Portraits of Discrimination, Long Version

[scorand]

now it becomes clear why the reich wingers want to end social security they know that these people will get what they deserve and they wont be able to take it from them and use it for their own agenda

[punk19]

this is terrible :( the laws NEED to change! im a young gay man, and it angers me that this country treats ppl like this.. 

[Asperuaca]

Im straight and in a committed relationship with my husband. This kind of discrimination disturbs me deeply. *crying*

[AETrainingDavid97]

"God will change you! Go to him to become straight!"

That's what I'm hearing in some of these comments.

However, I must ask: While we all have our own issues we need fixing of, how is something so deeply ingrained in us - sexuality - made "wrong" by being homosexual, even though God made us?

[cjvchile23]

but there is a simple solution to it! Just marry a different sex partner and its the end of the story!

[g0oey]

@cjvchile23 That's the same thing that was said to interracial couples when their rights to marriage were denied.

[ChrisClarkeSSR]

The world needs to grow up, all these haters, saying homosexuality is wrong is whats wrongs with the world, just accept people and treat everyone with respect, im pretty sure thats what jesus would have done, jesus would definitely give these people their money

[liberalwankers]

Deprived? Wrong word to use I think.

[Cindercheth]

I am fully in support of equal rights. It's time we all made a stand, and stop judging people on factors that don't matter, and focus on the qualities of a person that DOES. Like honesty, and respect and compassion, instead of "omg they're gay!"

We're no longer in the dark ages people - we no longer need to cling to it.

[goodgriefify]

goodgriefify@artrock. Your lack of the English vocabulary says it all. The Bible states that your national day is 1 April; now work that one out. ("my God" donates that other religions have their own gods, the Hindus have more than a million; that's why I specify. Good luck with your frustration at the world.

[greybigshark]

equal rights why they not create their own game with their own rules there own God there own political system. very unreasonable men these people they are trying to change a world that has been here before them. find a women Mr. 101 that'll do you a good justice.

[goodgriefify]

goodgriefify@UltaSWGFortunatel­y you cant change my God to suite your lifestyle. If you dont like it, stay out of heaven; it's your choice, not God's.

[artrock101]

@goodgriefify LMFAO @ "My God"... that sums up what's fucking wrong with most modern "Christians".. they don't actually follow the teachings of Christ, they bend those words to suit their own agendas, just like King James and countless others before them.

[greybigshark]

ohhh but on the contrare mr. 101 if only you knew, popping babies out is what its all about in basic biological functioning and simple survival. in our duties in nature, it was important for the human race to reproduce and stay alive .

if you look up in the dictionary surely you will define love as " physical attractiveness" to a persons

[greybigshark]

in the bible defines AND philosifies love into several categories.

familia, (family) love ...erotica the sort of love a man has with a women and then

"agopy" love, unconditional. in spite of petty differences or offenses .

now has anyone played soccer with the rules of footbal and decided hey lets make this an olympic sport. or hey this is a legit game. if gays were so eager for

[goodgriefify]

Isn't it queer that 99% of the comments supporting the act of homo-sexualism are also anti-God! I have many gay friends but they know I detest their unnatural sex. I have yet to see two bitches, these are dogs, doing it.

[UltraSWG]

@goodgriefify Considering that your version of god is anti-gay, why would it be surprising that people who support gays don't like your version of god?

[Petepanpeter]

@goodgriefify fukin agree bigtime!!

[freya1924]

In a fair and equal society benefits, or laws, would not be predicated on your plumbing.

[Petepanpeter]

GAY!!!!!!!!

[okumabear]

@Petepanpeter your grasp of the obvious is astounding.

[Petepanpeter]

@okumabear im just putting this whole video into one word u kno make it more simple!

[tubabat]

That's not right. If you pay social security tax, you must be able to receive the benefits.

[u2hubbard]

How are homosexuals denied social security benefits?

[okumabear]

@u2hubbard They're denied the continued benefits of their partners, which same-sex couples are allowed, even if they're not married.

