daambroz A frank look at the "last closet," this film will change lives for the better.
jmiller21 This documentary, while mildly interesting, does little to promote a balance approach to the issue of gay athletes in sports. It presupposes that the LGBTQ community is in the right and the predominant culture, the traditions and religions of society are somehow in the wrong. Perhaps the reason that few athletes come out of the closet is that sports is still an arena that respects rules and right and wrong. The documentary expects us to sympathize with people who choose to make themselves God and choose their own path rather than the one that they were created to follow. The phrase "living authentically" was repeated as some sort of mantra, when it is at least as equally right to live according to the beliefs and truths of virtually the entire world's religious teachings. Being on the supposed right side of history does not necessarily coincide with being on the right side of God and there are countless stories in history that show that the acceptance of immortality ultimately leads to the collapse of once great societies.
