Glad those days are behind me. Progress, as I like to say, is the ability to look back and ask "What the hell was I thinking?"

Growiing up in WV

I enjoyed listening to Jared. I shared some of his experiences.

I grew up in Northern West Virginia (at the bottom of the N Panhandle) and life was pretty slow. People didn't seem in a hurry.

I remember watching movies like Birdcage with my parents. I didn't think anything of the characters. I thought they were just really happy and excited. I had no idea they were gay.

We watched Will and Grace and the top of gay never came up. It must have gone over my head or we never discussed it.

There were plenty of guys in my school that acted like girls or where more flambouyant. I just thought they were emotional guys who couldn't keep their feelings in.

It wasn't until I went to college in the southern part of the state (Marshall University) that I saw diversity. There weren't any black people or spanish people in my town. Everyone was white. It was there that I learned about LBGT people. It was an overwhelming experience.

It made me feel like a homophobe and a racist. I had nothing against these people, but I didn't know anything about them. I wasn't prepared for this since I went to an all white school and was in a very Christian town.

I go back home sometimes and feel like I'm the only progressive one there. Everyone there talks about their guns and that damn president taking them all away. Most of them think Obama wasn't born here. They don't believe gay people deserve any rights and are all going to hell.

I related to Jared on this show and hope to see him on again.

My friends showed me the "Whites" documentary b/c they thought it was so hilarious...I was really disgusted by how much of a joke they thought these people lives were. I actually felt like the movie was pretty compassionate toward them.

It's an interesting movie though, definitely worth watching.

I'll stand by it. I don't think watching people self-destructing is funny at all. When I was doing my counseling internship at our local prison, or running a sexual assault support group, or listening to drug and alcohol addicts, and so on, I saw and worked with people like the Whites, or people who were in some ways much worse off. It doesn't amuse me.

As to whether or not the documentary was compassionate or not, that is the what I got out of it. But, I'm sure I see people in a different way than many do, and it's possible that I might be projecting my own sense of compassion onto the movie.
