Just watched the whole thing. Wow there was suprisingly good acting too, especially by Trevor. Couldn’t agree with the 80s hair and everything but it was fun to watch. The priest was creepy: if anyone spoke to me like that I’d probably die! I suppose it’s safe to know that Trevor was actually swallowing Pez candy instead of aspirin? Thanks Josh!

I have to say this is now one of my favorite vids. Thanks for adding this!

Great vid as usual

That is almost exactly my story at thirteen years old, except that I never attempted suicide, never even thought about it. Oh yeah, and there was no Jack, damn it, he’s cute.

The only thing that a young gay boy MUST fight against is ignorant people, who`ve inherited their backward thinking from their backward parents who r either religious, catholic,jevovahs,muslims or whatever, and because of that feel they r entitled to judge others and put them down in order to feel a better human being themselves , but in fact they r jealous of free spirits!!. So FCK `em all, and live yr life the way u wanna be!.
I live in Holland, where it`s relatively progressive enviroment generally, but even here the last years increasingly there is less tolerance for people who don`t fall in the ` normal` category. This is only thanx to the immigrants from marocco and east europe that r destroying everything we`ve build up the last decades concerning freedom of thinking and speech. and the relious consrvatives cling on to those thoughts and nobody stands up against this before its already too late and we can`t turn it back!! free spiritboy greets all closetboys.

@starboy 101: Do you hear yourself talking? talking about fighting the ignorant, but at the same bashing immigrants… So I guess it’s ok to be ignorant as long as it’s not about gay rights? It’s not the immigrants destroying freedom of speech, it’s the people who deny it to them.

@dunno, If the immigrants want to impose their religious mores on the general public, and vote against the freedoms of those that fought for them, doesn’t that give citizens the right to protest them? Don’t you think the Native Americans had a right to protest and fight against the European immigrants, and maybe even resent them?

Well, there is a difference between immigrants and conquerors. It’s kinda funny, kinda sad how hysterical the people in the US get about the “illigeal aliens” from Mexico while they (the americans) wiped out nearly all native americans to get their land.
But you guys are all right about religion of course. The world would be a safer and friendlier place without it.

@starboy 101
Because all immigrants are religious extremists who left their country to take your jobs. And they’re not a minority at all. They’re totally going to take over the country by just moving in and changing the whole society. Wait, what? Talk about sweeping generalizations, sheesh. Denying the possibility of other sources for a revival of conservative thinking (it’s a general trend in many countries at the moment and certainly not introduced by some immigrant minority which has been part of society for many decades now) is the true meaning of ignorance, sorry.
@Josh
I’ve been following the debate in the US closely. What some people said and wrote about the “illegals” makes you want to gouge your eyes out. Very disturbing.

I was just pushing the envelope with the, Europeans conquering the Americans natives thing, to make a point. You have to respect the culture you are moving into. As for the people in the US who are complaining about the Mexicans, the Mexicans were living in their own land when the US government simply moved the border, now they were aliens in their own land. California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, etc. were all part of Mexico until the US moved in.

The director seems to be a big fan of Harold&Maude, but never reaches the quality of that humour. A lil silly story.
April 29th, 2008 at 05:23
Yeah, Harold & Maude was my first thought too when I saw this one.

Does anyone have a similar story like Trevor?
I was madly in love with a boy younger than me - all through eighth grade and high school. I still haven’t gotten over him. He was the most beautiful boy I ever saw. I still compare all cute boys/men on the internet to him at their age. He’s still a perfect 10, as far as I’m concerned.

Trever was great & sad in that it is a so typical story for growing up in religious conservative USA. I moved to the US when I was 12 & spent my teens closeted within the Mormon church. Thankfully I did make it to San Francisco & retired in Fortaleza,Brasil.
