Just saw it again in Netflix but I think they shortened that scene. I remember both crying after Rayon asks "how's mom" and I found it very touching but is not in the Netflix version. Am I crazy?

I don't remember the first time when I watched it a few years ago. But I just rewatched it on HBO and neither are crying after he asks about his mom. I believe they just cut to the next scene after he asks.
shareThis is sad. I am straight woman w/out aids but I was cut off from my parents b/c they could not deal w my being person w epilepsy who worked. Leto really captured how people get disowned from their parents for reasons we cannot help.
shareYour parents cut you out of their lives for working while you have a disability? You’d think that would make them more attentive.
shareDifferent (and older) generation.....it just 'suddenly' dawned on my father that I would be in 'work' spaces. And nobody had really ever explained to them what ADA was or what it involved.
So they panicked and instead of looking it up, told me to go away.
That’s just weird and makes no sense at all. What did they say to you? I have no clue as to why this would cause them to kick you out.
shareThey did not physically kick me out. I was already living on my own by then.
They just told me to leave them alone. Don't contact them anymore.
Hate/panic doesn't make sense. The lack of sense is why it's detrimental to society.
Cutting ties over someone being gay or dropping a religion does make sense though. There are reasons behind it that are clearly responsible for the anger and frustration. Your choice to work while you have epilepsy doesn’t equate at all with why your parents cut ties, what was their reasoning?
shareIt just made them uncomfortable. They had been in this world where they (incorrectly) believed that they did not work with/around people with epilepsy. They did not understand that they already did work with people with disabilities before I entered the workplace and there was no 'separate dimension' between them and people with disabilities including epilepsy.
Cutting ties doesn't have a reason. It's still hate/panic based on fear of the unknown and different.
Rayon?
