I have read the story on which it is based. From the story, I would not get a justification for a homosexual lifestyle, since no homosexual lifestyle is described, much less glamorized in it. What is depicted is the tragedy of gay men trying to live as straight married men, victimizing their wives as much as themselves. Since many fundamentalists and others think the solution is to make gay men get married (<I>and presumbably lesbian women should marry guys, although that doesn't seem to really catch their attention much, does it?</I>), the threatening message of the movie may be that "acting straight" is not all it's being sold as by the ex-gay movement.<BR/><BR/>Not all such marriages are a disaster, of course, as my own Partner's experience shows. Given the stresses that a marriage has to face today, though, does it make sense to add a gay partner into the mix on the theory that this will help him/her get themselves straightened out? What about the straight partner in that relationship? The potential for grave injustice is huge. In fact, this sounds like using another person for one's own purposes, at least as much as using another person for one's own sexual gratification.Michael Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942287172727040371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13665762.post-1137468077262854732006-01-16T22:21:00.000-05:002006-01-16T22:21:00.000-05:00The reference to assisinating a president has been...The reference to assisinating a president has been corrected.