[rokstarsrfr]

It's so sad that our government has the power to tell you who you are allowed to love. For a nation who boasts of it's freedom, we condemn so many for what they cannot control. Whether or not homosexuality is a choice or not should be of no consequence. We should have the liberty to live our lives how we see fit, so long as we are not treading on another's rights. As a straight male with many homosexual friends, I feel that ignorance is a human epidemic. We fear what we don't understand.

[happycrazedyouth]

PLEASE HELP CURE THE DISEASE OF ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY.... anti-gay people are very weak and need our help! They are seriously mentally ill and need help!

[MrEasley7]

damn it.. these arent your normal everyday gays.. these people should get it.. not those flamers that walk around with dildos in their hands. these are decent people

[twinoceans]

This isn't just unfair. It's degrading and dehumanizing. By denying the right to marriage, opponents of SSM are saying that the the dedication, passion, love, along with pain and suffereing of these people's relationships are INFERIOR to heterosexual relationship. I'm straight, and if someone insult the love I have for my wife or my wife has for me, I'll punch that fucker in the face.

[greybigshark]

idk bilaldasoo i think is correct im a young heterosexual man and dont seem to have any of these problems hmmm maybe rather than focusing on the problem and trying for equal rights it might be smarter to fall in love with the opposite sex. and then that way full benefits for everybody. its like being straight person is instantaneous justice, on demand.

[dragonflame327]

@greybigshark

You've got to be fucking kidding me. How do people like you exist? "Smarter to fall in love with the opposite sex"?! Do you even know what love is? What sexuality is? It's not a decision, it's a realization. You don't decide who you fall in love with. You don't decide to be L/G/B/T. I would rather fight for the rights I should be given as an American citizen, just like you, than live a lie, being completely unhappy for the rest of my life.

[blueberryxmuffins]

stop hating on gay people and do something good for the world.

[bilaldasoo]

Strange...everyone of these folks is not crying for their loved ones...but for the freaking money ...did you love them for money? if not... then theres your answer...

Straight out and everything would straighten out for you guys too.

[dragonflame327]

@bilaldasoo

It's not about the money, it's about the principle. When you pay into a system for 40 years and then because you're not straight (which is not a -choice-. You don't choose to be straight, or homosexual, or bi, or transgender), you suddenly don't get the same treatment because your life partner was the same sex as you? That's absurd, unfair, unequal, and downright evil. You know what, maybe it is about the money. For the government.

[onecentnickel]

@bilaldasoo, and the straight ones dont want the freaking money? open your eyes dumbfuck

[buttnugget328]

sdflkajsflkajdflk

[semiwow21]

I personally think it's right for everyone to get equal rights. I'm 13 years old and I'm doing a project on this. I will post it on Youtube for all of you to see.

[agfat]

It is sad what`s happening in this world.

Homosexual acts are an abomination to God, but not for human`s !!??

I`ll pray for You.

[artrock101]

@agfat

Hey, agfag... God didn't write the Bible, humans did. Fact.

Do you cry for all the people who eat sea food, which is also an abomination according to your old Fables..? I doubt it... I sense a little self-loathing behind your picking and choosing who to hate.

[greybigshark]

@artrock101 sea food is allowable dumb ass no such abominations towards eating fish just certain types of crustacean like crabs and such cos they clean the oceans and keep that bad stuff. bible's diet is scientifically and ecologically healthy, a book written by man and authored by God.

[artrock101]

@greybigshark I could just as easily proclaim that it was authored by Satan, to trick humanity into fighting amongst each other for all time. But I won't...

So, you think people that eat Crab meat shouldn't get married, too? =P

Not everyone's version of "God's Word" has a problem with sexuality, so what makes your religion right, and the others wrong? Ego, and Ignorance.

[greybigshark]

@artrock101 no no no the bible said to stay away from violence if we were talking politcal man law vs divine sovereignty that would be like the ten commandments vs bush dick and collen...

