I think some of the extreme liberals have been working overtime on this thread. It’s time to shine some light on their politically correct faulty thinking:
First- of all, why would anyone equate “Racism” with being homosexual?
How many times does it have to be shown that there is no proof that being homosexual is genetic?
Therefore, if you are attempting to bestow special status on homosexuals there are many other groups which should be given this status too (dajavue all over again). If we are giving out special rights for a personal choice It could easily become comical.
Shall I throw some examples out? No, I’ll save that for later when my premise is questioned-more fun that way.
Second- I think many of the politically correct who are basically out to bash others for their views are missing the entire point (which is not unusual on this subject).
Those who don’t like Brokeback because it is about two gay men have a right not to like it!
They don’t have to make up excuses as to why. They can simply say that they don’t like movies with a homosexual theme.
That does not mean that they are homophobic. Nor does it mean that they “hate” anyone. And what is “homophobic” anyway? Are those who speak out against homosexuality actually afraid of homosexuals? Or do they feel that it is not a “natural” lifestyle? And are they perhaps repulsed by the act of two men having sex?
Here is a news flash for you: Men are allowed to feel repulsed by two men having sex! It’s more “homorepugnance” than homophobic. Some men cannot help but feel sickened by certain acts. The fact that this does not fit your politically correct agenda matters not.
I know that those who want to push the homosexual agenda don’t want to read this, but it’s the truth. And I have also seen the great defenders of all things homosexual make fun of those who are obese.
Why is it okay in their politically correct play book to make fun of the obese? What if they were born fat?
Third- No one is claiming that the movie industry is “trying to make us all gay.” that is one very silly comment on this thread.
However, it is merely one more step in attempting to push the gay agenda onto America. “See these two poor guys…they had to…GASP get married and have children…of all the rotten things…”
Hollywood is liberal! PERIOD If you don’t know that by now you are either a liberal yourself, or you are simply not capable of paying attention.
Fourth- People who speak out against the acclaim given the movie are not attempting in any way to take away the right of two men to have sex (that might have been the silliest comment. Difficult to judge there are so many coming from the left). Who cares what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home? Certainly not me.
However, speaking out against a movement is another matter. It is everyone’s right, and some would say duty to speak out against things that they feel are being politicized, gay marriage not being the least of these national issues. “Gay” Hollywood continuing to push their liberal agenda is another.
Fifth- Tolerance is all the rage when it comes to accepting two men having sex. And to this I agree. We live in a free society and everyone has the right to pursue happiness as they see it. However, where is the tolerance in reverse when someone on this thread speaks out against something like gay marriage, or even a gay film?
the haters from the left come out in droves.
It seems that no one is allowed to question anything gay without the tired old homophobic comments flying.
And no one…and I mean NO ONE is more intolerant than an extreme liberal.
And, before any of you extreme liberals go there: I am not asking others to be tolerant of intolerance. What I am asking is that those who want to either embrace this lifestyle, or defend those who do to be more tolerant of someone’s free speech right to question it’s place in society.
Those of us who are pro traditional values have no right to name call. But on the other hand neither do the extreme liberals who push the homosexual agenda (and there is an agenda make no mistake about it). It seems that almost every thread I have been involved in the name calling is done by those who want to silence anyone who has the audacity (in their eyes) to question the place that homosexuality fits into today’s society.
Let the debate about Brokeback continue. But keep in mind there are always at least two sides to every issue. And simply because you are on one side and I am on the other does not make either of us evil.
