Gay Marriage Split: Why Maine Is Mainstream (Politics Daily)
Nov 5th 7:25 AM: "Tourism is down, fishing is a disaster, and people who used to work in the mills in Maine don't have anything anymore," Underwood said. "When you are struggling to meet the basics, it is much more difficult to be persuaded to extend yourself into understanding justice for people who don't seem to be affected by the same economic ills that you are."
--How VERY christian of you Anne Underwood.

Ellen DeGeneres Interview for 'Ellen's Bigger, Longer and Wider Show' (Inside TV Blog)
Jun 25th 7:00 AM: Cannon Hall: If you should read this... your claim is appalling. I'm sorry but do you actually know Ellen or Portia? To say that they contribute nothing to humanity is a pretty bold claim. Jealous much?
Bill: Spewing useless speech on the internet is a healthy thing right? So tell us-- Do you feel better?
Fat Girls, Queers And Jesus (Queer Sighted)
Nov 1st 10:39 AM: hmmm ... this movie looks liker one of those rare gems. Are we sure that it is from american cinema or did the director/writer study abroad?
I'll have to see if it is playing nearby, which i highly doubt due to mainstream cinemas.
Brokeback Mountain: The Revolution That Wasn't (Queer Sighted)
Oct 30th 9:56 AM: Francis - you may not like my rebuttal but for some of us that "step" is taking to long to come and go. It's 2007 for crying out loud give us our rights already and let's stop talking/ bickering/ranting about how being gay is so negative..
For the record Francis I was complaining because HOLLYWOOD is "notorious for pushing the envelope" but couldn't make it authentic and have some real gays in the film. So what was really gay about that film? The movie was about 2 straight guys both with families. After all it had to appeal to the straight audience (since they make up the majority of moviegoers).
I'm assuming you haven't seen the opposite end of the spectrum. Although Brokeback made gays more visible it also added to the homophobia that is out there. People are using brokeback as a negative term like for instance "that's so brokeback" ..and I will point out that Richard was referring to the movie Brokeback Mountain as being a revolutionary change what brokeback mountain also did was add to the homophobes arsenal. I've witnessed it on more than a few occasions and it's quite pathetic to hear people use a movie as a negative way to disparage someone.
I should be happy huh? No, I'm not going to be happy just yet, because it will take more than just a [any stupid] movie to change homophobia. So like a few others, I am very disappointed at the outcome of brokeback mountain and with disappointment comes complaints and with complaints comes people who complain about complainers. But then hopefully change arrives only to start the cycle over again.
PS. You should expand your cinema viewing to more than just mainstream hollywood "stuff." You just may enjoy a different story then the recycled garbage in movies today.
Brokeback Mountain: The Revolution That Wasn't (Queer Sighted)
Oct 27th 9:39 AM: I'm gay (well my boyfriend re-assures me of that every now and then) and I hated Brokeback Mountain, so did my Boyfriend for the record.
I can remember not being "out of the closet but dating my boyfriend" going to the theaters to see Hollywood's latest mainstream culture shock. I guess what I hated so much about the movie is the whole "we're straight, have kids, had random sex one night" to quote you Richard. "written by a heterosexual, directed by a heterosexual, starring heterosexuals...I'm sorry, what was gay about it?" Well said and exactly, exactly what I was thinking.
It's funny when straight people don't know what to talk about to a gay guy so they bring up, Brokeback mountain and then I tell them I hated the movie and it absolutely silences them. This has happened a few times too. So then (since I'm a nice guy) I try to tell them the music was beautiful...
Proceed At Your Own Risk (Queer Sighted)
Oct 24th 10:50 PM: effervescent -- Probably one of my favorite words, I just love the way it flows, the way it sounds. It's not to often I hear/see people saying that word. [smirk];)
Anyway, dearly beloved of mine.. "I will follow you into the dark" as Melissa L. Etheridge says in one of her songs.
