Ivy's Closet- A video for my family

I can second that.
I was so surprised to hear your voice and accent, however, not at all what I imagined (very lovely though!) 
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
Thanks. lol um... uh oh. I didn't think of the accent part. Now I'm second guessing posting the video.
 So... I send it?

Ivy, I think your video is great. It has all of the things it needs. That could not have been easy. You should be proud of yourself. And although you didn't cry, I got a little weepy thinking about a little girl praying for forgiveness about being attracted to another human being, that's so sad. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It disgusts me that children are taught that kind of shame, and you survived that.
I truly hope your family receives this well. You seem like a wonderful person, and you deserve that.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Congrats on getting all this off your chest. Your demeanor is such that they should hear how much you want them to be good with who you are. They should be proud of your guts in leveling with them. That said, I hope your parents are half as open minded as you are.

I'm proud of you Honey!
 That took a lot of courage to do. And yes, I'm an ally. *hugs "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5

I think the video was good. The sound quality was a little poor, but I don't know how much you care about that.
The thing I don't understand is the talk about not being an 'ally'. What do you mean by that? An ally of gay people? Also -- why a video? Can't you talk to them? The part about standing in front of the congregation and apologizing for having sex. What an awful, degrading situation. Nobody should have to go through something like that. It seems gay/bi people in the US have to endure a lot. It makes me sad. I'm grateful I live in one of the most liberal countries in the world. Too bad for gay/bi histrionic people though... They come out screaming 'I'm gay, I'm gay, I'm gay!!! Look at me I'm gay!!!' And 99.9% of everyone is going 'So? *yawn*'. Almost nobody cares one way or the other. Not saying you are histrionic, though. You look cute in the video, BTW. I like the bangs. |
