call it quits from his parents, I'd be on the first bus out. I'm 65 years old and came out in the 70's and my Hispanic parents didn't even put me thru this kind of bullshit.
Sempre melhora, você se aceitando como você é! É o primeiro passo, meus pais não me aceitam 100%, mas busco estar envolta de pessoal que realmente me amam como eu sou. Virei visita na casa dos meus pais e tenho um bom círculo de amizades que me fazem me sentir melhor. Mas tudo em seu devido tempo! Beijos e boa sorte!!!
@HW\TRT, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. If you have worried about a scenario like this one for many years then you already know in your heart what to expect. Be your true self always, but that often comes with consequences that may hurt you. Be strong and be happy. We only get this one life. Don’t waste any of your time worrying about what closed minded people think. Even if those people are your parents. You survived finding out there’s no Santa Clause. You’ll survive finding out your parents are merely human.
La sociedad no informada, la religión muy radical y la familia muy conservadora, son los elementos estorbosos, más incómodos e incomprensibles para un gay o un closettero, muchos hemos pasado por eso aguantando un grito en la oscuridad, me gustó el corto, dramático, real al principio falta la segunda parte.
Excelente, una trama distinta, muy buenas tomas, la tradución esta buena, y muestra que a veces no es el padre el cerrado de mente si no la madre. tiene mi like.
Wow, she said some hateful and ugly things to her son..all because he wasn't the image she has in mind for him. However a month was too soon to re-establish contact again...try her again in a year..if nothing's changed she's a lost cause but you still have dad. I went thru something similar ( less harsh) and after a couple of months we sat down and talked..now she's my biggest supporter ..I admit I'm very lucky, some of my friends ? Not so much..so they did a great job showing what CAN happen when you come out..but Do it anyway and be brave ...great short, sad story 👍😁✌💜💜💖
Como puede ser que una madre sea tan cerrada y maligna. Egoísta es ella que no comprende a su gran hijo. El amor es amor. No importa si es hombre o mujer.
Wow, I would have turned that dinner table upside down after that show down with mom. I don't need people who can't accept me for who I am. Still, I'm thankful, though, that my parents are slowly accepting me for who i really am.
He should have finished his dinner as it was the last he was likely to have there. Perhaps got together a "doggy bag" to take to his partner as it looked like he was going to be leaving right away.
This is really saddening and something which I can relate with. I don't have enough courage to come out to my family. If I do I am sure they'll disown me and I am scared of everything.
This really touched me....I am a "prodigy son" I always did all to make my mother happy....but I'm scared she reacts like this if i came out...My dad knows but, I'm too scared to tell my mom, I would be devastated if the only woman I wanted to make happy hated me
Alex Demian Then what is your perspective of life? To continue pretending to be somebody you’re not? A mom who really loves her son, will always accept him for who and what he is! No matter what! Everything else is egoism... I can understand your feelings and fears but keeping it a secret won’t make you happy either... because you keep on showing her what you think she likes to see, what she loves! So please ask yourself, what kind of a love is this when kids/ adults are terrified of confessing/ showing their true colors to their parents? Ultimately this is your fear! You’re afraid that at the end she will reject you which would mean that she didn’t really love you... honestly, i wouldn’t want to live like that... faking, lying... just to fit in... just to please people... Alex, get yourself your life and love! It’s definitely time to talk and people who love you will ALWAYS support and love you for what YOU ARE. Just give them the chance to let them know the REAL YOU ☀️ Supporting vibes from Germany ☀️
Wow! Hit me right at home :( that was the day I moved out and was on my own at the age of 15. I can only hope that things get easier these days because we have plenty of hate in this world right now! Accepted by parents for their faults drug use alcohol abuse and general abuse but the had a hard time accepting me for being gay! My childhood made me who I am today and that is a very successful ,hardworking lovable person that never did drugs alcohol or hated anyone!
What should people say? Is that all the mother cares about? She says she wants her son to be happy, but means happy in the sense of her own imagination ... What makes the son happy is irrelevant in her eyes...
