In court, Miller said loudly that the essence of the case was the hatred and fear of homosexuality, and yeah, that's the crux of the matter. The case is over, Andrew and Miller won, and here comes the question.

When will public hatred and fear of homosexuality disappear?

Homosexuality, there are still people who listen to it, full of contempt and disgust, not to mention the distant
1980s.

Andrew, who lived in this period, was unfortunate. Homosexuality and AIDS patient status made him suffer so much that he lost his dignity. As a student of law, he could not stand the unfair treatment he was subjected to, because before the law, everyone was equal, whether poor or rich, whether healthy or sick, and of course sexual orientation. So he chose to appeal.

But he is lucky, his family supports him without exception, not only to fight for his legal interests in court, but also to respect his sexual orientation.

The 40th anniversary of Andrew's parents' marriage was so heartwarming that I thought the family didn't know about homosexuality, AIDS, and being fired. What follows is a family battle, where the parents are disappointed, and the siblings are terrified, accusing Andrew of his chaotic sex life.

The family battle didn't happen. What appeared in front of me was Andrew holding his brother's baby, breastfeeding the baby, and calmly asking his family for advice. The family calmly accepted Andrew's decision to go to court in the disputed area, and gave all the support they could.

"No matter what, it won't change that I am proud of you!"

"My children should not be discriminated against. You go to court to fight for your rights."

Of course, the whole of Andrew's lover, Michael Gao, was always by his side.

Andrew's family shocked me, so good, can't find a better adjective, family shocked me.

When I was young and ignorant, I joked with my classmates that I might be gay. She asked me seriously: "Really? Then I want to stay away from you, and you must not come to me. "

"You tell me what you like about me, and I'll change it. Is that okay?" After receiving such an answer, such a sentence came to mind. How similar, a kind of coolness from the bottom of the heart spreads to all parts of the body, which cannot be stopped.

That's right, we are highly educated, our thinking is still the same, what about those who stick to Confucianism? In the face of homosexuality, because of fear and incomprehension, some people are naked. In fact, they just want to escape.

Yet fleeing is as close to discrimination, if not more. Discrimination is obvious, escaping is silent, silent is better than sound, escaping is always more saddening and hurts people silently.

In fact, I'm not gay either, and the people around me have no reason to flee. But those words were real. I thought this was my best friend and should support my behavior, but I didn't expect such an answer.

Maybe I'm too harsh and want too much, that's fine, I respect her choice.

When will homosexuals get the respect they deserve?

    This film was made 20 years ago, what kind of discrimination against AIDS and homosexuality 20 years ago, so it can be moved by the situation at that time, but today, both in terms of conception and narrative method Achievement and stereotypes.

  • Joe Miller: What do you love about the law, Andrew?

    Andrew Beckett: [from the witness stand] I... many things... uh... uh... What I love the most about the law?

    Joe Miller: Yeah.

    Andrew Beckett: It's that every now and again - not often, but occasionally - you get to be a part of justice being done. That really is quite a thrill when that happens.
