Don’t Be Such A published a short film that investigates the misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding lesbian life today. “Don’t Be Such A” is a YouTube channel created by British filmmaker and presenter, Jana Dowling. She created the channel to help bring awareness about certain issues.

“When I was young I thought the worse thing you could be was a lesbian.  At school we through the word around as an insult without giving it much thought. I even used to pray not to be gay,” Dowling states at the beginning of the film.

“Don’t Be Such A… came about because I realised as a kid the words don’t be such a lesbian flew out of my mouth way too often and always as an insult. Being a lesbian was the worst thing you could be as far as I was concerned. It was only ever spoken about in a negative way. I feel incredibly lucky that I am proud and happy to be open about my sexuality today, but I know sadly that isn’t always the experience for others.” ~ Jana Dowling
