To Steve from another Steve. Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us. I have been with my love for 54 yrs. We just picked up the ashes of our 13 yr old baby today. She will always be with us. Kindred spirits are all around us and God enables us to experience them at just the right time. I hope you are healthy, happy and full of life. ps: I wish I was sitting on the fender of that truck back then. I think in the “now” we would of had a meaningful experience together. Yet, we are guided in our journey to eternity……❤️
I had a married men try and pick me up in bar a couple of times. It was creepy man. Creepier than an out gay guy hitting on me for some reason. I'm not gay was just trying to be friendly. I just thought why are they still in the closet hurting their wives during this day and age. It must have been like this all the time in the 1950s for gay people.
I relate to Steve in always having a place in your heart for your ex that you can never release. My first boyfriend died from AIDS in Jan 1993. I had partners after that, but have been single since 2004...and being 65 now, I'm afraid I'm past my gay expiration date. Lol. Was Steve able to keep his house? It would be so sad if he had to leave such a place given to him by the love of his life. Best wishes to you both. I loved the documentary.
I understand your heart being broken. Fint died as I held him. I did loose my home and factory and for the past few years have been going through cancer treatments... its OK I am probably at ease with being settled with a simple life now..
the lining up of the expression of desire is the same for straight couples except that women do not know it. women are NEVER EVER taught that they have a mode of expression or likes/dislikes. Many women do not choose their mate on sexual chemistry and one thing I know for sure: THAT IS A BIG MISTAKE.
Hi. I saw your video, and focused on the shaking you received from the 'teacher'. As you stated, she would be arrested today. That brings up my point. Where were the protectors in those years, and even in my school years? Bullies abounded back then.. Who gave a care about protecting us in school? We speak of bullies and then of loving our trophy children, while ignoring them or leaving them in the hands of others, while we booze, party and have affairs. Hypocrisy, and so it goes.
What a beautiful film! I enjoyed this amazing deep dive into the life of Steve Stone. It took me on a rollercoaster ride of the wonderful highs of Steve finding Flint and then the lows (and beautiful) passing of Flint. The depth and honesty shine throughout the film. It truly captured Steve's essence. With the freedom of him enjoying that pool to him finding his faith again, it was deeply moving. I felt like I know him as a neighbor. Much peace and blessings Steve.
If you're struggling to find out what it is about your personality you're trying to explain, then let me help you. Your a NARCISSIST. There. You're welcome.
I do consider what you said about eating meat i judging JUST LIKE SOME ONE CAN SAY TO YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HELL ABOUT YOUR LIFE STYLE AND THAT ITS WRONG . SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT.
as a jewish man we have no Hell... that is a catholic invention of fear and intimation... the Bible only suggests "man shall now live with man as a woman". King David over Jonathan,, he said they shared the same soil....
Steve, we have known each other for 50 years. You have always had a positive impact on everyone whom you have known. This was a beautiful and powerful portrait of your life.
Hello Sed ... i always say it is what others tell us that is the truest reflection of who we really are... and its always nice to read nice comments like yours..... Thank you..... Sincerely...
Thank you, @Cid Weinberg, for such a re-assuring comment, especially coming from a screenwriter. (Steve is waiting for someone to come along to turn the documentary into a full lenght feature :) = Please subscribe to our channel to help us along. Thanks. Roberta (the filmmaker)
Hey Cid coming from a screenwriter that says a lot... now find someone to make a bigger film using this story line... maybe with me in it......lol engaging and inspiring are really good things and warm my heart..... Shabbat Shalom
What an incredible man with an incredible life's story. Thank you so much for sharing your poignant story here on RU-vid. It has touch me in a very profound way.
Thanks for your comment. I am th filmmaker. Would you consider subscribing to the channel?It would help the film gain more tractiion and eventually a little income. Thank you.
Hey Rainbow Dreamers...(some where over the rainbow.... ....... ) Thank you for calling me incredible... not that i see myself in that way....I am so pleased that you were touched... these comments truly make my day....
Steve is an amazing human being and I really enjoyed watching this and listening to him . I can see myself being a friend of Steve’s in real life . He has a lot to offer ppl . I find it sad that with his personality and all his intellect he is so isolated because he has so much to teach and offer . I’m not sure from watching this if he’s isolated because he lost the one real true love of his life and he mourns him and their love or he feels that most ppl don’t understand him or his ideology. He’s correct in that if all parties involved are involved willingly and voluntarily then it’s moral but let me be clear because I’m sure some may misunderstand me . As long as all parties are adults (I’m sure I needed to clarify that ) ppl read too much into things . I believe that 💯 and God doesn’t judge so it’s sad that ppl do . Steve’s a good looking man and while I also am content with my love and relationship with God but wouldn’t turn down a real relationship with someone else also after having lost someone I was completely in love with . After watching this to it’s conclusion I realize he’s still carrying a torch for his partner . I wish you nothing but health , happiness and love Steve . If there is ever to be another significant other Steve let it happen naturally . Don’t be mad at God . He doesn’t bring the strife to your table . It’s that other element but god can help you through it and I’m sure you’re well aware of that . Be good to yourself and keep God close . He’ll never let you down or abandon you . Just keep the lines of communication open and ask for his help . Take care 💐

HI things are working out for me... but the film did say i had to leave the house... no big deal... actually i am relatively healthy... and still working.... :-)
@@deeppurple883 my analysts taught me years ago that we must keep talking to ourselves...i hit the ground at about 6 am and do not really stop until about 7 pm and correction subscribe to the film's channel, (the very channel that they wrote their review in) will help the film.....
