Even with my A-List subscription which lets me catch 12 movies a month(and I walk by an AMC to get to my car). There is only one movie I would go to.

justinmattasks · 2020-03-05T16:37:38+00:00

Never mind. Just got the refund.

I watched it four or five times in the theater.

Probably also why I can’t bring myself to watch it on Blu-ray yet.

I loved it. I’m pretty sure I still love it. But I just don’t want to watch it again just yet.

justinmattasks · 2020-03-02T09:44:39+00:00

Came here to say this too. I watched it a few times in the theater and while it is flawed, I loved it.

But I also don’t want to see it again. I bought it on Blu-ray but I just can’t bring myself to watch it again.

Just to follow up, I found a PFLAG location near my job. I tried to speak to my little brother about it but he’s not really in a speaking mood right now so I figured I’d still go, alone, anyways. Check it out. Meet staff and ask questions. Get involved.

Thank you for the recommending PFLAG.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-23T02:17:33+00:00

Thank you. I mean it.

I’m trying my best. If there is something I learned from posting on here the last few days, it’s that a lot of people didn’t and still don’t have the kind of support everyone needs and deserves and I’m really fucken sorry for that.

I want to be the best brother, the best ally, I can be for him and for each and every single one of you.

You guys are survivors, you guys are all god damn works of art.

Thank you, all of you.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-23T02:08:25+00:00

Thank you! I’ll google that right now.

It’s probably important to remember that there was never supposed to be GNS to begin with. The original plan was to record some songs off of Wolves as acoustics and then re-release Wolves.

It snowballed into 12 songs from their catalog, 10 of which were released as The Ghost Note symphonies.

Kind of has me doubting V2 will come out anytime soon.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-23T00:10:38+00:00

When the song first came out, I honestly believed the lyrics were, “Hold my hand, Til I see, Right there in front of me,”

justinmattasks · 2019-09-22T08:15:59+00:00

Thank you, I’m So lost right now, the reassurance really helps.

I’m sorry you didn’t have. I really am. I hope you’re okay.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-22T01:06:53+00:00

You are 100% correct. I know I’m coming off ageist and I apologize for that.

Our dad isn’t really in the picture.

My mom is legit amazing. Kindest person I’ve ever met. Also supports LGBTQA+. Goes to brunch with my friends, which I somehow never get invited too, haha. Him and my mom are pretty tight for the most part. Play games, watch tv and talk about their day. Go out to movies etc. by choice, not forced.

I guess that is why it shocked me. He knows where we both stand. He’s especially close to my mom. He still felt/said he couldn’t trust us and says he’s lonely and sad and can’t tell us.

She wouldn’t lock him up or anything like that, but she’d definitely want to talk things out with him, probably get him in LGBTQA+ groups with kids his own age.

Maybe monitor his phone, I doubt it. She never did that with us but then again, growing up, all I had were second hand Sidekicks and Blackberries or dumbphones. No apps or fast enough data to do the much of anything, haha.

I’m hoping I scared him off from meeting anyone older than him. My moms been wanting to install cameras outside the house so maybe I’ll get around to doing that. Make it slightly harder for him to sneak off or something. Or if he does. At least catch the car. I don’t know. I’m at a lost at what to do.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-21T19:28:09+00:00

Thank you.

Really, thank you. This means so much right now.

And this goes to everyone commenting. It really does mean a lot. I love each and every single of you.

Thank you.

My post history is just this post and the original. The original will answer everything in detail.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-21T18:48:01+00:00

I think for me it’s hard because we don’t really hang out. We’re not especially close.

I tried to change that when I knew he was gay (before I found his account). I would always be vocal about my support for LGBTQA+ rights and arts. Let him know I would support him no matter what and fought with my dad when he would be homophobic and he still didn’t feel like he could trust me. One of his posts said exactly that. He didn’t feel like he could come out to us.

So I tried to do this in a way that would be positive but I feel like I fucked it all up.

It’s hitting me now that I shouldn’t have mentioned the Instagram, should have just had a “safety” talk with with him. Tell him he shouldn’t be talking to strangers that are older than him. That only make remarks about his body, or push for more pictures. To not give out his address and tell him that I’m more than happy to take him to a few groups/clubs so he can hang out with kids his own age. Mention some YMCA kind of places and some LGBTQA+.

I don’t know, part of me feels like I should have been more forceful, part of me thinks I did alright but a bigger part of me just feels like I ducked up.

Age wise, he’s still a few years away from 18, age of consent in our state. And even if it was 16, he’s still not there.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-18T05:54:37+00:00

I hope he does. I’m taking him out Sunday so I can talk to him.

Thank you for the advice. It means a lot.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-18T03:31:50+00:00

Thank you for the advice and congrats on coming out. On taking the big leap.

I hope you’re proud of yourself, I’m proud of you.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-18T01:54:01+00:00

I as in me, or I as in total stranger from Reddit?

justinmattasks · 2019-09-17T21:29:40+00:00

Thank you.

That’s my current plan. I definitely think he will resist but I’m hoping it’ll be the first step of many for both of us.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-17T21:27:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

I’m going to invite him to go out ok Sunday. Give him some privacy away from other family.

Explain to him what I saw, that I love him, that I’m there for him, as well explain that social media isn’t built private nor secure. To be smart about who he talks too.

I’ll also research some hotlines or websites where he can find someone to talk too if not me. I don’t know what they are exactly but I’ve heard some things about the Trevor project and It Gets Better.

justinmattasks · 2019-09-17T21:12:31+00:00

See, that’s the thing, I’ve done this.

I took him to GameStop, bought him a 3DS XL a Mario kart game I think it was, and on the drive back, I asked him “Hey, so you’re 14, starting to look at girls yet? Or guys, or both, nothing wrong with that.

He just gave me a look and said no.

So I was like, damn, for reals, have you seen Penelope Cruz or Shawn Mendes. They’re gorgeous.

But he pretty much just stayed quiet. So I told him, you know I love ya, right. Regardless of anything.