"never to evil, never to good, no sense in destroying yourself" the bible in itself is portionately correct as to these anal retentives who try to blow shit out proportions.

[greybigshark]

@artrock101 contrare to ignorance my very dumb friend MY religion is correct because altho marriage is a ceremony to be celebrated by christians where a man and woman are put together by God. yes it is true that every culture has there own ceremonial marriages but being put together via a priest is not correct.

[greybigshark]

@artrock101 and finally

sex as a means of reproduction as in a man on man relationship will never bear children which means that the both american websters and merriams dictionary deems these perversed which would be opposite of correct perversion as in turning something into that which its not suppose to be. neither by nature by man law or by God's law doest same sex marriage make any sense. man on woman is "right" and "proper"

[artrock101]

@greybigshark maybe in your very narrow view of the world, but not in my mind. So to you, the only valid reason for a couple to be together is to have sex, and to reproduce, right? It has nothing to do with Love, according to you. What absolute bullshit, and you really believe all that crap, huh? I pity you, very much.

The God that I believe it is a god of Love, not one of fucking and squirting out as many babies as you can.

[gamingsoul11]

@agfat Pray all you want, it won't do a thing. The bible was written by man. If God had any hand in it, don't you think that God would have given every society on Earth the same religion? Stop being a sheep and think for yourself. If you take your silly fairy-tale out of the equation, nothing is left to justify unequal treatment for LGBT people.

[agfat]

@agfat

Please excuse me for my judge, because God and only God is the real JUDGE.

People can not judge them selves.

If You wan`t to be free from homosexuality, get to know Jesus, just try, and you will see, HE WILL change you. -> Just in case :D

[Cindercheth]

@agfat why should they WANT to be free of it? Any lord who preaches love, then judges people spitefully isn't MY idea of a lord. The bible says to "love thy neighbor as thyself" and "judge not lest ye be judged"... how would YOU feel if a gay neighbor came up to you telling you that to be spared the judgment of HIS/HER lord and savior, that you must give up your sinful heterosexual ways? Just a question... put yourself in someone else's shoes before judging other's in your lord's name :/ Please.

[willibegradedonthis]

This is really wrong, even if you don't agree about homosexuality why shouldn't they have the same rights. I personally think homosexuality is fine and if thats who you are rock on but even if I didn't feel that way even if I think its a sin, why do child molesters get treated equally but just because someone loves a person of another sex they get different benefits. Explain that. How does being gay make you less of a citizen, less of a human being?

[THEEND123321]

I WANT MT DADS SS MONEY wake up and leave this land!

[1012musicman1012]

first off.

everyone gets screwed by this system. its not just you. therefore your argument of discrimiation is invalid

second off.

these people have no union in the eyes of the government that bindes the government to give them free money because their sexual partner died. therefore, your argument that you are entitled to anything is invalid.

this is tear-jerking nonsense that attempts to pull the wool over the eyes of the general public.

[MJacksonTHEGlovedONE]

this is so sad, im not gay, but still, sad!

[deltaenforcer93]

ahhh god this is disgusting, OLD GAY PEOPLE. whats our world coming too?

[mar504]

@deltaenforcer93 Some of us don't take discrimination so lightly. The only thing that is disgusting is your view

[o0LARCenCiel]

@deltaenforcer93 hey! straight people get old too!

[JHetzerboy]

hetros are denied the same benefits to quit saying its discrimination we're all in the same boat.

[CodyyWayne]

thats soo sad ): nottt!!!!!

[bill0756]

Everyone who works gets social security. social security SURVIVOR benefits are there so that someone, such as a wife/mother, would get social security at her husbands rate because she may have had to sacrifice her work/career to raise children. Will you PLEASE QUIT offering strawman arguments.

[1012musicman1012]

@bill0756 =win.

[alts63]

No Tax without Representation - Basic American Reasoning. Even beyond the sexual orientation discrimination, how can SS defend this policy?

