The Sundance Film Festival had a couple gay themed movies entered this year. Among them, a documentary on V. Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal bishop and a short film by a gay Korean-American man named Ahn Dol who tried to use his project to come out to his family. I'm not sure what made him think that would be a good idea. He says he did not have it in him to come out to his parents and family but knew they would come watch his movie. Surprise, surprise, his plan did not go as he hoped.
After the credits rolled they said 'Oh, is that it?'. I just started crying because I built up the moment so much, and I knew that they were in denial, that I could have taken the DVD, gone back to my room and they wouldn't have said a thing.
