Call Me by Your Name

‎I stumbled upon a comment on TikTok. It was under an edit about the movie Call Me by Your Name. I haven't actually watched it because I'm afraid I'll become dehydrated from crying too much... Basically, the comment said how meaningful it is to say that phrase to someone you love. You call that person by your name and vice versa—a homage to the idea that you both share the same name and are essentially one person, one heart, and one soul.

‎

‎Then just today, I saw an Instagram reel. The background music was "Mystery of Love" from the movie, and it showed Dean Withers debating a homophobic man. During the debate, this man spoke the most heartwarming and awe-inspiring description of what love is—loving someone as a person and basically not caring what they look like or what their sex is. It was beautiful, yet he still refused to accept who he really is because of his environment and the beliefs he holds onto so tightly. I felt bad for him. He sounded so in love when he spoke about the guy he had kissed; the tone and the emotion just flowed out of his words. And yet, he restrains and denies himself that love simply because of his religious beliefs, or just beliefs in general.

‎A thought came over me once again. If everyone loves, and if God taught us to love our neighbors—to love others as we love ourselves—then why is loving a person of the same sex a sin? Why is it something to crucify a person for? If what God really taught was love, why is the very religion built on his teachings the one restricting people from loving? This fear of religious beliefs and of sinning has turned so many loving hearts and souls into empty shells. It forces them to deny who they are, refuse to believe what they feel, and in some cases, it even leads to their deaths—all when they simply want to love the person they hold close to their hearts, loudly and unapologetically. How long will society force people to deny who they want to love, and keep them from finding that one person they will eventually call by their own name?
