In my Twitter feed the other day I learned of the movie: Pariah. Naturally I clicked through, curious at the intriguing looking film. Of course that lead me to learn of Kickstarter (what a great fundraising platform!) and to also watch the preview and interview with the makers of the film. I’ve shared before that I have a brother who is gay and several friends as well, so projects like this make me very thankful. We all have those days we feel judged, unsupported and confused as we grow up and attempt to find our feet underneath us. It’s hard enough to be an average, straight joe and wrap your head around your place in the world. I can’t imagine having my sexuality judged and hated too like so many do in the mix of the already overwhelming growing up process. The only way we’ll be able to keep promoting tolerance is to create windows into other people’s worlds that might be different than ours. Exposure is everything.

Congratulations on being a selection for the Sundance Film Festival Pariah. I hope you make your fundraising goal. Thank you for working so hard to make a film that will encourage open hearts and open minds. You are no doubt saving lives.
