Documentaries To Watch: Always My Son
When I first saw this video 2 years ago I was struck by how close it hit to home. It was hard enough being hispanic in a country where we're considered a minority. But I also had to lie to keep my homosexuality a secret from the people I cared most about, and it tore me up inside. I would pray to God every night hoping he would fix me. Little did I know, he couldn't fix what he had created.

Being hispanic in Texas isn't hard since its common knowledge that this a Hispanic majority state.
Well, when I was in elementary school I had white teachers who would use a ruler, slap my hand with them, and tell me that spanish isn't the language of this country. I would go home crying to my parents. My parents would complain, but white principal in a majority hispanic town and school still didn't do anything about it. Furthermore, It may be more hispanic state today, but I know of towns near houston that are full of white people that still do cross burnings and shit, so while the state is becoming more hispanic, we still have a long, long way to go in this state.
Well of course the country has further to go in many aspects....and anything east of Houston and Dallas is basically the beginning of "The South" , so thats no surprise. You have to consider, however that you can recall these incidents from youth and yet you're still young, which shows how quickly change can occur & be grateful for such change in such time.
Well said Rock!
Great video. I wish all gay kids were this fortunate to have such loving parents.
