I'll side partially with Peil on this one mainly because I've watched how Hollywood and the media have both contributed towards "celebrating" homosexuality with increased enthusiasm over the past 20 years or so. I've got nothing against gays who wish to remain discreet, but that isn't what is encouraged, it's the "flaming", look at me flamboyance of being gay that seems to be the now thing.
It's sure money that any flick that has anything to do with lesbians or gays will get an Oscar nod. Same thing goes for much of the programming on tv. Queer eye for the Straight Guy type shit. This whole culture of "because I'm gay, I'm smarter than you, I dress better and I'm funnier". Don't for a moment think that the gay mafia who puts this crap together isn't funding all of this?
So yeah, Peil actually has a very valid point, unfortunately, the knee jerk reaction is to put one's head in the sand and start spewing out a bunch of politically correct nonsense. For the most part, that's all I've seen in this thread.
