To all those watching Do something nice for somebody else today. Not for any particular reason. Just because it is the right thing to do.

Joel Burns est un élu municipal de Fort Worth, au Texas. Lors d'un conseil, le 12 octobre 2010, il a choisi de parler de la montée de la violence envers la population homosexuelle en prenant l'exemple de plusieurs adolescents homosexuels qui se sont suicidés récemment. Il explique ensuite comment il a vécu son homosexualité en tant qu'adolescent. J'ai traduit son discours moi-même, c'est pourquoi la traduction peut parfois sembler confuse et ne pas être parfaitement exacte. Il me semblait très important que cette vidéo soit accessible aux français, quand on voit que la France est un des 4 seuls pays européens à ne pas reconnaître d'union homosexuelle de valeur égale au mariage. L'homosexualité est encore passible de peine de mort dans quelques pays africains (Mauritanie, Somalie, Yémen) et asiatiques. Elle est aussi passible de prison notamment dans les pays du Maghreb et d'Asie du sud-est (source : le Monde Hors série "L'atlas des Mondialisations" 2010-2011.) Mais l'homophobie apparaît aussi sous d'autres formes de violence, plus perverses, lâches, et qui conduisent les plus sensibles au suicide. Harcèlement moral, agressions, menaces... Je me demande souvent dans quel monde arriéré nous vivons?

Even though I'm not gay, it speaks to me. I wish I could have heard it years back when I was going through a hard time. This man is great, and this video is a blessing.
