Giancarlo:
The argument that angers me the most, the one I've seen mostly on IMDB, is that the love between them isn't real. I get so mad... it angers me more then any of the other fallacious arguments that these homophobes pose.

I'm with you, Giancarlo.  I'd change my vote to that one if I could - I'm the lone ranger who voted for "They had sex too soon in the relationship..." for pretty much the same reason.  Talk about a double-standard.  I'll say it again:  No one *ever* says that about Jack and Lureen, and they only knew each other for a matter of hours before they were, in fact, much more intimate.

And along the lines of what you've posted, I'd like to say to these wizards, "Precisely how would *you* have two closeted gay ranch hands in 1960s Wyoming flirt?"

Dumb ass mules.

David In Indy:
I picked "It's only a big deal because it's about gay guys."

The trolls love to use that one. >:(

Lynne:
"It's only a big deal because it's about gay guys" was mine, too, David...though all of the above push my buttons.  That one seems to suggest you could just plug in a hetero couple and it would be just another tragic love story...never mind little stuff like plot.

I saw somebody over on IMDb once say "..and Titanic is only about a ship".

I don't remember who said it, but I thought it was good! :)
