You guessed correctly. I will never condone a movie with homosexuality in it. That has NO camparison to the Passion of the Christ. None. I will never watch that movie, nor will
Good for you. You’re wrong about how to judge movies. A movie about Jesus is not inherently a superior movie.
I am straight, and not a member of any minority group. I have nothing whatsoever to gain or lose that hinges on gay rights. I speak out for it because it feels right to me, to stand up for rights in a country that is built on them. This isn’t a religious issue. No one is forcing your local Priest to marry gay people. S’why we have a seperation between Church and State. You don’t get to legislate morals, end of story. That isn’t the job of government.
Really? A reality in which the hardcore conservative voice is losing credibility by the minute, where Christianity is a minority in world religion, and where all around the world gays are being more and more accepted into society? What reality, pre tell, are the people in this film out of touch with? Again, you are talking about your reality, the way you want it to be, not the way it is.
OMgoodness - there are so many films, plays, novels, etc, about homosexuality especially from the 90’s that I can’t even begin. You can’t be serious.
Once again: popular entertainment. Name me ten best sellers about homosexuality. Ten top-rated TV shows. Ten films that made mucho dinero at the box office and garnered major awards. Do that, and I’ll buy all the bull spouted here about a non-existant gay agenda. But I want to see #1s. #2 won;t do, they must not be pushing the agenda hard enough to only land at #2.OMgoodness - there are so many films, plays, novels, etc, about homosexuality especially from the 90’s that I can’t even begin.

Being a Christian is about knowing Jesus Christ. There is an objective truth that He wants us to know, proclaiming it doesn’t make us anything other than witnesses to His gospel.
I’m not asking for quantification, I don’t think that’s necessary, but I could make a list. I think anyone can.
That any one cares about a hypothetical gay cowboy “love” affair. Exactly who are they trying to sell this hogwash to? Macho effeminates? I know of not one soul that has seen it. In my town it lasted a week and then moved on for lack of sales. The Passion, on the other hand, was sold to capacity for weeks.
I desire neither the banning nor the boycott of the movie. I don’t believe in banning art. I have nothing in principle against a movie that portrays homosexuals as long as the portrayal is not an ideological propaganda piece being used normalize homosexuality. I pray for folks who struggle with this disorder and I think those who resist the urges and live a humble, chaste life should be commended. But, we need to get away from viewing homosexuality as a kind of class such as race and sex. I suspect these movies, like Brokeback mountain, are trying to reinforce the idea of homosexuality as just “another way of being different.”
What rights are you talking about? There is no such thing as gay rights.
Well, there was Al Pacino in Cruising
Also, if I remember right, JFK had both queers and midgets in it didn’t it?
Rent? Hmm…isn’t that the musical that has the song “Everyone has AIDS” in it?
I think the primary reason that it will do horribly at the box office is that in essence, its a chick flick for guys.
First of all, I have no problem rejecting your spurious claims. Homosexuality is a complex phenomenon. There may be some biological factors but it is not proven. There certainly are environmental factors. And, the will is always free, no matter the biological and environmental factors. You can scream your nonsense as loudly as you want to, we are not buying your propaganda.Let me explain something about my people (homosexuals), and I speak here for every gay person I have ever met and myself. BEING GAY IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS AFFECTED BY THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT, IT IS AN OCCURENCE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. We do not make the choice to be gay, it is as natural to us as being straight is to most people. If you belive we choose, then ask yourself, why would we choose to be part of one the most persecuted minorities in modern society? Would you? And then also ask yourself, did you choose to be straight? And could you ever CHOOSE not to be?
Now that I have made it clear that it is not a choice, can you maybe see that no matter how much someone sees gay behaviour, it will not “turn them”.
Also, as a point of interest, if being gay is a choice, then penguins are more intelligent than we give them credit for. 1/4 of all penguins are gay, making them the “gayest” known species on Earth. Were it a choice, then they must surely have the intelligence to make it
“my people?” Now that’s funny. Do you all get together and sing “Go Down Moses?”
I like your phrasing better
:clapping:
I agree that the will is free, but same sex attraction may be as biological as whether I guy finds a blonde more attractive than a brunette. Jury is still out on this one. No conclusive evidence either way.
