I don't want you (maybe there is no you, just Jammin, I, and our imaginations) to think that this blog is going to turn into a reposting of videos, or, that I spend all day perusing YouTube. Although I don't think that would be such a bad thing.
I actually got this from a link sent from the newsletters I receive from HRC (human rights campaign). It's an interesting trailer, and an interesting documentary. I think films like this are important, and can make a difference in peoples lives. This is just hard to remember when I get cushioned in a way, or guarded. Living here in San Fran, in a bubble of some sorts. Where I feel like for the most part, everyone is accepting of everyone else. Naive. Yeah I know.
It is similar to the type of bubble I lived in back home. Only that was a white Christian middle class town. Where there were different people, and different ways of life, just no one talked about or confronted it, and therefore, could never accept, or teach acceptance about it. Even though they all thought they did. Maybe I'm seeing this completely wrong though. Maybe it was just me, and the circle I ran in. That I didn't need to get to know those people, because I didn't think they affected, or influenced me. And on that note, who even is "those" people that I speak of. BLAH!!! Im not explaining my thoughts very clearly. hmm - don't judge me.
I just hope this film doesn't turn religion into the bad guy. Or even turn certain people into bad guys. The last thing we need is for a film to give more people reasons to pit against one another.
