Please watch the video above before reading.
This is an interesting way to look at the challenges faced by homosexual individuals in a heterosexual society. This video places you in a society where homosexuality is the norm, where "heteros" or "breeders" are shunned and mistreated just as homosexuals have been and are treated in our society. It flips traditional gender roles, posing the girls as playing football, the boys as acting. A "normal" relationship is one between two people of the same sex, the queer relationship between individuals of the opposite sex.
What I think this video really tells is that, beyond the science, the delineation, the criticisms in our society today, intolerance of homosexuality is mostly created by society. The video above presents it perfectly; there is no reason why we couldn't live this way, why this couldn't be where the world was and how people and relationships were perceived. Yet, its not, and most are going to find this really weird and disturbing because this is not what we have been trained to think normal. This is abomination from our perspective. But this kind of bullying and mistreatment really happens in society to those in the queer community of all ages and in different ways. If it is mostly society that breeds this hate, a society governed by us, then why can't we change things and stop this marginalization of other people?
