Please watch this video that I have produced and leave your comments regarding homophobia. Is it justified?

Homophobes are just the ignorant people in the world who are scared to face what is different from their own world and cannot except change.

Awww i was so touched with that meaningful video!
I think homophobia is a no no for everyone.
Because homosexuals,transgenders,... deserve to live according to their lifestyle,meaning,they should have rights to marry and live like what they want.
Some heterosexuals just dont get it.They just dont understand what is the meaning of ''LOVE''.Basically,they do,but not in a way like US(LGBT's) do.
To them, LOVE is just an intense feeling of affection related to a sense of strong loyalty or profound oneness.They have all the love but they're lacked of one love.Its the love of humanity.
They dont accept the LGBT's.
This is how i feel,Have a nice day mate.

Nice film mate, could not read some of the words on teh screen as the font colour was white and faded in to the back ground, but was a good idea!

I can add, I was a lesbian who was bullied at school for being gay. I think homophobia is everywhere. Someone bullied me at work for misinterpreting my behaviour, she thought I was being hostile, when I in fact liked her. The video shows reality and nearly reduced me to tears.

Besides the uncapitalized "i"'s and the fact I'm not a fast reader, and the fact some of the text was difficult to read because of its colour, I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was really good, and made me tear up inside. A few were "iffy" but especially the begining was really good, and the "special rights" part I was glad was included!
Thank you!

A really moving video. there are a lot of very ignorant people in our society.People always need friends whether they are straight ,gay, trans gendered.
The captions could also relate to other people who "don't fit in" with what "society" has deemed normal.
I couldn't care what lifestyle people have. Everyone still deserves to be treated as a human being with the same rights as everyone else. NO EXCEPTIONS

That was one of the most beautifully moving videos I've seen. I've used up 3 tissues (thank you so much...) and the man dying and his partner unable to sit with him is a fear my own Partner and I have. We also have 27 years in (odd, that.....)
I just can't figure why we can't have the same rights as everyone else in this country. It's like we're in India and we're the "Untouchables", the shunned, the lepers.
It was a beautifully moving video and it should be shown in every school and every church just to show what mercy could be.

no don't agree with homophobia, but it is human nature to be scared of what they don't know, when people realise that a persons sexual orientation is private and concentrate on who the person is then the world will be a better place.

Are you living in the same time as the rest of us?,a moving piece but it could also be used for race hate as well, personally I think that in my 59 years there has never been a more relaxed and accepting reaction to gay people from heterosexuals than there has ever been, in fact it almost seems fashionable to be gay, showbiz has vast numbers of gay people in its ranks and these stars are idolised by millions whether they are gay or straight, the only thing that I have a mild problem with the gay fraternity is the continual search for acceptance when the majority of people have already got the message and do accept that gay people have a right to be what they are, I do not need it explained to me over and over again, why continue to dramatise the issue and make it sound as though all non gays hate gay people, it just is not true and your picture clip really does paint a dire view of the life of gay people when the majority are happy and contented with their lives.

Well I'm a guy who likes women. Then sometimes I dress as a woman and like men. Guess there is no way that I can be homophobic or approve or disapprove of homophobia, can I? LOL
But I'm real happy.

Homophobia is ignorance and I like to think I'm not ignorant.
Why would anybody want to persecute somebody else for whatever reason?
Stunning video,
