Nowadays, for the world, the LGBT people cannot be ignored.
Whether their rights or prejudice or discrimination are being taken seriously.
After hard work, it seems that the whole world has reached a consensus on this.
can be implemented specifically in a certain country and region. Is it really as people wish?
Maybe, a documentary can answer this question, that is -
"Parents"
It is a documentary series, Douban 9.1 in the first season.
Season 2, the score was not lower than the high score, and it also reached 9.1.
Maybe, there is an idol fan who can't hold back when he sees such a comment.
is right, Alan Page 's name is so eye-catching.
"Juno", "Fruit Hard Candy", " Inception "...
She has wonderful performances in these films, proving her strength to the world again and again.
But in this film, her identity is not an actor, but an explorer, and LGBT is the object of her exploration.
People who are familiar with Allen may know it.
In 2014, she publicly admitted that she fell in love with a girlfriend at the human rights event THRIVE.
At that time, I guess many fans were heartbroken.
At human rights activities, she bravely claimed to stand with the LGBT crowd.
This is not a slogan for her, but what she has always insisted on.
Over the years, she has been doing her best to protect her rights for homosexuals.
is filming movies about the theme again, and is facing the camera publicly with his girlfriend.
Although, her behavior has indeed affected many people.
But she deeply felt that there is an equal rights issue in every country and region.
This is all caused by different cultural and historical evolutions.
So, she decided to show the audience the LGBT culture around the world with her friend Ian.
Every episode, I will go to a country, and I will choose where to go.
The first stop, they chose Japan.
As we all know, Japan is full of many cultural types at present.
Traditional culture, sexual culture, and two-dimensional culture all coexist in society.
In this state, LGBT culture can be described as strange and incredible.
Alan, who came here for the first time, was even a little scared.
So, the survey started with a smallest gay bar.
It is located in the largest gay neighborhood in Japan, and the boss is an elder.
learned from him that this place was actually a foreign land in the past.
Only here can homosexuals express their true hearts, so gradually there are more people.
But almost all countries are formed in this way. What is unique to Japan?
Don’t worry, the second bar that Allen went to, the island country features are here.
This shop owner is famous for his two unique skills: "high-speed attraction" and "deep throat tightening".
He often appears in TV variety shows, and he has participated in "Kangxi" and "Diaosi Men".
He performed hard on TV, actually to promote his sex toys.
Special voice and lips are his tools for making a living.
He showed Alan a sex toy with the shape of his mouth as the mold.
and told them that 20,000 of these products alone have been sold. After
, they went to several more bars, all of which were very distinctive, with lesbians and drags.
So many bars, Allen feels that people are optimistic about the future.
But this is just in the gay neighborhood, what do Japanese citizens usually think?
So, Allen and Ian came to an eight-story comics base.
Everyone knows that comics can tell the problem in Japan.
They picked up this Danmei comic, and the explicit content inside them could only rely on laughing to relieve the embarrassment.
In order to gain a deeper understanding, they also found super fans of Danmei comics.
fans expressed the voice of the fujokovics -
They prefer it because of the relationship between different ethics. The more taboo they are, the more wonderful it feels.
In order to let Allen feel it, they also listened to the audio BL comics in the private room together.
two bad guys have to be impressed by Japanese sexual culture.
But these are all entertainment and have nothing to do with real life.
The LGBT people around people face more reality.
Although they rarely face criticism, they are still warned and accused.
Japan is traditionally conservative after all, and homophobic forces are also invisible.
Many people choose to get married, but some people come out bravely.
I'm afraid only Japanese Buddhism can truly accept same-sex marriage.
In some countries in North America, such as Jamaica , LGBT people are in a unimaginable situation.
Time magazine once named this the most homophobic country in the world.
Most people think homosexuality is immoral.
They believe that the homosexual community should respect Jamaica, not people should respect them.
The politics and culture here are permeated with a kind of discrimination.
The civilians can even use violence against LGBT people without any scruples.
You can imagine how miserable the LGBT group here is.
Someone who is richer may be protected.
, those who are poor can only wander, and even their relatives will not recognize them.
They can only stay away and hold a group to keep warm.
But even so, bullets, sulfuric acid, gas still attacked them.
(they can only protect themselves with homemade bombs)
Compared with the darkness of Jamaica, France can really be regarded as a paradise.
can enjoy naked beaches here and also freely talk about LGBT topics.
In this open and inclusive "city of love", it is easy to come out.
Rainbow Flag can fly freely here.
Before coming to France, Ian came out smoothly after Allen.
He used to study in Paris and was very familiar with this place.
He took people to the most famous homosexual area in the area - Marai District.
html In the 1980s, it was the cultural center of LGBT.
After visiting the Marais District for a while, Ian discovered that although openness and freedom seem to have become synonymous with France, it actually has its own problems.
For example, the rights of trans people in LGBT.
Social activists and artists are all calling for this.
But in a country that is open enough, it is really difficult to go further.
For example, homosexual marriage has long been legalized here, but artificial insemination is not allowed.
If a hospital undergoes such an operation, it may face a fine.
Therefore, if families of same-sex families want to have children, they must go abroad to undergo artificial insemination.
This interference in reproductive rights has undoubtedly annoyed many people.
But this is difficult to change because there are very few LGBT people involved in politics.
In fact, some French political parties still welcome them to join.
may only be able to participate in it and not be influenced by it.
Although in the system, not many people are fighting for rights and interests for LGBT people.
However, there are many people in the people who support LGBT, such as this instructor of the "Eliminate Discrimination" course.
His subject of listening is young people surrounded by cultural prejudice.
class is designed to be very interesting. He will show classmates photos of same-sex kissing and let them talk about their feelings.
Some people can barely accept it, while others only see the demon. The difference between
is caused by the different growth environment.
In fact, the teacher himself was also a homophobic and racist before.
Since he changed his mind, he began teaching, and he firmly believed that young people would be changed.
So far, LGBT population equality may just be the beginning.
What they need is the equal rights and interests of everyone, not sympathy.
Goddess Allen has been with the LGBT crowd this time.
Her image in the minds of many people is already 183. After
, she and Ian went to Brazil, the United States, Ukraine and other places.
Two seasons, nine locations, each of which is evolving according to its own speed.
Maybe, throwing aside the country and society, it’s the same everywhere.
This is also the reason why LGBT people around the world can travel with each other.
The wound scars on their bodies may all come from the same "murder weapon". The reason for the injury to
is often just that they want to be an ordinary person.
This is cruel and infuriating.
But this film does not make you angry and critical, it is more about making people think about what you can do about it. The people in
films are rarely desperate, and they face their differences more with a proud attitude.
They will say, "What doesn't kill you only make you gayer."
Change is a long process.
But the shop thinks that as long as you walk with me, you will witness the arrival of the day.
