I think Milo is quite well read, thank you...he just reads more than the Daily Kos and the National Enquirer...

So they ALL are cases where the information was public knowledge already??
And even if ALL the cases in the movie are just revisiting issues already made public, I still disagree with the movie as a political tool, and the political assumptions it seems to make. Honestly, all lI have to go on is the trailer and the article, so I'll really have to go see it. I cannot offer too much criticism without seeing the film. I certainly wouldn't presume to criticize a book too deeply if I had not read it, so I won't make that mistake here.

A prostitute?? Maybe, maybe not. In my experience, hos keep their mouths shut about their Johns. Sure plenty brag, and some will say anything for the right amount of money.
A man?? Nope. Real men would never do anything so dishonorable to each other.

A lot of this stuff WAS linked in current events right here on Bettermost, too, as being items of "gay interest", as opposed to "gay party interest."

I'm very well read on the topics I where I find value. I see little value in tabloid-style scandals whether they are celebrities, or politicians.

two I saw in the trailer were. I only saw the trailer, you know, the film hasn't come out. However, two out of the four shown in the trailer is plenty to refute your snap judgement that "it's a witchhunt by the filmmakers and the Gay Party (sic)" The information was in the public domain already and has been for at least 2 years on those cases.
And you've already condemned the thing as a witchhunt by the nonexistent Gay Party, and now you can't offer too much criticism without seeing it? ? How much is too little I wonder?

For anyone who they out in this movie who was NOT publicly outted before, they ARE on a witch hunt. If even 1 man's life is ruined by this film, that is one too many.
