TOTW 02/08: Was Lureen pregnant when she met Jack?
brokeplex:
no, I see no indication that Lureen was a Lesbian.

Would that make her quickly pregnant somehow (no office ladies nor gentlemen!!)
May I dare ask you and all too?

Sorry, Artiste, but even speculating that Lureen might have already been pregnant is about as far outside what the movie actually shows us as I would care to go. Even that's a stretch, for me.
But if she WERE a lesbian, wouldn't that make her LESS likely to get pregnant?
???
Artiste:
Thanks ineedcrayons!!
You say about Lureen: Sorry, Artiste, but even speculating that Lureen might have already been pregnant is about as far outside what the movie actually shows us as I would care to go. Even that's a stretch, for me.

............
Ineedcrayons and to all others:
May I say that Lureen already being pregnant (as seen in the BM movie) is NOT a stretch to me, quite the opposite!! Why was that person cast as her boy?? May we find about that??
Regarding if Lureen was a lesbian, there is a possibility there... and why? - because she was pressured by her father-, plus she was so very quick in actions like she was a butch ( if I may use that term that just comes to my mind now) as in some lesbians are such in physical agressiveness!!
Here is a true story that may help. There is a gay man here that lost his wife in a way... they were married legally as man and wife. He told me that he was surprised when his wife went to live with another female (a lesbian); he did not know that his wife was lesbian. He is in the film with his wife and her lover, which was shown on TV, about their lives!! He is also a gay man, but had not told her that... I seem to remember, during their marriage!! They did have kids and lived a long time together as man and wife and were happily so... he told me. Can this be an example for you, as possibly Lureen is a lesbian?
Lesbians, some want children; some gay men want children too!!
Awaiting your news and from all too,
hugs!!

I don't think being quick in one's actions is very sound evidence of being a lesbian.

No, because Lureen didn't go to live with another female.

Sure. But if Lureen was a lesbian, and therefore with women before she met Jack, she wouldn't have already been pregnant, as you state. Jack would be the one who got her pregnant.
ifyoucantfixit:
Artiste......I am sorry but I think you are now beyond all decency here by accusing Lureen of anything.. She was obviously
a victim of the situation herself.. now you are trying again to find some way of blaming the victims for their own pain.
You seem intent on blaming all the characters except for the two men. Even Pa Twist in your way of thinking is different than
that which the story shows. i think you are being unfair to the women. who have done nothing to bring their pain upon themself.
In contrast they are being victimized yet again. You are basing these suppositions upon non existant proof as regards the movie, or
the book. Then you have said that you have heard of a personal situation having happened, and use that as a possibility.
Just because some people have done anything, doesnt mean that it has anything to do with the story...
It almost smacks of prejudice on your part...Everything that happens is not a deliberate attempt to hurt gay men, or women..
And you are sadly mistaken if you are of he opinion that lesbians are automatically more aggressive....
