How We Got Gay-the sad story about happy people

I've been watching LGBT documentaries in context to my making of a documentary final assignment. At least that is the reason I began watch but now I watching with more purpose. The LGBT community is like an army. They are at war with society just to receive rights and humane respect. I like war films so you know I am even more interested. They are out number but it has never stopped them in their fight. That takes a lot of courage. Courage I believe every human should achieve to have in their everyday living. In watching these documentaries I have never seen the LGBT community once doubt themselves in this war. They are just consistently pushing for what they want. If we be real consistency doesn’t exist in all humans. I think it is the consistency that upsets some people. Only because they don’t have developed consistency the consistency bothers them and almost becomes annoying. In that hate is generated. Even when the hate is thrown their way they take it and turn into something positive. You could not support the lifestyle but there are a lot of qualities that straight and regular human beings can take away from their way of life. This way of life is not something that just appeared on the surface of the earth. Just as the hate against the LGBT community didn’t just automatically happen. There are major influences and a lot of history behind this LGBT versus the world war.

When I saw the title HOW WE GOT GAY I thought it was on a gay couple but it was the development of gayness in North America. I saw it as start on my hunt for this soon to be or what is in my eyes a very historical ongoing war. I intrusted this documentary to give me a great start. I knew a lot of people formally myself that had a huge dislike for the lifestyle but damn as I watch more and more of these documentaries I can only sympathize more with the LGBT community with the harsh treatments they have received over time. Being gay was looked at in the earlies as a mental health issue. The methods in which they tried to rehabilitate this mental illness was very gruesome. They used means of electric shock. Some men were forced to watch female porn. Others sometimes went through religious intervention. A lot of archival footage was used in this documentary. It worked especially in aligning with the title of the documentary. The footage displayed and showed actuality of the GAY VS THE WORLD war. There was footage showing a group of people passionate about their lifestyle and pleading for their own rights. There were interviews from old gay people. This showed that being gay was not something that had now came into existence. They recalled the struggles of being gay in the early days. The older gays description of hate back then to now showed that the hate has gotten worse. I’m not a supporter of the lifestyle but I’m a supporter of living life. I believe once they are not harming anyone physically they should be allowed to live how they want.