Maybe you are bit harsh on her. I think she doesn’t see how he can be happy being gay. My mom was upset because she was afraid I would lead a terrible life and die of AIDS. In her panic attack, she used the same arguments this mom did. Ofcourse I didn’t understand all that back then. I was stubborn, had a big mouth and moved out two weeks later. Took my parents 6 months to come around, but they did. Now all I had to do was proof that an openly gay man can live a productive, happy, successful life with some bad stuff too ofcourse. Just like anybody else.😉
@@peteraschaffenburg1 mag sein daß die Mutter im ersten Moment nur über das Ziel hinausschießt, da gebe ich Dir recht, aber als der Sohn mit seinem Freund zu Besuch kommt und die Mutter ihn ablehnt, das ist schon ein starkes Stück... Man sollte meinen daß in der Zwischenzeit ein bißchen Gras drüber gewachsen ist...... "Ich möchte tot sein" musste ich mir zuhause anhören... Es wurde aber, wie bei Dir, besser, als ich ausgezogen war...
Shit.....I thought my coming out was bad..... after this film....I had it good. Parents can really mess with their kids life. Mom did come to our wedding 20 years ago....and yes, she loves my husband. Parents, if they want to, can change.
Some gay couples whom I know had babies (not an easy thing to do if you're gay) and that changed things in an instant. It's hilarious watching two gay men fussing over a car seat and a baby.
Son, you is beautiful. Nothing wrong with you! Your mother is not your God. Mother did also do the sin! Love is the most important! Be proud with yourself. I love you!
This short film was like seeing my past in so few seconds. All for which they will say, the false morals and machismo that was lived in the COLOMBIAN COAST for those times. But time was my best ally, hand in hand with hope and understanding. Today I live with my partner and my parents are my best friends. And I can proudly say I am GAY and live HAPPY. No 😀😀😀😀😀
So sad. Great work, b.t.w. When my son came out, I hugged him and told him that no matter what, you're my son, and I'll always love you. He replied, "OK..Dad!! Stop squeezing me"! (yup..true story).
You're a great, understanding and loving father. Your son is a lucky kid for having you as a father.
Lucky son😊❤️

Todos merecemos respeto y sobre todo apoyo y amor incondicional, ese debería ser el deber ser de las cosas, no más odio ni violencia sin sentido.
Ya somo dos...
@ muchos....
Parenting is about unconditional love. I will support and will not judge my children ever!
in the perfect world....
This is pure reality. Even my mom cant accept me nor my siblings. A pastor even refused to pray for me when i confessed that i am gay. I'd better leave than to stay with them showing my other side if things would go according to my plans.
I completely understand and agree with you..I'm Afro- Caribbean and that was my story for a while ..but things changed eventually ..as long as i kept my private life to myself...but that was years ago..she sometimes ask ,I answer with limited info 😁💜✌😊
@@jaguy4u2 im happy for u. im still bound with the pride of my family of not breaking what our image to others. It is crushing me from inside
@@abelaquino4949 I'm so sorry to hear that..it sounds absolutely miserable😢 ..however, stay strong..until you're able( financially)to distance yourself or be less dependant on your family ..then you can create a life for yourself ..and you can control how much involvement ( if any ) you give or let your family have....it will be very hard and sometimes lonely..but stay strong, the plus is you get to have your freedom ..your happiness will come. I'm wishing you all the best..try to build a strong foundation of people who love you ..and let them love / heal your heart, you are not alone ..and it will get better...stay in touch ( if you want)💓💜💖😊✌
whenever i hear stories like this, i just say: It will get better. hugs to you brother
@@MrBroccoliStew tnk u so mch bro. Hugs mkes me feel that im not lonely
Point is they often come around later but the damage is done forever and can't be taken back... So to all parents out there... Watch your words!
In case it's too much for say "I love you (you chose to parent so you are obligated to this) but please give me some time to wrap my head around this"
I come from a Mexican American family and one thing Mexicans do have is love. When I came out to my mom and dad, yes they were shocked, but regardless they still loved their son, me. This film is real in one sense but not complete. That's why I liked how the father hugged his son. Good work.
It's as "complete" as a story can be (when the credits roll). It is based on characters and those characters are presumably alive. As long as people live, the story can change.
I think that was the point of the father's hug. It showed how, a month later he was willing to show his son that he loved him (while simultaneously ignoring the boyfriend). Still, he was farther along the path to understanding his son than the mother was. And that's legit. Sometimes it takes months and years for a person to come around to accepting. And sometimes that change never comes. But as long as we live, that change is possible.
I think she love society more than her own son .
