...and despite the disappearing male audience watching general television and the continued disasters at the box office, the hollyweird solution is MORE homosexuals. On top of this, there is an added push to use GLSEN (and their subsidiary of the Gay/Straight Alliance recruiting clubs) to indoctrinate and mandate acceptance.

Somehow dumping 160 million to produce a homosexual commercial for normalcy is a bad movie to stockholders' share values.

There has to be a ledger somewhere which calculates the profitability of various subjects just as they calculate the expected profits based on performers.

Yes, the public pocket book will decide the fate of the movie industry trends. Maybe some day in the future people will look back and label this period as "the gay epoch" "the sexually charged alternative times" "the libertine heyday." But if Hollywood takes the lead from the moral climate of middle America maybe there'll be a regression into a 50's "Leave it to Beaver" mentality against the "Far From Heaven" scenario. But the point is, how does it impact upon our times... do movies simply tell us a story or are they convincing us that whatever humans do (being gay, being a pederast, being pornographic) is OK because that is who we are. Do movies justify behavior or do they simply tell a interesting story and leave it to us to decide what is right and what is wrong? I think Hollywood can't simply leave it to fate to decide their own fate. I'm sure some Hollywood types have to push the envelope and justify their own predilections and existence regardless of the consequences. Money and morality is the mix... but survival is dependent on money and, therefore, I think they'll back off their mainstream push. However, the alternative choices will always be there. Alexander was taught by Aristotle who was taught by Plato, and it was Plato who wrote the Symposium about Greek poets and their male love affairs. Hollywood types are like those poets but unlike Greek culture they can't live in peace until they rule or convince the mob that what they do should be sanctioned by the state. To them, politics, like theater or movies, is working an audience...
