Tears In My Eyes
Fifty years ago, Norway decriminalized being gay.
Fifty years ago.
As a 64-year-old gay man, I well remember how important it was to hide, for many decades, who I am.
Well, the Norway Postal Service decided to celebrate this important 50th-anniversary with an extraordinary small film. I have never seen anything like it. With each viewing I am moved to tears.

What a beautiful commercial! Everyone deserves happiness.
Ross I’m crying too! I can’t imagine how hard it must be to have to live with so much of yourself being kept a secret, and how dangerous those secrets used to be too. Thank you for sharing.
Love this so much! *cries in bisexual*
OMG that is so beautiful!
That was lovely.
Thank you for sharing it.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Beautiful. So sad nothing like that would ever play in the US. I am so proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. You are a brave, wonderful soul. 🙂
So sweet. Going into this Christmas my wife has just had a stroke but we are as sweet together as ever. Love to you Ross and extra hugs for the many hours of thought and entertainment you have given me.
Ross, that was a very moving and beautiful video. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Amazing. Happy holy days!
Dearly miss my brother who passed in 2013, 30 years HIV+.
So sorry for your loss.
Thank you, that was beautiful. And yes, I cried.