I really really can connect..you are such a lovely guy..I also adore your lover..his house was a treasure..he left it all for you,you also must have been the love of his life..what a wonderful thought.I am so jealous..I never had and never will have That kind of love..you are an amazing person..all the best to you. I hope you find love again (dashing kind wonderful dude,eyes only for you💕)
hello Anja, you got the whole thing right.. we did adore each other... that house was a paradise. and I knew it every day.. I feel as the saying goes better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.. I probably wont have it again ... so on that level we are the same... although I do wish for you to be unexpectedly surprised.... i like the dashing part although I dont see any of what others see... I figure its because we are all simply living our lives and see from the inside. its the others who tell us more about ourselves... so for that I am humbled... stay well... :-) ps Please subscribe to the U Tube.. its free and will help the film...
Thank you for answering..very kind of you..watched the video again..missed a lot watching it the first time..will probably watch it a third time because I am typing while the video is on..dashing beautiful for me is the same you feel..if I like someone I think he she it is beautiful ..can’t tell anymore if the person is dashing by beauty standards..what one finds beautiful is coming from your heart..but your other half looked 👍🏻 great..beautiful eyes and smile..I wish that you don’t miss him too much,your house(still awestruck when watching,could move right in without changing a thing,so much do I like it..what a shame,but what is over is over)I keep my fingers crossed that you are happy now and can enjoy life..a memorable video (hope more of That Kind will follow)and thanks for the answer…enjoy life..as Long as you have the Energy and are healthy..Anja🇧🇪🐾

@@stevestone3644 Well I’m glad you are still around! I almost added your friend Rock something too, but couldn’t remember his complete name. My heart ached watching your story because having a long history is magical when someone takes the time to reflect.
@@marciabradley7660 I do not have any friends with the name Rock...My heart ached as well at times and still does over the loss and separation of my soul mate ... but life is what it is.....we either accept and adjust or become consumed by it... I chose accept and adjust.... and thank you for feeling for me. it is clear you understood much about me.... :-)
@@stevestone3644 thanks Steve there’s little left to say other than I may watch the film again and I did forward it to my friend who speaks often of a friend she cared for as he died of Aids.
@@marciabradley7660 It is ok that we dont have to keep talking here.. I cared for so many who died from HIV related illness's i do understand... and if the film offers any comfort that that is because of the producers questions and from how deeply involved my life was then.... thank you stay well..
Lori actually we are all living in the likeness of God.. that it what is so difficult for many to understand....God is everything,, created everything,,, we are all just guests .... and guardians of our gift of life and everything in this world.....
@@loribayer1621 well thank you..but ..not that awesome....just your typical flaming extrover t(my analysis's term for me) with some high strung east coast Jewish thrown in ( i am working on that part....) I am greatly appreciative of your compliments ...Our world does need more compassion and love...thats for sure... love back to you ..:-)
@@stevestone3644 Well I am honored that you commented.I was thinking about your story today. I was thinking about the how your parents dealt with you as a child and felt sorrow for you.But as a parent myself It"s so hard. I have four children and I was not perfect. I tried to do the best I could! I know that you know they did what they could. And being a flaming extrovert ( your analysis term for you) was hard for you as well. So what I am trying to say that my heart went out to you as I watch the movie. And I am sorry. But you found your Jewish faith and that is a gift! You are a gift and thanks for sharing your story with the world!
@@loribayer1621 i dont really deserve all this but i know how you feel and what you are saying...all of it true...i always loved my parents and understood them... maybe more than they understood themselves... even at the age of 17..... you are the gift for all you shared..... thank you so much...
@@stevestone3644 I can relate in a way. I lost my first husband after 5 months of marriage to a car accident when I was 21. I had lost my father only 10 months before that. I'm 60 now and closer to God than I ever was. So for me, hearing your story was a blessing to me.
Thanks for your insights. Some people like to consider that they are above Steve's issues and challenges, but we all have issues of some sort, whether we recognize them or not. Thanks for getting that. Rberta, the filmmaker
Hello Joyce I think most people know that but judging from the high rate of divorce in the U S ... maybe many are confused... I certainly know the difference....
