- Australia’s Rugby Union team sing anthem in Indigenous Language
- A grandparent, or someone of your grandparent’s generation that you know moderately well.
Picturing my grandmother, as she has no interest in football whatsoever, she wouldn’t care much that they did it. She would however be quite confused as to why they would want to do it and why they can’t just sing it normally. But if it was explained to her why they did it, I’m positive that she would be understanding and accepting.
- A friend or peer of yours who is the opposite sex or different gender identification than you.
My partner would react quite positively as she has a large amount of empathy and acceptance for all peoples’ no matter the culture or background. She would find it moving and wonderful that we’re heading in the right direction.
- A friend or family member who doesn’t live in the same country as you.
I have a cousin who is the same age as my dad who grew up in Australia but has been living overseas for most of his adult life. I believe that he would feel proud of the country he grew up in and find it moving to know how far we’ve come as a nation.
- Someone at least ten years younger than you.
Ten years younger than me would be 15 years of age, so I think they would react in a very nonchalant way as it wouldn’t really affect them so they probably wouldn’t care all that much.
- How do you feel about it.
I think it’s nice to see and hear. I don’t watch Rugby Union myself but knowing this was performed at an international event to highlight Indigenous Culture makes it very special.
- Sip & Share: Jonathan Van Ness on Self-Care, His Morning Routine, and More.
- A person I know from the older generation would wonder who he is and what the video is even about. They’d probably make a comment about his sexual orientation and what he’s wearing and how he’s speaking. But otherwise, I don’t think they would even care about the video.
- I try to surround myself with positive and understanding people. One of my friends would absolutely love watching this video and would find his ideas quite fun and helpful.
- I have a friend who lives in America, and I feel as though they’re exposed to this a lot more than many in Australia which would probably shape their opinion.
- Someone ten years younger than me would probably try to make a joke about the way he talks or looks and think the video is quite weird and not for them.
- I don’t feel any particular way about Jonathan and his video. I have no clue who he is or what he does but if he’s comfortable within himself that’s all that really matters.
- Robert Hoge
- I believe that every person who witnessed Robert and his story would probably think that his condition was very upsetting and feel sorry for him. They’d say that it’s rude that kids would bully him and that it’s not his fault he was born that way. Everyone would have compassion for him and congratulate him on the successful life that he has led.
