Good for him. We have too many making up lies, we need more factual sources for kids to understand themselves.

Elliott is so handsome. It’s amazing how someone looks when they are living their authentic self. The documentary will be interesting

Oh this is so cute! I love it. Education is key to understanding and accepting each other’s differences.

Good! So many people use the dumbass “queerness is not natural” argument.

I love this. Nature is inherently queer, regardless of how much certain humans have tried to pretend it isn’t. It’s especially ridiculous when people try to claim being queer “isn’t natural”. I’m all for taking this quaint little myth for what it is: a myth.

This is so important because the common homophobic rhetoric is that being queer is unnatural because “animals don’t change their sex or have gay sex”, when they very much do.

One time, out of curiosity, I brought up spontaneously sex changing animals and same sex relationship animals in relation to the idea of “natural” relationships while I was in conversation with a religous conservative that I have already heard raise religous objections to homosexual relationships. I was curious what their ideology would make of this different conception of “natural.”
They dismissed the idea almost immediately; there was not even a moment of consideration. The response was: “why would one base a human relationship on a lower form of life?” and they were uninterested in examining the idea of “natural” any further.

This is awesome! I love him and I can’t wait to watch this project. I hope lots of families watch this together, learn, and have a lot of productive and healthy discussions.

Idk what this sub is about, it just showed up in my feed but I ran to these comments ready to go to war for Elliott and this cool sounding documentary and was pleasantly surprised at the comments.
