Brutal honesty

There were several sad truths which manifested themselves in this very bleak but poignant short; 1) Cultures that are the most sexually repressed tend to turn to drugs and alcohol 2) The more someone has to hide in plain sight, the more of a propensity for an eventual melt-down...especially when plain sight is actually the limelight/public eye 3) Despite any/all "warning signs", unless we take a conscious look at the person next to us, we will probably miss them, since most humans have a propensity towards only looking after ourselves. Well done, if not a bit predictable and dated (even in the sports community, being gay isn't the end of a career anymore).
