    Title is ...
    ... well the title is quite telling. And there is a pun to be honest. Because obviously while this is telling us to be inclusive, while this is telling us to let people be who they want to be - it also shows us the harsh reality. That if people open up about who they are or want to be ... well society is laughing in their face (literally).

    Which can bring up an ugly side in the person who is being laughed at - also quite literally. Good effects, but the mood changes are a bit too much for me. From slow and peaceful to quite radical and mayhem. Of course this is meant to show a mental state and you may like the way it is done.

    Also the music and the songs deserve a 10 out of 10. You can not have issues with inclusiveness, you can not be a bigot - otherwise you will have a lots of issues with the short movie itself. Hopefully you can see that (no pun intended)
