Filmmaker Ryan James Yezak is currently working on a documentary sure to win the hearts of millions around the world, but most importantly, let it be known that it is okay to be gay.
Hoping to garner $50,000 in order to make his film "Second Class Citizens", Yezak raised $47,000 dollars in less than 24 hours, and has so far been pledged $140,000. If you wish to donate and be a part of this great movement, please go here and make a pledge.
A countless number of people have shared the following video which will bring you to tears once you get to the end. Ellen DeGeneres chimes in, "Larry was not a second class citizen. I am not a second class citizen. It is okay if you're gay."
"I want to make a documentary that encompasses all areas in which we are discriminated against. The general population is not aware that discrimination against the gay community goes beyond marriage & bullying. There is far too much hate directed towards our community and I want to capture that hate on camera. In addition, I want to explore where this hate comes from, why it continues to exist, and what we must do to get rid of it. A better solution is needed because the solution we have right now isn't working fast enough.
I am not a second class citizen. You are not a second class citizen. Right now, the laws in place (and lack thereof) say that we are. Let's change that." - Ryan James Yezak

What a great video! Can't wait!
I like this guy, he is the shit. I love all his videos!
:(.........
We've come so far, but still have miles to go, before we can truly reach equality. I'm crying my eyes out right now and just can't stop. What an emotionally brilliant teaser trailer to a hopefully soon to be excellent full length documentary. I want to help him and donate something, anything. This film must be made.