No, it is that she relies on her son to be somebody... She is the one lacking security and self-esteem
My mother cried when I told her about me but she said she loves me anyway. She cried because she didn't want me to suffer alone and that's why she was happy that I shared that with her.
Im happy for u

A powerful short story. Congratulations. As a devout catholic, I find it so disturbing to see hate where there should be love - we are commanded to Love!
How could a mother said something like that? This broke my heart!!! I'm so lucky to have a supportive and understanding family especially my mom..
Eventually parents come around, but if they don’t then you’re better off without them. Surround yourself with people who love and accept you just how you are. 🏳️🌈❤️
Júntate con personas que te acepten y te aman como eres. Si no te aceptan pues ese es su problema no el tuyo, ve y se feliz. 🏳️🌈❤️
I agree. That's the best thing to do. Have people around you who accept you.
Agreed. I would never engage the parents until they apologized on their knees for forgiveness. The mother is disgusting human being. God won’t forgive her.
No es tan facil... compensar con la atencion de extraños no es lo mismo. La familia es unica... Los "amiguitos" de bars y clubs van y vienen...
I'ts actually surprising how many of the things they said hit me so close to home. Things like "You're selfish" and "How could you do this to me? You completely destroyed the image I have of you" are things that I've been said many times. It's painful to remember how it felt back then, even if now my family supports me a little bit more (they still don't agree with this part of me, but at least they already understood that is something that I can't and don't want to change). I guess I'm lucky to actually be in a better place right now but it's not the same for everyone so I think is very important to do what makes you happy and, sadly, if your family and/or friends get in the way you may have to move forward, away from them. It will be hard but you shouldn't live your entire life suffering and in fear for people who just "love you" when you are just the way they want you to be. You can find true, unconditional, healthy love in a better place.
Ana Muñoz I’m truly happy that you came to that conclusion! You are important and worthy so do exclusively what makes you happy! Even if it means you have to leave people behind who were very precious to you... ❤️
His mom should watch more Thai BL Series, mom’s there are so understanding
yeah but only in MOVIE OR SERIES
Right!
hahaha everyone should watch thai bl series
Sawadee khrab P 🖤
😂😂😂
I'm so glad that I came across this video. Very well written, directed and acted. I'm sure many out there will be able to relate.
Eso que se vivió en ese corto pasa a cada rato... los padres no están preparados para enfrentar la homosexualidad de un hijo... siempre hablan de la "SOCIEDAD" ... Increíble que aún haya repudio... buen tema
We're all given a "parcel" in life. Live your life and love who you want.
DT is sending things backwards. He is planning to ekininate same sex marriage if he wins in November.
Such a sad story, but unfortunately all too frequent. I'm so pleased that both my parents accepted me when I came out. Within months of coming out I met and introduced them to the man who would become my husband. They not only accepted him as part of the family but attended our wedding as well.
Dang! He should walk out that door and never look back! That mother is a real horror story
It's not easy to forget your parents. Atleas he is trying and his parents saw that. Been there, done that!
Happy Sandwich oh yes it is! I waited till my most liberal auntie was there, told my parents and because she was there my father didn’t make a big scene. A couple of weeks later it was my 18th birthday and I told my mom that my boyfriend was going to attend. She wouldn’t allow it. “Then I won’t attend either, simple as that”. Two weeks later I moved out. If they couldn’t respect me for who I am, they had no business in my life. 6 months later they came around. My parents weren’t even religious, they were just scared to death that I would have a terrible life and would die of AIDS. I didn’t understand that back then.
I did exactly what my parents taught me to do if people wouldn’t respect me; I fought for my rights.
Notice it was all about HER: "how could you do this to me?". As that relationship with his mother was apparently over he should have ensured that all her social circle knew he was gay. It would have been a fitting farewell to her.
Mother is mother......devil or goddess...no mttr wht....💔😭😭
@@peteraschaffenburg1 Thank you for your comment. Seriously, I'm delighted that she came around. Depending on the cultural setting, such news does force parents and siblings to hit the reset button. But by her hateful behavior that night, and her refusal to see her son and his boyfriend a month later, her panic revolved around what ridicule she fancied catching from others whose sons may not have been as successful as her son was in high school (certificates, ribbons, medals,etc. on his bedroom wall).
Wonderfully done film. The acting by the main character was nuanced. Keep up the good work!
