RE: "Brokeback" and politics

 

Cruising in Men's Restroom's was always mainly a "European" Pastime.

In the 80's I ran into quite a few Euro Guys,in NYC... who were totally surprised when there "Standing at the Urinal" got no response, from the guy's coming and going! LOL :7

"Until we are no longer second class citizens, our very existence is a political act."

 

Bullshit! There will always be second class citizens in a democratic, capitalist society and that has NOTHING to do with gay. They call it Coach Class. If you desire Communism, check out Cuba.

 

Some gay men are stuck in some time-warp, self-imposed view of themselves. Like Jack said to Ennis, "Maybe you oughta move to Texas." :-)

Bilbo did not say that he looked forward to a time when there were no second-class citizens. He said that gays in the U.S. are second-class citizens. He was not making a statement about forms of government. Please read more carefully.

Was it that greedy snuff-film, The Passion Of The Christ, that infused America with the kind of blood lust that makes a film like Hostel gross in one weekend what Brokeback's taken in in one month? Or does America generally just love gore (not the ",Al" or "Vidal," kind of course)?

America just loves gore. How else can you explain the popularity of slasher movies? Pour all the money you like into story-telling, but lump together a lake, and gaggle of teenagers, and an axe murderer and you've got a box office hit. (And probably sequels galore.)

 

I saw an interesting article today by a female writer explaining BBM's popularity with women in a way I hadn't considered. Her theory is that women love the movie because FOR ONCE it's not a woman doing the heavy lifting emotionally. It's an interesting theory.

Thanks you, Yeswell, and I already live in Texas.

Re:

 

> Oh Steven, you're so gay.

 

I am proud to be who I am.

For clarification, the comment was made by a lady who noticed the long line (probably because the public was 80 % male) and it was intended to be funny, nothing more.

I saw the movie in the US.

Rock..So True! :7

Dearest Steven...

 

"I am proud to be who I am."

 

So am I. I can't remember a moment in my life where I felt like a second class citizen, even when my wallet was empty and I flew Coach.

 

No need to clarify for me, Steven. I got your sense of humor but I have a feeling you didn't get mine. Whenever a gay or straight friend brings something from "the left field of gaydom" into the dialogue, a favorite response is, "You're so gay." It's a way to give permission to laugh at ourselves and not take everything too seriously.

 

I should have put a smiley at the end of my sentence. You know I adore you.

Yes I do understand how to use the edit function, but couldn't find the message in time. Wow, this topic is so popular we are now on page seven. Anyway, I am enjoying the byplay between Steve and Rock.
