Replace surfing with "anything else in life"

and that's the value of this 7 minute documentary on the taboo of being a gay surfer:

The brief speech near the end sums it up. If you're distracted by this whole sexuality thing, it detracts from the attention and energy you ought to be able to put into anything you pursue in life. I fully get that, and the more comfortably out I am, the easier the rest of life gets as I no longer put mental energy into concealing my sexual orientation. That's a message that I think is very valuable for a lot of other people to learn, and not just gay people. I think straight people should learn this to realize what sort of damage homophobic social stigmas do to people.

Distracted by "A" can take away from "B".

Fill in A and B from any two topics and one has an unlimited supply of 7 minute documentaries.

There are also unlimited supply of social stigmas.

While true, sexual orientation is kind of a big one & quite the human rights topic of our time and thus worthy of people being conscious of, IMO.