Hi Juan Felipe, that was a very powerful creation. Thank you for making it and posting it. I'm hope you passed your course with flying grades as a result of this work.
Right now, I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. The sad part is that there are parents exactly like these in your movie. Had they been asked, before their son told them that he was gay, whether or not they loved him unconditionally, they would have said "yes". They probably still do not realise their limitations on love. Some people never learn to accept that each of us own our own happiness and that it's up to us to travel our own roads in life as cheerfully as possible. I'm gay and I've been happily living with my partner for 20 years. During that time the world has changed a lot. There's still room for improvement, though, and I applaud your effort to help that change move along a bit further and a bit quicker. I hope your friend is OK. Thank you again! (from Australia)
Wow!!! You definitely have a talent in acting! As well as in script writing and directing! You'll make it big! Salute to you sir, from the Philippines!
When parents react like this to their children coming out, it’s their way of saying we don’t want you to be happy and love yourself.
Just because we think people is suppose to loves us they don't. They love their pride more. Sometimes we need to know when it's time to walk away. If or when they change their minds they know how to contact you. Until then be happy
If parents family neighbours etc dont respect and love you then they sure dont deserve your respect or love.
Bravo. Wonderful film. Great acting. Superbly filmed. Perfect. Thank you.
This sadly seems all too familiar everywhere! We are an online movie production company making web series to raise awareness and show how LBGT people are just ordinary folks with similar dreams, struggles, career ambitions, desires for success, family's embrace and love, in a still very much homophobic Asian country like Vietnam. Every effort in using social media to help advance the cause for social justice, equality, respect and embrace for our LBGT brothers and sisters is praiseworthy. Muchas gracias por haber compartido este video Juan y mucho éxito para todo lo que harás!
😢💔 Thankfully he has the love and support of Diego. ♥️
Completely real, the way the mother makes the son feel that he is the only one who is wrong is the most real thing I have ever seen, it made me feel like I came out of the closet again.
Me gustó mucho la historia y lo negativo que le traía a sus vidas que su hijo sea gay. Y todo por dejarse llevar por las apariencia.
Yo creo que en la vida somos como somos y que todos buscamos ser feliz y tener a tú media naranja a tu lado y ayudarse en todo.
Beautiful short film, Juan.
I know it can be hard for some people to understand. But the way the mother calls you selfish makes her a hypocrite. Her concern is only how people will judge her and your father. Not how you feel at all. We are born like this. We do not choose attraction. Just as she did not choose to be attracted to men (like your father).
It always takes time. But as much as we may love our family and want to be accepted...if this is their behaviour towards their own flesh and blood, Andres is better off never seeing or speaking to her again until she grows up and realizes the world isn't all about her.
When I was 15, I told myself no matter what that if my parents had rejected me, I would never speak to them again. Love is love. And rejecting your own flesh and blood for being themselves is not love at all. I was lucky. I had parents who accepted me for who I was as long as I was happy.
If this is your "true events" story, I do hope you have come to some peace and been able to move on, and I wish you all the luck in your future.
Lucky for me I have no heart and I came out very aggressively telling my parents to either get with it or get to stepping. Totally unnecessary because they were fine with it. But I really do feel for the people who need their family in their lives or that aren't able to just cut all family ties because of financial reasons. It must be so difficult and heartbreaking to feel rejected by those you love.
This is heartbreaking to watch! Just knowing how many have gone through this pain of rejection from family and parents no less! God Bless everyone standing and fighting to be their authentic selves! 🙏
🤭😱😢😭OMG love it! Best acting ever!
If I was this kid, I'd walk away from these parents and never look back. Their guilt can be their comfort.
Really? that easy for you?
Wow increíble... magnífico y crudo a la realidad. El Mejor corto
Outside of murder or some other heinous crime there is nothing that would ever make me speak to my son that way.
I carried him inside me for almost 10 months. I'm standing by him.
Que cortometraje tan real
This is why people need to be licensed to have children!!!
I think many people don't realize this is still happening everywhere, simply because it isn't happening as constantly as it once did. A good dose of reality --
very well acted: it's not easy to play cruelty so convincingly.
