BM movie is anti-gay??
Artiste:
In many ways the BM movie is unfortunately anti-gay ?

What Artiste is talking about is when Jake Gyllenhaal hosted Saturday Night Live. Or at least I think that is what you are talking about Artiste? He comes out and says something about no Brokeback jokes. There are two gay cowboys in the audience placed there for the skit. Jake than pulls his suit off and is in a dress. He then sings the song from Dreamgirls "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going." I was not too happy with Jake for doing this since I felt it was in some ways making light of the movie and falling into the whole jokes thing about "gay cowboys" that I have heard so many of. Anyway, I personally did not like it, turned it off, and have no desire to see it although it has been repeated at least three times. Many people found it to be funny. I just don't see anything comical about Brokeback and the whole dress idea was a slap to the movie in my opinion. If anything Brokeback's message was showing another side of the lifestyle besides the stereotypical gay idea of men in dresses, etc.
Artiste:
Merci jstephens!

Au revoir,

Actually Artiste, I really don't see the movie as being anti-gay at all. Most of the characters inside the movie are but the movie doesn't send that message out in whole. As a matter of fact is it really a gay movie at all? I dont think so...its actually a bisexual movie.
Artiste:
Merci horo!
Are you sending mixed signals? To you, is the BM movie straight, bisexual or gay ???
Au revoir,
hugs!
