Why do Gays get Bullied?

Why do Gays get Bullied?

This is a short film explaining RW Connell's theory of hegemonic masculinity, subordination of other masculinities, and the concept of complicit action among men of nonhegemonic masculinities. 

Most importantly, my aim in this film was to make such theoretical concepts more accessible towards the common viewer who may not have taken a gender studies class. The knowledge learned in SWMS-210 can be used to create significant societal impact, after all, if phrased correctly. 

Thus, this film is a call to action - telling a story of a gay student in school getting bullied for his nonhegemonic masculinity expression, searching on Google for explanations, and finally asking the fundamental question of why do gays get bullied.

Finally, after the explanation of the reason behind the bullying, the importance of this topic is explained, as well as calling the viewer to action, giving the power of changing society's hierarchy and definition of masculinities to the viewer.