Este cortometraje fue como ver mi pasado en tan pocos segundos. Todo por el que dirán, la falsa moral y el machismo que se vivía en la COSTA COLOMBIANA para esos tiempos. Pero el tiempo fue mi mejor aliado, de la mano con la esperanza y la comprensión. Hoy día vivo con mi pareja y mis padres son mis mejores amigos. Y puedo decir con orgullo soy GAY y vivo FELIZ. 😀😀😀😀😀
What a horrible mother, aren't we suppose to love and support our kids no matter what path they choose in life😏, as long, as they are happy sheesh.
For a parent it feels a little like your child has died (with all your expectations for him) and replaced with another. It can take years for a gay kid to come to terms with his sexuality - you have to give the parents a little time too. My mother's initial reaction was terrible, but she came around completely fairly quickly. But this woman is seriously ignorant - my mother had the excuse that it was the 80s.
I agree with your, but let's remember it's not really a choice. You like what you like, I never made a conscious decision to like guys
Intense, amazing short film. Great work more please
That was wonderful. Mahalo and aloha! Your shorty was amazing. I can't wait to see more. 🥰
Great work man.....loved every bit......
Unfortunately, the reaction of the parents, even in 2020, occurs all too often. It happens in all families regardless of race and/or ethnicity. However, Latino acceptance of LGBTQ people is problematic. I only day this because the filmmaker specifically said this was his focus in his project. But, again, this hateful, disgusting, virulently repulsive reaction of the mother is not limited to Latino families. I am a practicing Catholic gay man and most likely Andres and his family are Catholic. What a sad excuse for a mother and parent. And dad is a complicit lap dog.
My nuclear family completely supported me when I came out to them close to 30 years ago.
What makes this film even more sad is that today June 12, 2020, is the 4 year anniversary of the Pulse nightclub massacre when 49 people were slaughtered and 50+ injured. Additionally, it was Latino Night and most of the victims were Latino. Disgustingly and shocking is that at least 2 of the Latino families refused to claim the dead bodies of their "loved ones." In one case, the father cursed and slammed the door in the face of ME personnel.
W
This leaves me speechless 😶. It makes me so sad and I don't know how to respond. I just can't relate to this hate. For real, how can a parent be like that. Why do people feel this hate towards a couple that loves each other. The only excuse I have for them is fear 😱. I gre up with two Dads one of them being my biological father and I had the happiest childhood ever. I love them both to death.
Hmmm. I still remember vividly when I came out to my parents one night. Wasn't nearly as dramatic as that but they weren't over-enthused by it either, to put it mildly, but I think my father came round to it more than my mother did. That part of my life was kept hidden and not spoken of.
Cruda Realidad..... Jamaz se espera una Reaccion de la Familia así....El tiempo es el Mejor Antídoto al Desprecio.....has el Bien Actuas Bien sin Importar el que Dirán. 🙂
Such a wonderful movie Juan. Excellent!
very sad and too relatable :(
This is the main reason I didn't dare to coming out....I nvr throughout letting parent go....but inner destroying me slowly day by day....
If your parents don't understand, well, get over it, you don't need them to survive...
Yo no me esperaba esa reacción pero Wow que explosivo hay tantas personas con prejuicios por lo que le importa lo que van a decir los demás COÑO uno que estudia y que siempre las cosas buenas que hacemos y solo por decir que es Gay lo hace sentirse tan mal...!! Y lo mejor siempre nos quieren echar la culpa a nosotros por lo que pase después pero siempre se desquitan su rabia con cosas como la que la madre le dijo al pobre chico (No es mi caso mi madre gracias a Dios es super buena onda y me dijo la frase mas famosa si eres feliz yo soy feliz).
I think his parents need to read their bible a lot more closely, word for word, instead of picking and choosing who the sinner is.
Re: the Bible- it's called proof texting. Pick and choose. Exactly what Franklin Graham, Falwell Jr., Paula White and all the other hypocritical evangelicals do in excusing Trump. He can't even carry the Bible right-side up.
@@James-sh7cn He didn't even carry it across to the church; it was handed to him when he got there and he handed it right back as soon as the photos were taken.
Buen vídeo, y pues ojala muchos jóvenes de hoy tuvieran la determinación que tuvo Andrés, pero al mismo tiempo agradezco el no haber pasado lo mismo que el personaje de este vídeo cuando mis padres se dieron cuenta de que era gay y eso me ayudo mucho a mi mismo ya que ellos fueron el mayor apoyo hasta hoy.
