BM movie is anti-gay??
yb:
Janice, thanks for summing up Artists' posts, I tried but never have the patience to work them out.

I also haven't quite figured out what Artiste is saying, but I think Janice might have something there in saying that Artiste seems to not like anyone who is not gay. However, I'm still not sure if that is what he is saying. I'm really not sure. I will read the posts again ;) Anyway, I can only speak for myself that I have lots and lots of straight friends as well as gay friends and MANY of these are friends I have made here on Bettermost which exists because of BBM. So saying the movie is anti-gay makes it seem that this group would not even exist since we have many straight people, gay people, bisexual people, etc. How would this group ever be able to get along so well if we all hated each other because some of us are gay? As I believe I have said before some of my very best friends here on Bettermost are straight women, some are gay men, some are gay women and some are even bisexual. As I see it we all get along like a big family. Sometimes, like a family, we even have disagreements. Sometimes we say things that hurt others, but usually we think about and try to make amends which is usually successful. This is not always true in all forums, but I sure do see that it is here so far. We are always willing to listen to each others thoughts and ideas. And nobody ever gets tossed to the side if their ideas don't fit in exactly as the majority thinks.

Oh yeah, I also want to add straight males to that list of friends I have from Bettermost. Yes, we do have straight males such as Monica's husband David and there are many more.
Artiste:
Thanks Susiebell! (I will try to reply to others later.)
Yes, there are gay men who do marry straight women and OTHER women.
I did know a gay man who married a lesbian but he did not know that she was one. That he told me.
I forget if that is so in a film they did on her life especially.
So, this is one way? The BM movie maybe touches this point too (making it a bit anti-gay that way)?
Hugs!

Sorry Artiste but I am still confused as to why you keep saying the movie is anti-gay. Apparently I am just not getting what you are saying.