Wow, now I’ve been blessed too. Thank you to Steven Stone, the love of his life, Flint, and everyone else that made this incredible film possible. May God richly bless each of you as you journey on. What a gift this film has been to me. Thank you for taking the risk of sharing Steven. It’s people like you that make this world worth living in.
Kathryn, I am not so sure I deserve all that... but i will say , with a very touched heart... thank you.... I think its people like you who can recognize the difference are equally as important... :-)
@@rcantow I will subscribe. Both my 86 year old Christian Mother and myself watched the lovely film. Steven is one of a kind , but aren’t we all? I’m so thankful that he is not hindered by social norms, and sorry that social norms have tried to hinder him. We need more Stevens! I accept Steven for who God has blessed him to be. I would not miss having him as a friend for any social norm. If I do that I am the one to miss out on having an incredibly intelligent, fun loving, creative, empathetic, amazing person to enjoy life with. I realize that he can’t be friends with everyone, so I will be his friend and a true support from afar, and be thankful he has his close loving friends. Thank you Roberta for encouraging me to subscribe.
@@kathrynsinclare8459 Kathryn you say such beautiful things about me...I am truly humbled by your many kindness's .... If we were closer we would be friends......actually we are now thanks to you... Bless you and your wonderful Mom.... and the blessing of still having her with you...xoxo
when this was published on youtube in 2018 he would have been 73 ish , and still owning/ running factory , and 73 can be vital , i'm curious about the ending , like any current information through 2018 ? i can understand how he would struggle with transition from hollywood hills to apartment living , but wasn't that lifestyle handed to him , an inheritance , so for him it would have been artificial , surely we can all identify with trappings of wealth , and something as sparkling as a hollywood hills bungalow , his obsession with nudity is cute , but not diagnostic or interesting , it's an interesting concept in documentary film , banality as normality
hello Mark, I did have a life, living in nice homes growing up, with swimming pools like many others. I did not transition to an apartment, I created a space in the Factory I now occupy... a very small space... and in the beginning it was not easy... now i have come to really appreciate what I have. and I did make it more than it was....so while Flint did bring me into his world of high end environments,, and lifestyle...nothing about it was artificial.. because I never asked Flint for a thing... well one thing a project that was part of a business I started... but every gift was unexpected and really had nothing to do with my deeper emotions.. I was watching the movie "A stranger among us" tonight.. and at the end I did realize , with tears in my eyes that Flint was my B'shert... my soul mate.. so again there was nothing but 9 wonderful years and all the ones after that were and are filled with the deepest sense of Gratitude for what Heaven brought into my life and still surrounds me today.... my question to you would be, how many can identify with that?... and thank you for taking the time to bring this up...
Joyce , I think i replied but i will say here that your comment is one that I chose not to discuss, except that I feel we all have our own personal relationship with the ONE....
Well Carmen,,, I would say , dont be like me . be like Carmen... as we say,,, Seek Justice, Love Goodness and walk humbly before God.... open yourself to yourself first and wait for the surprises.....they come in unexpected ways and times....
@@stevestone3644 G day and thank you Steve. Yes I will be me.🤗 It's probably that I could see something about you in me. And it was comforting. Love from Australia. And thank you again for noticing me💗
@@carmenmcquillan6249 Then we are more like one,, and thats a good example why I feel so good lately about making this film with the Producer... its so much more than about me and you telling me this is the wonderful example and proof... how much we are all alike.. crossing gender and life styles.. ps I have made a strong effort to notice everyone here... :-)
That is a erry sweet comment. Perhaps you can cnsider subsribing to the channel if you have not already. It wil heo the film earn money in the long run. Thanks..
Fabe,, I did try to make one dog a vegetarian... They are Carnivors.... its the way the world is make... I have heard of a vegetarian diet formula for dogs ,, have not tried it.....
I was embezzled for a lot of money and did carry resentment for that for a while until I realized i had to take responsibility for allowing it to happen... which is another short story... but the eye tick is what is left of more obvious ticks that i had since I was about 11... and i think that was related to coping with my homosexuality that started when I was 10... it is mostly gone now.. but does start up when I am agitated or relize that I am being too self centered with others... it was the one thing I was concerned about while making the film and watching some of the takes.... but i definitely do not have deep anger about anything with my life now.. disappointments maybe... and who does not have some of that ...
Hi Nicky a lot of people have been inspired by the film and with parts of me... I think that is because the film has made it possible for people to talk about how they feel, in an more anonymous platform... and if it helps them see themselves then that is because of the good questions i was asked... ps.. please consider subscribing to U tube its free and will help the film..... sincerely steve
Danah another example of how we are all alike , just with different individual situations... I have watched it many times and i cry every time,, starting with the sweet Melody what was written for the film.... You and I are One.....
i think that with you both feeling this... you are lucky to be able to share it with each other and i hope it leads to newer and better things for you both...