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
Es doloroso 😣 pero realidad hasta llore 😭 pero Dios sabe porqué hace las cosas no se que vaya pasar cuando le presente a mi mom algún día una pareja formalmente 🥺
Respira profundo... Y ve preparandola, i mean ve dejando pequeñas pistas y como diría mi abuelita: ve amasando la masa desde ya xdd
La realidad de muchos de nosotros! 😔 💔
Who cares what people will say' ur sons happiness should be the top notch
It was easy for me once I realized that relatives aren't necessarily family
Very good acting that I could feel what he was feeling it's painful and sad.
❤❤
That was good!
Very nice 💝👌✨
Great short film..it shows both sides ..mom’s side shows that some people in this world are still not accepting this at all .. dad’s side shows some people are accepting it a little ...I can see how each are feeling about this situation: the mom, the dad, the son, etc. they all have their own valid reasons. Can’t blame anyone.
whats more selfish that force your own child don´t be true to himself - forcing them to deny they´re gay
Bravo Juan :)
Thank you for the movie. Very good..
Thanks.
Nice work here. Well done.
Okay that was intense. The acting 🖤
Muy fuerte,.... Pero verdad... En muchas familias..... Buen trabajo... 😉
Holy god, it really broke my heart. But I think, if it really happen in one's life, just give them a time because it might the parents not ready yet to have a gay son. Just give them some time to accept you because any parents should love their children unconditionally.
Wow and we still have people that think like this in 2020? As sad as it might be to call it quits from his parents, I'd be on the first bus out. I'm 65 years old and came out in the 70's and my Hispanic parents didn't even put me thru this kind of bullshit.
Yes, and you'll usually find them all over the US south. Especially around areas of fundamentalist growth. It's like mildew.
@@randeman Yes if you are looking for bigots the first place to check out is the nearest evangelical church.
Jejeje.. in the 70's..
Brilliant!! Nice job in this!
I just saw my future from this short film. I have been worried about this for many years.
Sempre melhora, você se aceitando como você é! É o primeiro passo, meus pais não me aceitam 100%, mas busco estar envolta de pessoal que realmente me amam como eu sou. Virei visita na casa dos meus pais e tenho um bom círculo de amizades que me fazem me sentir melhor. Mas tudo em seu devido tempo! Beijos e boa sorte!!!
If your parents respect and love you then they deserve your respect and love.
@HW\TRT, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. If you have worried about a scenario like this one for many years then you already know in your heart what to expect. Be your true self always, but that often comes with consequences that may hurt you. Be strong and be happy. We only get this one life. Don’t waste any of your time worrying about what closed minded people think. Even if those people are your parents. You survived finding out there’s no Santa Clause. You’ll survive finding out your parents are merely human.
La sociedad no informada, la religión muy radical y la familia muy conservadora, son los elementos estorbosos, más incómodos e incomprensibles para un gay o un closettero, muchos hemos pasado por eso aguantando un grito en la oscuridad, me gustó el corto, dramático, real al principio falta la segunda parte.
I don't know what it feels like to lost a son, but i know what it feels like to lost parents.
WOW CON ESTE CORTOOOOOOO, EN VERDAD SÚPER BUENOOOOOO
Excelente, una trama distinta, muy buenas tomas, la tradución esta buena, y muestra que a veces no es el padre el cerrado de mente si no la madre. tiene mi like.
Wow, she said some hateful and ugly things to her son..all because he wasn't the image she has in mind for him. However a month was too soon to re-establish contact again...try her again in a year..if nothing's changed she's a lost cause but you still have dad. I went thru something similar ( less harsh) and after a couple of months we sat down and talked..now she's my biggest supporter ..I admit I'm very lucky, some of my friends ? Not so much..so they did a great job showing what CAN happen when you come out..but Do it anyway and be brave ...great short, sad story 👍😁✌💜💜💖
Great job Juan !!!
Como puede ser que una madre sea tan cerrada y maligna. Egoísta es ella que no comprende a su gran hijo. El amor es amor. No importa si es hombre o mujer.
What a lovely love script it was. no nudity,no sex,no unpure,just true love.Juan and Diego look's amazing together 👨❤💋👨❤✨👌💝🏳🌈
so powerful and so sad. 😢
Wow, I would have turned that dinner table upside down after that show down with mom. I don't need people who can't accept me for who I am. Still, I'm thankful, though, that my parents are slowly accepting me for who i really am.
