Albert,

I've not seen "The Living End" but I will check that out on Netflix for sure! Thanks!! xoxo

I actually own "Curse of the Queerwolf" on VHS and put it in on Halloweens for the pure camp of it. I think it's hilarious! One of those Ed Wood, So-Bad-You-Just-HAVE-To-Laugh movies.

That and "The Boys of Cellblock Q". Especially the scene where the protagonist smashes a half-gallon milk CARTON on the edge of a wooden table and uses the carton cardbord shards to threaten another inmate. Just horribly funny!

YES! And that was Directed BY GAY Director Gus Van Sant! I just went "ughh"...

If they had focused more on the social ridicule and how that can cause someone to snap, no matter whether the victim is gay or straight or whatever, then that might have brought more light to the situation.

Even in newspaper articles about a gay person killing another, they stress (though they think it's not to make the killing look like it's BECAUSE the people were gay) the whole Gay issue/connection/whatever to the point that it looks like "yep gay perverts killing again...typical of the path society is heading down. And they want to give these perverts more rights? Gay people obviously have other perversions and are just all around perverted/demon possessed/[add appropriate other negative stereotypes here]"

I remember one article in particular about one boy killing another boy (they were both about 14) and they really beat into the ground the gay connection. The article never came out and said "they did this because they were gay and they have problems", no, they didn't do that. But they said enough to lead the public to that or a similar conclusion.

One boy, after having intercourse with the other boy, brought him to the garage, I think, and bashed his head in until he died. He did this because he 'didn't want to be gay' or something like that and that he had been fighting it but when he'd be with this boy he couldn't resist the 'temptation'. He quoted in trial "we did what homosexuals do and then I ...." and the rest goes from there. Never was there a statement in there about the negative images about themselves that gay teens are constantly bombarded with. Nothing. Never did it once even allude to the fact that an intolerant and stereotypical society that infuses negative images into children about gay people (this is including gay children who grow up thinking they can't be gay cause that's some foreign, horrible, perverted, and just really downright bad thing, and when they are faced with those feelings down the line, many can't handle the pressure and don't want to admit it themselves) and how those negative images lead them to suicide, self-hatred, and all sorts of other self-destructive behavior NOT because they themselves are gay, but because they've grown up in a society and most likely a family that taught them from day one that gay people were evil, perverted, child-molesting creatures, and the very thought that they are this evil thing they heard so many things about drives them to negative behaviors that are a result of their own self-hatred due to the negative images they've been sold about themselves..

But them I'm rambling again. Forvive me. :-P

i liked Elephant myself and i dont think the two boys are gay at all. They kiss in the shower cuz neither one of them has ever kissed anyone before not cuz they are gay. Thelma nd louis are not gay and when they kiss before they drive over the dge at the end we know it was a kiss of deeper love and friendship not about them being gay. I thought Elephant was perfect in how it refused to give answers or even adress any issue but instead presented just how normal and everyday something so violent usually is. The media like to sensationalize it and make it gay or this or that but in reality violence and terror are usualy mundane and boring and that is really whats scary and troublesome. Most of the horrible deeds done to people are done in the most matter of fact way without much reason or logic behind them. If everything humans did was planned and logical we would be vulcans and not people :)

not trying to rant but thats my two cents

>AND The Silence of the Lambs, another
>oft-protested-by-the-gays movie.

Silence of the Lambs???? OHHHHH, now mid-post I get it. The guy who was killing all those girls was making a woman suit. Hmmm...never thought about that. It gives a bad image to transexuals (if that's the right word, sorry for my ignorance in that department) which isn't right either, but I suppose that the 'average' viewer would just see him as 'gay' and not know anything more and then blame all gays in general.

But I liked that movie because Jodie Foster *swoon* was in it. Forgive me. Lol. ;)

LOL, was that a browser glitch that made you think it wouldn't post and you kept trying again and again and again...or did you mean to do that? LOL.
