Ngenkathi ukuxoxwa kwethu kuqhubeka, izingxoxo zaphendukela esikhathini esizayo nakwezinye izinkanuko empilweni kaMnu. Reddick. Sengilincomile, isikhathi eside, iqiniso lokuthi uphila impilo yakhe njengendoda eyisitabane obala ukuze ibonwe yibo bonke yize lokho kungadumile kakhulu “kumasudi aseHollywood” ikakhulukazi ngoba uzama ukubhala izinhlamvu ze-LGBT zibe ziningi imibhalo yakhe ngangokunokwenzeka.

Njengesibonelo, waqala ukungitshela ngokwenza ifilimu yakhe Tamara. Ezingqungqutheleni zokuqala umlingiswa oyinhloko, uChloe, wayephuma njengomlingani wobungqingili emndenini wakhe esiqeshini sefilimu. Ngesinye isikhathi, abazali bakhe bazama nokumbulala ukuze agcine imfihlo yakhe ifihliwe.

Kwesinye isigcawu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kule filimu, uTamara emzameni wakhe wokuziphindiselela ukhomba amajoksi amabili amancane adlwengule ezinye izintokazi. Uphonsa iziphonso kubo futhi embhalweni, uphoqa omunye ukuthi adlwengule omunye njengesijeziso. Ngosuku olungaphambi kokudubula, uReddick wathola ucingo lubuzwa kahle ukuthi wayehlose ukuthi lokho kube njani.

“Ngibatshele ukuthi akumele kube yisithombe socansi futhi akufanele ngabe siyanxanela. Kumele kube nodlame nolwesabekayo ngakho-ke vele ukhombise ongakukhombisa uma kungowesifazane odlwengulwayo, ”kuchaza yena. “Ekugcineni lapho ngibona ifilimu safika kuleyo ndawo futhi sengifana nokuthi 'Uyangibhuqa!'. Bahlunga ukuqabulana bese besembhedeni ngaphansi kwamashidi begqoke izingubo zabo bese ngiyafona ngibuze 'Yini le?' Bangitshele ukuthi abalingisi babenovalo ngempela nokuthi omunye wabo wayeyindodana yomkhiqizi ngakho baqopha ababengakwenza futhi ngicabanga ukuthi 'O ngokukhala kakhulu! Uma bengenakukwazi ukuyisingatha, vumela umlingisi wezitabane abambe iqhaza! '”

Umbhali uyavuma ukuthi ukubonakala kwakhe kuyinto azizwa ebalulekile, noma kunjalo. Uthole izingcingo nezincwadi kule minyaka edlule zivela ezinsizweni nakubantu besifazane abasebasha abavuma ukuthi ukuthola umfana obhale ifilimu eyethusayo abayithandayo kwakuyizitabane empeleni kwabagcina bengazibulali. Futhi-ke, uyaqhubeka nokubhala abalingiswa futhi alwele ukufakwa kwabo kumafilimu enziwe ngemibhalo yakhe noma ngabe abangane bakhe nozakwabo bembuza ukuthi kungani.

Umuntu ongenza ngempumelelo lokho ayekuhlosile. Ingane ezichazayo eyayiyi-hillbilly emagqumeni aseKentucky isikhule yaba ngumbhali oziqinisekisayo oxoxa izindaba ezethusayo.
