    Shane, after watching some of the posts on youtube, may I say Oh What A Dance It Was! You danced in the laughter, you danced through the love, you danced through the life you shared, You danced in the sunshine, you danced in the dark, you danced past the hate, you danced past the rejection. You danced in you heart, you danced in your minds. You danced across the world, you danced into the hearts of millions. You and Tom Shall dance again. Oh what a dance it shall be, My heart goes out to you.

    Shane and Tom's love story is timeless. I am 80 yrs. old and was led to the movie. I really want to meet these two in eternity. Shane, love again for Tom.

    I came across the documentary recently & was very moved by these 2 men, their loving relationship & their supportive friends. It would be a great doco to show to high school students.
    I hope that Shane is travelling OK, and has love in his life.

    Tom and Shane were so wonderful together, and just wanted to share there love to the
    world. They were pioneers, and Tom so gorgeous. Shane adorable.Thank you for posting.

    It's so sad that his family denied you the privilege to attend his service..when they know that you guys were together..love does comes thru gender it comes from two hearts coming together..love has many faces..just be thankful that you found love sweetheart...I personally was inspired by watching your videos I know that it's 2019 but love transcends the barriers of time...love it the true meaning of life's fulfillment and please know that love does not die with our love ones it's still here with you...just continue the love story that you guys started with joy in your heart...Carolyn from coconut creek Florida

    I came upon this video by chance... I love everything you shared here with the world... Tonight when I go to the Church I shall light a candle for Thomas that he will inherit Eternal Life in the Heavenly Kingdom prepared for him before all ages....And for Shane. May God give you healing of Mind, Soul and Body as you mourn the Loss of the One Whom You Loved with Unconditional Love... the greatest of All Love ... the Love that ONLY Gives expecting nothing in return. I shall keep both of You in My Prayers. Thank YOU for embracing the Love of Christ in Your Life... May Thomas" s Memory be Eternall! In the Love of Christ! A Total Stranger.

    Hey I'm from the Middle East and when I saw this documentary I cried so much and also realized that there is something called true love and that came from watching Shane and Tom. Their friendship and love was magical.
    Love u Shane and R.I.P Tom.

      These people who hate tells me they've never experienced love in any way, shape or form or else they'd know you shouldn't fight against love. Wonder what's in their Bible that I'm not getting. Does their "God" condone hate cause it sure seems like it. Tom and Shane forever into eternity😔😰

    I watched the documentary 4 months ago and I'm still watching it and still saddens me, I mean, they were really happy and cute together, they had it all and it all vanished in one blink, love like this shouldn't be hidden or being afraid of anything or anybody, the lesson this leaves us is to always feel proud of our feelings for our beloved ones.

    This is lovely. I watched the documentary and it ripped my heart out. I don't understand how Tom's family could fail to understand the depth of the love that Tom and Shane had for each other and how important Shane was to their son. I hope that someday they understand. Sometimes the realization that you were wrong comes over time and sometimes it strikes all at once.
    Social progress is often slow, but I feel like we're making progress. We just have to make sure not to let it go backwards.

    this was a A amazing movie and story I watched that movie on Netflix and youtube so many times and I still think about it. today. and I fall in love with their love Michael you may have you opinion out here but people don't have to like it. many other people have had different lives. My thoughts about it is, love is love you shouldn't be judged for loving or caring for that person no matter if it is a girl with girl or guy with guy. I totally support gays and lesbians and bi and trans

    Shane I am so sorry for your loss. I just recently heard of this movie as I was relating a situation to a friend of mine similar to this and he told me I had to view this...broke my heart. I had a friend whos partner was much longer and they had been together secretly for five years. The younger became ill AIDS and when he passed away my friend was forbidden to view him or come to the funereal. The day of the funereal he slipped into the back of the Church quietly but the Grandmother saw him and screamed "get him out of this church" he killed my Grandson..

I hope that Shane will find love again when he is ready, i sure think that Tom would have wanted that for him because he loved him so much! God bless you and don’t let anyone tell you that he’s not ! 💁🏼❤️❤️🌹
