A different hand | Richard Pickett

Growing up, I was around a lot of homophobia. I was around certain family members and friends that always looked down on upon them. I am guilty of this as well. I have called few a "faggot" in my lifetime. I didn't feel that they even represented how a human being should be. If you were to talk to me back then, I would say that the "homosexual agenda" is a real thing. Anyone who is apart of the LGBT are the most disgusting group of people in my entire life. However overtime, I have come to learn that they are some of the greatest people that has ever walked this earth. In my times of need, at my low points, they were there for me as any other human being should be for another. All of my realizations came full circle. I was afraid of people that just wanted to be accepted, want to be treated like everyone else, and feel safe and secure in their sexuality. This short film/music video capsulizes my experience in less than 7 minutes. Hope you enjoy, and learn that love is love.
