Amos became aware of his homosexuality as a child and kept it a secret as long as he remained within the Jehovah's Witness community. When he left, at the age of 24, he did not take that extra step to empower himself in his most authentic identity: he did not declare himself homosexual. He simply walked away, citing loss of faith as his motivation. It could not have been any other way then; there was too much suffering and too much fear to be able to make even that gesture of consistency toward himself. His coming-out, however, still remains somewhat incomplete because the last and most important milestone is missing: unveiling to his mother and officially disassociating from the congregation. Today, perhaps, that moment has arrived, and the artistic and human motivation that moves me to make this work lies in this intent: to help Amos complete his self-determination, freeing himself from the need for maternal acceptance that he never received.
