Watched the "The Danish Girl", Drama of Transgender Life
Got the chance to watch “The Danish Girl” which is about a married couple
Gerda Wegener (played by Alicia Vikander) and Einar Wegener / Lili Elbe (played by Eddie Redmayne), and it's a very sad story.
Einar and Gerda are both talented artist in Copenhagen back in 1926. When a model back out for a portrait, Einar in for her and he wore stockings and a dress. The even affect Einar emotionally, shown through his face. It expose him to his real passion. His wife caught him wearing her nightgown underneath his male clothing, and Einar begins to embrace being a woman. Gerda’s story is heartbreaking, she sticks with her husband despite of that. It's all about a struggling marriage rocked by his husband transformation.
The “The Danish Girl” is Tom Hooper’s new film and it embraces the LGBT community. The film boast fine camerawork, and largely good writing.
The story is based on David Ebershoff’s novel of the same name.

Wentworth Miller is Gay
Wentworth Miller has come out of the closet. The Prison Break actor now 41 went public with the news in a letter to Petersburg International Film Festival director Maria Averbakh, who had invited him to attend.
In the letter, Miller thanked Averbakh for the "kind invitation" but turned it down because, "As a gay man … I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government."
"The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly. … If circumstances improve, I'll be free to make a different choice," he added.
The actor was referring to the recent anti-LGBT legislation passed by Russia. Signed by President Vladimir Putin in June, the law bans the "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" and imposes hefty fines for providing information about the gay community to minors or holding gay pride rallies, the Associated Press reports.
However, what is troubling is why LGBT is focusing only in Russia when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Mozambique, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Kuwait, and Malaysia have laws against Gays. Also in Saudi Arabia if you are found to be gay, your head will be cut-off.
