I Woke Up Gay - A Stroke Turned Me Gay – Documentary (2012)

Genre: Documentary Country :UK BBC, 2012

Ovaj dokumentarac BBC Three televizije nam priča istinitu priču o 27-godišnjem  momku iz Južnog Velsa, bivšem ragbi igraču, koji je radio u banci imao dijevojku i ponašao se kao večina njegovih str8 prijatelja.
Nakon moždanog udara sve se drastično promjenilo. Chris Birch je preko noći postao gay!? Da li je to moguće?  Da li noćna mora mnogih homofoba može postati stvarnost?
Ovaj dokumentarac je izazvao brojne komentare i debate u britanskom društvu , čak i prije nego je emitovan.

Gledajući ovog momka koji i izgledaom i ponašanjem odaje utisak stereotipnog pedera pao mi je na pamet jedan novi prijatelj, odavde iz Crne Gore.
Upečatljivi  mišićavi i lijep muškarac koji svojom pojavom imponuje svakom društvu ipak u sebi krije elemente svoje homoseksualnosti koja je definitivno sastavni dio njegove ličnosti.
Pažljivim posmatranjem lako je primjetiti da spada u one muškarce koji odaju utisak kao da su se mnogo družili sa ženama pa uslijed toga poporimili i poneke lijepe manire.
Na seks među drugim muškarcima gleda kao nešto presmiješno što se njega uopšte ne dotiče.
Svom dečku je vjeran i pouzdan prijatelj i partner koji pokazuje izuzetno razumjevanje i poštovanje.
Iako je još uvjek u nekoj fazi preispitivanja samog sebe kao na nekoj vagi između muškaraca i žena, na sopstvene zebnje, želje i strahove gleda kroz izvjesnu dozu humora kojom prikriva sve ono što predstavlja noću moru većini str8 populacije! Šta želim i kojim putem če se nastaviti moj život? Zna koga iskreno voli ali svu sreću i nevolje koje to može da donese će    tek iskusiti! Srečom uvjek ima prijatelja i familiju koja ga voli i daje mu podršku u svemu!

This documentary is about 27-year-old Chris Birch, a young man from South Wales. He used to be a 19 stones (265 pound/120 Kilo) rugby-playing, straight lad with a girlfriend and a job in a bank. However, his life was radically changed by a stroke, and he is now a slim gay man, who lives with his boyfriend and works as a hairdresser. The trouble is that virtually nobody believes his story, not even his boyfriend, and everybody else has their own 'take' upon his reality. As a result of the changes in his personality and sexuality, Chris is now alienated from most of his former friends and family. ('Before' and 'After' pics are above.) Shown on BBC Three TV last night, this doc caused some heated debate in yesterday's UK newspapers, even before it had been shown on TV.

Charlie suddenly gets his chance when he meets Jordan Rivers (Nick Bartzen), a charismatic drifter and fellow lost soul. The two of them hit it off immediately, and they soon embark on a tumultuous romance that gives Charlie a taste of the freedom he’s been craving.

Caught in a struggle for Ben and eager to hold on to Jordan, Charlie must finally search his soul and make momentous decisions regarding the future of his family. Written and directed by first-time filmmaker Justin Lo, THE CONRAD BOYS is a deeply personal and heartfelt story that will stay with you for a long time to come.

Porodična gay coming out priča ,  na vrlo specifičan način nam odslikava coming out dramu. U ovom filmu glavne uloge ne pripadaju gay paru Jeremyju i Marcu, več Jeremijevim roditeljima. Njihova preispitivanja gdje su pogriješili te je njihov sin postao gay , emotivne krize u koje upadaju i koje neskriveno dijele sa prijateljima koji ima svesrdno pomažu da nastave normalnim životom. Ipak ovakva kriza se ne riješava preko noči , a skoro je nemoguće riješiti ukoliko im je sin udaljen i ne shvati da je on taj koji im najviše može pomoći.

Mada je pomalo iracionalna za balkanski mentalitet ova priča ipak na neki način može pomoći mladim gay ljudima koji žele da svoju seksualnu orjentaciju saopšte roditeljima. Sebe su shvatili, a da li mogu roditelje?

 

TIMES HAVE BEEN BETTER
Directed by Régis Musset

In TIMES HAVE BEEN BETTER, Jeremy (Arnaud Binard of GRANDE ECOLE) excels at everything. He’s only 33 but has just been promoted to an executive position at the bank. In his parents’ eyes, he’s the golden child, much to the chagrin of his younger brother, Robin (Olivier Guéritée), who has been the only one in the staid family privy to Jeremy’s sexual predilections. But when Jeremy unexpectedly stops by for Sunday brunch one day and announces that he’s just moved in with, well, his boyfriend, things begin to percolate: Jeremy’s parents always fancied themselves as progressive and liberal. After this little piece of news: not so much.
