i went out as planned with marcus & leo today. the venue: annexe gallery at central market. activity: french movie. at first i thought the movie was some sort of best-foreign-film-for-oscar kind of thing so, i tagged along. the movie started at 3 and as we have some spare time before it started, we just hang around looking for food!
then, the show begins. all my previous assumptions crashed down the drain. it was actually more to an event for gay community in KL! i do support gays, but don't expect me to come for an event like this! i should've asked them first! sigh~ i was the only girl except one indian lady which, we thought she's a lesbian. haha.
i hate it first but i have no choice. i have already entered and seated. as for marcus & leo, i curses them!!! but when the movie started rolling, it was kind of a great movie! yes, of course it's a gay movie, but not so much on the 'sex' part. it was actually a drama. the main purpose is for them, as a gay, to come out as they are. and not being ashamed of it. the movie was called 'it's just a question of love', which is true. when you put the sex aside, it's just a question of love. for 2 people, being in love. it doesn't really matter what your gender is. you do have the right to love.
there was this line which i can't forget. the son, maybe i can say A has a boyfriend, B. A has told everything to his mother and the mother was kind of accepted who he is and B has not. B pretended to be straight to his whole family just because he doesn't want to be casted out. so, thinking that she's doing the right thing, A's mother told B's mother that her son is gay. and A & B are in love. of course, B mother can't accept it. so A asked his mother why she need to tell B's mother and blew everything off. she said something like this.
"for the reason of happiness. i know it's crazy, but they do exist!"
she really wants to save the relationship. haha. it's a good movie though.
the event was hold by PT Foundation, which is a community working with communities most affected by AIDS. mostly, gays, lesbian, transvestites, sex worker and etc. right after the movie, they have this kind of discussion session on whether most of them has really come out and tell the family on the situation. expectedly, only a few who has came out and be who they really are. and surprisingly, the family approved! and some of them, means their family, is literally a very conservative muslim! i'm so impressed & shocked!
well, right after all finished, we just went for a drink at nearby bar with a few of marcus's friends. well, let the discussion kept private. :)
this guy told his parent & it's a long story. literally!!!
i'm now kind of cute supporter of gay community in KL. hahaha. errr?????