[mike4winns]

@alts63 No adult unmarried person can get SS benefits from another person. No discrimination.

[Asperuaca]

@mike4winns Yes but there lies the problem...WHY can't gays get married in most states??

[2CuteFOu]

love and peace my human brothers and sister

[stochiometryXXsarah]

@lipsa00 Yeah, because denying who you are and starting a marriage based on lies is a great way to live your life. I'm sure that marriage will be wonderful for everyone involved, too - nothing like knowing your spouse will never truly love you to make you feel great about yourself!

[0714boskittles]

Give them the money and shut them up so we can move on to the demands of other people who aren't quiet right but want something anyway. One thing is for sure it will always boil down to money! Funny the day you are ok'ed for the cash it will be gone for every one. You and Your life partner or what ever better start working on another angle to find the acceptance you need. Good luck with that

[neoeros]

@0714boskittles of course part of it will be about money. Do you realize the predicament these people are in at that age? And whatever happened to fairness and justice? Why are only certain people given privileges?

[roblanco]

This is bullshit. Social Security is a benefit that must come back to ANYONE who pays their taxes and is a contributer to the society. This is just wrong.

[SWBATTLEFRONT2]

What's with our Government?

They always don't give a crap about the part in the Declaration of Independence,

"ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL". Its ON THE DECLARATION.

Stupid Government... Everyone deserves a second chance.

God please help these people. ):

[corruptiongovernment]

I think there's bigger issues out there than this... How about the police beating and raping and killing innocent people? The government targeting anyone who promotes a new positive political movement or self sustainability, anything that threatens their corporate stronghold, their tyranny and oppression. They will target those who speak out against their terrorism, but they are only creating more dedicated warriors. We seek to change our system and give it the power to help us. POSITIVE ACTION!

[All4Norway]

Is this from Kongo or Kirgistan?

[slipcock21]

Stupid disgusting

[AustinIsGo]

@slipcock21 iif that is how you feel . why post a comment dumbass

[TheSweaterKid]

was the first guy introducing his boyfriend in a picture where hes wearing a priest get up ? lol

[keeza333]

I'm a hardcore conservative when it comes to politics . I had no clue of how this worked when someone dies . This is robbery . If I rob someone or steal I would be sent to jail , when the government does it , they get away with it . Hopefully someone can make this an issue with Congress . Though social security will be completely bankrupt by the time i'm old enough to get it with healthcare bailouts and earmarks , until the moneys gone it should go to those it belongs to .

[sylvia8anka]

the message of the video DONT BE GAY

[vim92]

@sylvia8anka

wtf is wrong with you. Like its a choice.

[josehernandez2525]

This is rubbish. Cancel all social security for everyone under 30.

[EatSleepBreathMovies]

To everyone in this video or who worked on it, thank you. Thank you so much. I am a young gay man, and as tough as coming out and accepting myself was, it's nothing compared to what you went through and that is because of all your hard work. I am inspired by this story and many others like it, and do whatever I can to advocate for our equality and wake others of my generation up to this injustice. We will win someday, and I'm confident that someday is soon

[TheCircusReject]

@EatSleepBreathMovies You are strong, and even if a lot of people say that you're a freak and you're wrong, you've got an uprising behind you; like it or not, the new generation isn't going to stand for this.

I know I'll never stop fighting.

[chadrat420]

Please tell your friends that separate is not equal. Civil Unions/Domestic Partnerships DO NOT get same rights as married couples.

[TheCircusReject]

@chadrat420 HEAR HEAR! That's like saying the Jim Crowe laws were equal; it's a blatant, hurtful lie!

[lindsayfemme]

This is so sad.

[smalldreamscomedy]

Hey Ankefilms, the video works fine for me, maybe embed it non-HD so that it loads and plays quicker?

[ankefilms]

I want to finish this video and post it to me facebook, but the streaming keeps breaking it up. Can you fix this?

[ankefilms]

This video keeps breaking up. What's wrong?
