Le reazioni delle persone gay agli insulti [ESPERIMENTO SOCIALE]

Do you have a story to tell? Write to us: https://www.fanpage.it/segnalazioni/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL: http://fanpa.ge/kHck2 How many times do we hear jokes based on someone's sexual orientation? Every day. Jokes, or so-called jokes, often disguised as "I'm joking," or "what the heck is it?" or "it's just a figure of speech," without realizing that certain "jokes" can kill, and those words almost always bring the targeted person to tears. In other cases, it escalates directly to blatant insults and discrimination. But the joke itself, the "joke," is the precursor to discrimination, because it's based on the amusement of demeaning another person's sexual orientation. Nowadays, fortunately, almost no one makes jokes about black people because they're black, or about Jews, or about people with disabilities. But the mockery of gay people remains, the jokes, as if they weren't a kick in the gut every time. With this video, I decided to conduct a social experiment, filming the reactions of some gay people. These are words, phrases, supposed jokes, and pseudo-jokes that I took from the internet, Facebook comments, or the worst barroom conversations. The purpose of the video is simple, and in my opinion effective: to show viewers what they usually don't care about: the reactions of those being mocked. Above all, with this video, I wanted to try to tell some pieces of gay people's lives, the ones that no one, between a joke and an insult, ever asks of them. Those pieces of history, and of life, that perhaps, if everyone knew or found the courage to even try to imagine, they would shy away from laughing at a sexual orientation that is neither better nor worse, nor funnier nor sadder, than a straight one. I conceived, organized, and produced this video based on my original idea. But this video would never have seen the light of day, or certainly would have been much worse, without the collaboration of Andrea Esposito, Francesco Galgano, and Peppe Pace, in alphabetical order. My three colleagues handled all the filming, photography, and audio. But above all, it is thanks to them that many of the insights, questions, ideas, and approaches were possible. With advice, support, and many, many key production ideas. Video by Saverio Tommasi http://youmedia.fanpage.it/video/aa/W...
