I have not seen this movie (to put that aside at the start).

I think I understand what you're saying -- vote with your money. You don;t want to see a Gay love story that is fine -- people make choices all the time about what they wish to see and what they don't for all sorts of reasons. The foreign press and most film critics seem to be saying about this particular film that indeed the non American Director is a symbal that these are the kinds of films they want to see (if the number of film critics has anything to say - including most foreign countires top film critics).

The stupid thig about all this is that this is HARDLY new. There have been so many films and tv that have gay characters in love in love stories that I can;t see this as being a "token gay love story" that "They" presumably Hollywood but Hollywood is not the THING from outer space it is made up of individuals from around the world, are trying to promote that "Gay is good, so be Gay."

Frankly, I wish a lot more guys were Gay -- that means there is a lot less competition for ME :-)

I'm libertarian leaning - I sure would rather spend a day with Hugh Hefner and Larry Flint than I ever would with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson...and if that means I'm going to hell -- GOOD -- because wherever pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell end up does not sound like Heaven to me!
