This movie was an amazing movie. It showed Brandon’s real struggle and longing to be accepted. “Boys Don’t Cry” shows the unacceptance of people who are different, whether they be black, gay, transgender, etc. I personally formed a connection with both Brandon and Lana’s characters. When bad things happened to Brandon I felt for him, when Lana loved Brandon and saw him for who he really was despite what he is on the outside I got really emotional. This movie repeatedly attacked my emotions and made me feel, sad, happy, angry, and disgusted, among many other emotions. I would definitely recommend this movie to not only my fellow classmates in my social work classes, but also my friends, and anyone who is looking to understand the life of a transgender person more. This movie does a good job showing the daily struggles Brandon had to deal with. As a social worker these types of issues would be things we would deal with. We could be working with a transgender individual to help them find support, understanding, and acceptance. We could also be helping their families find these things as well which in turn would help the transgender individual as well. We will advocate for their rights to equality and stand up to the discrimination of LGBT
