30 DAYS: Straight/Gay man
Ryan, who is a straight man, is a Christian and believes homosexuality is wrong in the Bible. He also believes that love is supposed to be between a man and woman. Ed, who is a gay man, has never had a roommate in his house. Those two straight man and gay man have to live together in 30 days. Before watching, I could guess they would quarrel. If I were in Ryan’s place, I also feel uncomfortable and I would be very confused how I treat gays or lesbians because I hadn’t had the situations to spend most days with a gay man or lesbian.
After watching it, I remenber the lesbians who I have met before and think about them again. I met the lesbians when I was in high school. My school was a girl’s school so we didn’t have opportunities to meet boys and spent 4 years with only girls. In basketball teams there were many girls like boys. They were forced to have short haircut like boys and their characters were really enthusiasm and not like girls. People recognized some of them as boys and some of the basketball players like boys were considered themselves as boys. So some girls really felled in love. I saw that a girl and a girl like boy always folding their hands or hugged. At first I was very surprised but they were proud of their relationship so gradually I had accepted their relation. I think there are many gays or lesbians in Japan too but many of them hesitate to come out. They think If they come out the truth, people around them would not accept and be confused or reluctant to be friends. However I think gays or lesbians who came out their truth and were proud of themselves are really cool and I respect them. If my friends come out they are gays or lesbians, in fact I would be confused at first, but gradually I could respect their coming-outs and I would accept them. Everyone have a right to love people even they are same sex. I think if many gays or lesbians come out their truth more and more, consequently many people think about their situations and accept them more.
