I guess this is what you get when you combine our Puritan ancestry with our penchant for victimhood and our litigiousness. :-\

That was kind of my feeling. I know my mama woulda flipped - just cause it was R, not because of the content per se (Dirty Dancing came out when I was like 10 - had to watch it with adult supervision and various scenes "fast-forwarded"...)

Sadly JUde this doesn't impress my arch conservative religious friends. They merely tilt their noses up and sniff and say, "You want to be immoral like the Europeans? They have legalized prostitution too!"

But if this was another movie, not about homosexuality, this case wouldn't have gone to court. They would've settled it at the Principal's office. I think they're overreacting because the movie is gay themed. IMO the whole issue is fueled by homophobia. That's what saddens me.
