Kids: It’s OK to be gay
I’ve previously commented on how children are often denied access to information about homosexuality and bisexuality. This is particularly true in the US and to a lesser extend in the UK where homophobic bullying still blights our schools.
Still I was informed that in Norway they have a more enlightened approach. Apparently, Skeiv Ungdom, a Norwegian gay and lesbian support group had a video produced to promote their telephone support line to gay and lesbian teenagers. A quick search for “Skeiv Ungdom” on YouTube and I found the video

I think its a great video. I really think something like this ought to be aired in Britain. It really sends out a positive message about homosexuality and also emphasises that things aren’t always what they seem. Which will certainly speak to a lot of bisexuals.
I should also point out that the entire crew worked for free to produce this 60 second short, so good on them for showing support. Enjoy…

NB: The video is perfectly clean, but I’m a little worried about the interests of the guy who posted it given the tags he used to describe the video. Still one of the actors siblings has commented on the video so I could be just paranoid.
Beautiful.
Definitely beautiful.
Sometimes tags people use to describe videos don’t fit well. I saw a campaign for reporting domestic abuse labelled as a comedy. It certainly wasn’t funny.
