Through that great communications network Netflix I've been recently watching a number of movies produced by homosexual groups, but the one movie that has impressed me the most was one produced by the Lesbian community here in the US named Inescapable.
As far back as to my days teaching at the College of Dupage, Glen Ellyn, Illinois in the mid-1970s, I was concerned with the plight of the homosexuals in the US. I sponsored a humanities club, some sessions of which were devoted to the issue of homosexual tolerance among the populace. But I didn't then realize how homosexuals could live in acceptance.
What has clearly become evident through court action over the recent years, and demonstrated in literature and on the screen, is that acceptance by society of homosexuals requires that the rights of homosexuals be invoked within the community for pensions, death benefits, and health care; etc.; and also for the raising of children, many of whom might otherwise be abandoned in the streets as occurring in Nigeria and in the several Central American countries, including Guatemala; and South American countries, where homeless kids are abandoned and forced to be on their own today as happened in England no later than two centuries ago. There's no obvious reason why homosexuals would not make good, God-fearing parents! In other words, it's essential that governments recognize homosexual marriage.
Else, homosexuals are forced into situations where they act out of panic, confused about who they can be---not who they are--but what stability they have a right to gain in order to live in harmony with others in society.
