Pride

03:31:00

It always makes me surprised how little time passed from the times when homosexuality was illegal when people of a different orientation were not only persecuted but also rejected by their friends and family. Not so long ago that was an issue in the UK. Not so long ago the idea of gay marriage, civil partnership and the adoption of kids weren't even considered. It is still an issue in many European countries which seem to a bit far behind Western Europe not only in terms of salaries but also in terms of tolerance. Acceptance is a hard lesson and unless we are directly connected with the discriminated group, we rarely make an effort to understand, tolerate and respect. What came from the clash of gays and lesbians with the miners? Can people who have so much apart have something in common? Pride.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
