Merci, thanks jmmgallagher !

I enjoyed your gay flag and its stories. There are more ?

And be assured that I am happy that you like that USA gay flag with all those stars.

Would you like to see more ? Go to my thread: Artiste Questions, as I have started one thread on different gay flags !

Au revoir,
hugs!

From http://weblogs.variety.com/hal/2008/11/did-milk-miss-t.html

Did "Milk" miss the opportunity to change history?



Well, that's what I wondered about the timing of the release.  Seems like it would have also benefitted the film to get it out there pre-election.

Well, the "better" films tend to come out later in the year, like a certain film did on December 9, 2005.

The current release seems timed more to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Milk's death.

I am so sick of the hipocracy!

Here is an interview with James Franco about MILK and him acting in it and how he felt "uncomfortable and not that fun" doing the gay scenes.  Why do straight men go out of their way to say it!



And here's an interview with him on Kimmel, and how the new script "has full on love scenes" and he was so bothered with it he had to talk to Gus about it  And I love the comment that Kimmel is uncomfortable with it.




YET....

This new trailer for The Fast & The Furious 4 has two girls kissing in it.  The trailer!




And this trailer for Vicky Christina Barcelona has Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johanson making out in it.  The trailer!  Approved for ALL audiences.




Where's the outrage over these scenes?  Where's the "I was uncomfortable" interviews?  Wasn't jes' this year BRAVO originally didn't show the SNIT in Brokeback Mountain?  WTF!! 

All this angers me to no end and I'm freakin' sick of it!  >:(  >:(  >:(

then why don't they give that acting job to a gay man ? May I ask ?

We, gay men, need jobs too !!

So,  producers are discriminating against gays ?

I was thinking some sort of the same things.  These "straight" actors take these roles fully knowing what the role is and the character is, and then after they're done doing it they feel the need to come out to the public and say "how uncomfortable it was" and "it was so hard to do", etc.  Then why in the hell did you take the role then?  These actors themselves are hippocrites.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember Jake or Heath ever saying "it was uncomfortable" and "hard to do it".  They both pretty much came out and said "we did it and there it is".  No griping or grumbling.
