Project “We will become better” supports Queer House, a shelter (https://mcclgbt.com/en/shelter/) for LGBTQI+ people in difficult straits. 

Background:  

Homophobic amendments to the Constitution of Russia, more and more new drafts of state laws aimed at infringing on the rights of the LGBT community, exacerbate the situation of safe living in the country for 8% of the population. That is, 11 million people.

LGBT people are faced with contempt, harassment, violence and threats to life from the society, including even close relatives, on a daily basis. 

They are forced to stay “in the closet” and keep relationships with their loved ones a secret — in order just to stay alive. 

According to a national analytic center, 56% of Russians have a negative attitude towards LGBTIQ people, 39% - neutral and only 3% - positive one.

Inspired by real stories of people hiding in Queer House, we decided to make a music video to a song by Sansara and RSAC (https://youtu.be/XnbTfKdschc) 

We need money for the video production. Director’s treatment is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K0WKNjl6dDoNmqv7sJ5PExoQeSny6_Oj9EXS1Jt708o/edit#gid=0 

Lyrics 

“Wake up from your dream, come out of your coma, 

Hurry up to leave the dark rooms,

Leave the house, step out from the circle, 

We will become better, but without each other, 

We will become better, but without each other, 

We will become better…”

The project’s slogan is: Those in love must have freedom to be with each other. 

The project includes editorial materials, interviews and stories of Queer House residents. All information will be published on one of Russia’s most influential Internet media (TBD), or on a landing page (because of the law prohibiting the media from promoting LGBT). 

We hope you support the project. We believe it’s going to touch people’s hearts and change the public attitude towards LGBT community.
