A Lista de Quem Saiu

Seriously? A whole film with interviewees who supposedly represent the LGBT community, yet bisexuality is little more than an afterthought tacked on at the end.

This film suffers from exactly the same narrow-minded, bigoted, un-inclusive thoughtlessness that it rather self-consciously pats itself on the back for tackling.

As a bisexual man, I wasn't represented in this "LGBT" film at all. The only bisexual person in it was a woman who didn't even identify herself as bisexual. Her reason: the LGBT community don't even acknowledge bisexuals. Well, after seeing this film I guess she was right. Shame, shame, shame! Seriously!

The personal truth about their identity and assumation of it from different representants of LGBT. I saw each confession as an exercise of honesty, simple, precise, honest, delicate, useful. Because , it is not exactly a manifesto for a cause but a self definition in proper terms. Useful because , for heterosexuals, LGBT can represent organizations, ephemination, bizarre people, ambiguity, teribilism in different forms, a wave, a pressure.

This documentary reminds the sexual identity as ingredient , one of ingredients of a woman or man , near many others. Not a mark, not a sign, not real a choice.

To assume or hide it , to discover at early age, to talk about it not only as coming up, that is the naked challenge.

So, a film to remind or clearify. Nice, useful and dramatic in good measure.

I'm 10 years late to the game however, better late than never.

As a hetro male who believes in equality on all levels, I had an idea how this documentary would play out. Boy, was I wrong.

I know I don't know everything but, my eyes were open watching this doc.

There is one thing I absolutely hate, catagorical qualfication. Why do gay, lesbian, etc. Are expected to introduce themselves as being their sexual selves? I'm hetro male yet, I don't have to introduce myself as "name" and I'm straight.

Thankfully things have moved on since this documentary however, even 10 years after, there are things need to be done. What is forgotten, and needs to be addressed is, the fear of hetro people. Are they afraid they will be "turned"?

This documentary displays the truth of being human and being minority . Its crucially important to be who you really are ,not what the society wants you to be .i love the concept of this very documentary .in its own truth-telling way , i feel that so many people in this world ignore how essential it is to be honest with yourself . candor ,honesty,,courage and resilience. those are the characters the people in this documentary are. i just totally enjoy it and love all the people there telling the stories ,sharing their views with all of us .not in the least stereotypical , yet remarkably sincere. the world is not binary , but very diverse with every human being.
