‘Love, Simon’ Stars Say Gay Teen Romance Will Save Lives
Variety ^ | March 9, 2018 | Brent Lang

Posted on 03/10/2018 1:32:27 PM PST by EdnaMode

“Love, Simon” is a film of important milestones. Namely, it’s the first mainstream studio romantic comedy told from the perspective of a gay teen. But perhaps the most extraordinary thing about the Fox release is that it’s so ordinary. It’s a classic high school tale — one that minted millions for John Hughes — set in the kind of anywhere suburbia that most viewers will instantly recognize. It’s a fluffier kind of polemic.

Still, the historic nature of “Love, Simon” was front of mind at a tastemaker screening at New York City’s Landmark at 57 West on Thursday night.

“Moviegoers want to see their stories represented onscreen,” said Nick Robinson, who plays the title character, a well-liked teenager who is hiding the fact that he’s gay. “Hopefully, this is not the last. Hopefully, this is the first of many films that show a broader section of life.”

“We have a pair of them nearby and they don’t disturb or hurt anybody.”

Every sodomite either has buggered a child or wants to.

Sodomites who say differently are lying.

The median age at death in the U.S. for white homosexual males is 47, the same as for the entire male population at the end of the 19th Century. For black homosexual males, it’s 44.

Choosing a homosexual lifestyle is a death sentence.

Given the topic, this film is Oscar bait. Regardless of how it does at the box office, the story line is too “important.”

2% of the population will make you rich? I don’t think so.

That must be why I like to watch movies depicting space travel, time travel, military history, and Mel Brooks' comedies ... because they depict MY story!

Clear and flagrant propaganda piece that will no doubt be nominated for every award there is no matter how bad it is

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”

Give it a couple of episodes before an older man starts advocating about the purity of his love for a 15 year old boy.

something the fags have been very careful about is keeping their deviance, what they actually do, on a waaaayyyy back burner.Its not actually in the minds of all of the virtue signalers.Homosexuality is about sexual acts, sexual acts and more sexual acts. There is an Order to a boy and a girl interacting that makes sense beyond the sex act. What order will exist in this place between two people of the same sex? What roles? This movie may be way too graphic in a manner that the producers aren’t intending.

Will they do real rimming and felching for the audeience? Will they have encounters in filthy public restrooms? I’m just trying to figure out if they will reveal the real life acts of male queers.

So if fagged up shows save lives, then in contrast all of Hollywierds gun toting shoot ‘em ups has a direct impact on gun violence? They can’t have it both ways but they are the ultimate hypocritical money grubbing elitist a-holes.

Average lifespan for male queers about 45 years. Average lifespan of tobacco user 65 years. Oddly, tobacco use is condemned but male queer behavior is glorified and none of the side effects are ever mentioned; nope, no diseases, no fecal consumption, and never a discussion of why multi drug resistant TB is emerging from the queer community.

Last I checked, sodomy is still unhealthy and unhygienic.

I quit watching South Park because I got so tired of the gay kiddie agenda.

Agreed. This movie is likely to get several Oscar nominations.

We’ve moved from tolerance to acceptance to endorsement to celebration. Ugh....
