I Want To Know What It's Like

These outstanding men and women want to know what it's like to feel wanted, loved, and accepted.  And quite frankly so do I.  What is it like to feel like I belong, to feel like I'm strong, that who I am isn't wrong?  What is it like to not feel like a freak, weak, or to be silenced when I speak?  These are the words echoed throughout this short film by Ryan James Yezak.  And what an amazing film it is.

Yezak has released a series of inspiring short films over the last few weeks in reference to his new documentary "Second Class Citizens" and his latest film below is no exception.  Each of these films leaves the viewer with an overwhelming feeling, that we as Americans deserve to be heard, deserve to love who we love, that we matter in a country that doesn't give equal protection under the law.  Thank you Ryan! I will continue to blog about your wonderful work so long as I live.

Documentaries To Watch: Second Class Citizens

A documentary which began as a fruition is on a promising track to become a reality.  

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

We R Who We R

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a fan of Ryan James Yezak's work, and I absolutely love his music video parodies.  The last one I posted was a parody to Rihanna's "Only Girl In The World".

The aforementioned parody titled, "Only Gay In The World" premiered earlier this month, and I thought it was utterly fabulous!  In the video below, Ryan features Kesha's dancing hit, "We R Who We R," which he posted late last year.  In it, you have guys kissing, superheros prancing, a sexy teacher teaching students that homosexuality is a sin, and lots, and lots of hot guys dancing.  I mean, what more could you ask for?

Only Gay In The World - Video Premiere

I absolutely love Ryan James Yezak's music video parodies, they are the best!  I guess the fact that I'm Facebook friends with some of his performers makes me bias. NOT!!!  I would still love him and his excellent work.

A month ago I posted a parody to Britney Spears track, "Hold It Against Me," and it was much better than Britney's own video - not lying.  Ryan really puts a lot of time and effort into making these videos, and I highly doubt it's not costing him anything.

It's was a long time coming, but his next video parody has made it online, and as promised, it is titled, "Only Gay In The World," in reference to Rihanna's hit song, "Only Girl In The World."  As usual, the video is filled with hot, shirtless guys, and it follows a couple of gay kings, a cheerleader squad, some football players, gays in the military and ends with a reception preceded by a gay 'ol fabulous wedding.

Check it out - you're gonna love it! 

WOAH OH OH OH, Hold It Against Me!

And this is how Britney should have done 'Hold It Against Me,' instead of the craziness that was her music video.  Not only, is Ryan James Yezak's video totally hot, it's totally cool.  Awesomeness at it's best.  Check it out and tell me what you think.
