Because no one creates their own identity around a singular trait or community, those differing ways of explaining who we are can often collide, sometimes in opposition. In this video we see Singaporean LGBT identified people and their families coming together in a positive way. Different aspects of our identities are constantly intersecting. In this case, the two pieces of one person’s identity coming together are their sexuality and family identities and both of these are unchangeable. You are born to a certain family and you are born with a certain sexuality. Perhaps that makes these two so difficult to reconcile. Here, however, in the space of this video, these families are able to accept all parts of each other’s personas.
