I was very moved by this. I'm very old, and memories of my adolescent years have become more and more present to me. A secret love for another boy - unconsummated, incommunicable; still able to make tears flow down my cheeks. Lads of today; look into his eyes and let him KNOW.

"I don't want to be somebody's secret I want to be with someone who is proud to be with me" that line really hit me hard

A crush is a crush - gay or straight. Very well-done film.

Great example of the hidden internalised conflict in many peoples minds coming to terms with who we are, against all the pressures were all set to comply with. Great use of fiction to make the point. Beautifully done !

Reminded me so much of the first time I played Truth or Dare with a friend from Junior high School... And wound up discovering that we both had feelings for each other. And yes we were both guys. It was the night I finally admitted to myself that this is who I am...and it was great to find I was not alone in my feelings, and it felt Great to finally be able to admit who I am and be accepted.
Also about the movie, the closeted guy is really cute!😊

I want to share something from the heart. Growing up in the 80s, I lived in a world where being gay wasn’t just frowned upon; it was often dangerous and deeply misunderstood. Back then, the weight of shame and fear was a heavy burden to carry. I felt like I had to hide a part of myself to fit into a society that didn’t have room for who I truly was.

But as I’ve grown and experienced life, I’ve learned the importance of embracing my authentic self. I’ve witnessed the progress that’s been made and how far we’ve come in terms of acceptance and understanding. I cherish the love and support I’ve found in my journey, and I hope that anyone struggling with their identity knows they are not alone.

Life is too short to hide under a mask. It’s never too late to be true to yourself, to love who you love openly, and to stand proud in your own skin. Here’s to love, acceptance, and the beautiful journey of being true to ourselves!

I was deeply touched by these reflections. As I grow older, memories of my younger years have become increasingly vivid and somewhat painful at times. I fondly recall a secret love I had for another boy—one that was never realized, never spoken, yet it still brings tears to my eyes. It’s incredible how those feelings can linger, even after all this time.

To the young men and women of today, I urge you to look into each other's eyes and truly communicate your feelings. Don’t hold back—let him or her KNOW how you feel. Life is too short to stay silent about the love that could light up both of your worlds.

Very well done short film. I am sure many could believe this story is about them and wish they have/had seen and had this mind struggle in their lives. I grew up in the 1970's where same sex couples were made legal but society still had problems in acceptance and tolerance. A society were many gays/lesbians married straight, had families. I had my 1 crush, someone I still love even today, never stopped loving actually. This film gives me the wish I had the courage @15 that I do now @60 to have told him how I felt and still feel about him.

To be who one is sometimes difficult due to social taboos created unnecessarily by those who have no understanding of the turmoil of the affected young minds. To educate both the parties is need of the day. Acceptance by all can give great happiness around the world. Beautifully created short film. Congratulations to everyone.

Sweet film. Nicely done by all. Charles Dickens would have been proud to call it his own. God bless us, everyone!

[peterbongiovanni]

I loved the way you incorporated surrealism with reality to see the arc of discovery that is hidden perhaps in all of us, if we just let go. Very nice film.🤟

[missricka]

Lovely film. And authentically portrayed!

[MrJosea]

Well done, Queer Love is complex, and loving ourselves can and will liberate us to be who we truly are. ❤

We’re all going to have to shed the colors that others have painted of our portraits. It’s the only way we can be.
