- There is a theme of discrimination running through the documentary as a whole, which includes use of discriminatory and homophobic language (e.g. 'faggot', 'fag', 'dyke', 'fairy', 'sissy' and 'pansy'). The filmmaker paints a picture of how rigid societal ideals at the time caused him to hide and repress his true identity, resulting in years of internalised homophobia. However, the documentary also tells of how the filmmaker and his family have come to terms and accepted who he is. There are undetailed references to sexual violence.
