The Stories Of Those Who Lost Decades In The Closet
880views
In 2019, we heard a quote from an LGBTQ senior about the years they lost not being their true selves.
This is what inspired the Not Another Second project, celebrating 12 LGBT+ pioneers who have paved the way for generations to come. The film is a personal, touching look into their stories, the struggles they had to face for decades and the fight they each put on, never losing their resilience, humanity and beauty.

Thanks for posting this. I started watching the clip, then had to stop - part of me is happy that they can speak out (not all were closeted for years) and part of me is sad that many had to wait so long. A few years ago, I saw a group of adorable girls (early to mid-teens) attending the Pride Parade and I was so happy to see them comfortably being themselves.
This is beautiful, they can now be happy to be themselves, love it!
Still have good looks!