He should have finished his dinner as it was the last he was likely to have there. Perhaps got together a "doggy bag" to take to his partner as it looked like he was going to be leaving right away.
I would watch out near you... There is a reason why parents react like in this movie. You will hit your parents?? that makes your worst than anybody.
This is really saddening and something which I can relate with.
I don't have enough courage to come out to my family. If I do I am sure they'll disown me and I am scared of everything.
👍👍❤💝
This really touched me....I am a "prodigy son" I always did all to make my mother happy....but I'm scared she reacts like this if i came out...My dad knows but, I'm too scared to tell my mom, I would be devastated if the only woman I wanted to make happy hated me
Alex Demian Then what is your perspective of life? To continue pretending to be somebody you’re not? A mom who really loves her son, will always accept him for who and what he is! No matter what! Everything else is egoism... I can understand your feelings and fears but keeping it a secret won’t make you happy either... because you keep on showing her what you think she likes to see, what she loves! So please ask yourself, what kind of a love is this when kids/ adults are terrified of confessing/ showing their true colors to their parents? Ultimately this is your fear! You’re afraid that at the end she will reject you which would mean that she didn’t really love you... honestly, i wouldn’t want to live like that... faking, lying... just to fit in... just to please people... Alex, get yourself your life and love! It’s definitely time to talk and people who love you will ALWAYS support and love you for what YOU ARE. Just give them the chance to let them know the REAL YOU ☀️ Supporting vibes from Germany ☀️
As an ally, this hurts my soul so bad. I can't stop crying
what is ally?
@@WorldEye88 an ally in this case means a person who isn't LGBT but stands up and support for the LGBT Community
@@RemmyDuchene I'm not sure I understand what LGBT community is. What is that related to the movie?
Wow! Hit me right at home :( that was the day I moved out and was on my own at the age of 15. I can only hope that things get easier these days because we have plenty of hate in this world right now! Accepted by parents for their faults drug use alcohol abuse and general abuse but the had a hard time accepting me for being gay! My childhood made me who I am today and that is a very successful ,hardworking lovable person that never did drugs alcohol or hated anyone!
What should people say? Is that all the mother cares about? She says she wants her son to be happy, but means happy in the sense of her own imagination ... What makes the son happy is irrelevant in her eyes...
Maybe you are bit harsh on her. I think she doesn’t see how he can be happy being gay.
My mom was upset because she was afraid I would lead a terrible life and die of AIDS. In her panic attack, she used the same arguments this mom did.
Ofcourse I didn’t understand all that back then. I was stubborn, had a big mouth and moved out two weeks later.
Took my parents 6 months to come around, but they did.
Now all I had to do was proof that an openly gay man can live a productive, happy, successful life with some bad stuff too ofcourse. Just like anybody else.😉
@@peteraschaffenburg1 mag sein daß die Mutter im ersten Moment nur über das Ziel hinausschießt, da gebe ich Dir recht, aber als der Sohn mit seinem Freund zu Besuch kommt und die Mutter ihn ablehnt, das ist schon ein starkes Stück... Man sollte meinen daß in der Zwischenzeit ein bißchen Gras drüber gewachsen ist...... "Ich möchte tot sein" musste ich mir zuhause anhören... Es wurde aber, wie bei Dir, besser, als ich ausgezogen war...
Shit.....I thought my coming out was bad..... after this film....I had it good. Parents can really mess with their kids life. Mom did come to our wedding 20 years ago....and yes, she loves my husband. Parents, if they want to, can change.
I love that little bit I saw be happy lots of love 💘
Some gay couples whom I know had babies (not an easy thing to do if you're gay) and that changed things in an instant. It's hilarious watching two gay men fussing over a car seat and a baby.
He has the ring the doorbell to his childhood home? That says it all.
I like the scene Diego gave wine bottle.
Son, you is beautiful. Nothing wrong with you! Your mother is not your God. Mother did also do the sin! Love is the most important! Be proud with yourself. I love you!
This short film was like seeing my past in so few seconds. All for which they will say, the false morals and machismo that was lived in the COLOMBIAN COAST for those times. But time was my best ally, hand in hand with hope and understanding. Today I live with my partner and my parents are my best friends. And I can proudly say I am GAY and live HAPPY. No 😀😀😀😀😀
Oh that's great 👍💝✨
