I agree with him, if truth be told.

All they did was make a gay version of "Same Time, Next Year."

I'm still waiting to hear how homosexuality is different from other abnormal sexual behaviors. If pedophiles can be cured, why is homosexuality forever?

That pretty well covers it.

They say that pedophilia cannot be cured, however.

Really? Who does? Seems to me that a man was recently given 60 days in jail for raping a little girl because the judge wanted him to receive counseling.

The irony of all this is (or is it really irony?) is that just as modern medecine and psychiatry were getting to a point (1950s) where they might actually be able to study and understand (and cure) homosexuality, political correctness raised its head and made ANY attempt to label homosexuality a "disease" or "disorder" unthinkable.

I have never met a homosexual who was happy. And living in the Bay Area, I've met a lot of them.

Amazing how quickly Hollywood went from attempting to portray adultery as something noble in the movie that you mentioned to attempting to portray homosexual buggery as something other that disgusting.

They've failed at both, of course, but thanks for pointing out their earlier attempts at normalizing what once was (and should be again) disdained by society.

"Normal People" know that "tab a only goes in slot b".

Now, what about the current level of extreme paranoid heterophobia ?

I think they're sick. Prior to homosexuals taking over the American Psychiatric Association, I'd have been clinically correct.

I'm still correct.

a wave of disgust that still reverberates today.

That sounds about right!

I would agree with him if I didn't find the L Word on Showtime so completely captivating.

They're just waiting for the American Psychiatric Association to say "Well, that's OK, too!"

Hi Philistone-

You're absolutely correct in how many homosexual men are angry, mentally tortured, and generally unhappy. I've worked with about a half-dozen homosexual male coworkers and they were generally very screwy-in-the-head.

The lesbian women tended to be better adjusted and were far more pleasant. They didn't have that lingering bitterness that lies just below the surface of gay men's persona.

They were not "Cowboys". They were sheepherders.

Sheepherders never work with two watching a heard.

They work alone. Nobody can afford more than one sheepherder per heard. That is why they have sheep dogs.

The whole premise of the movie is bunk.

Except the bit about homosexuals qua homosexuals. I think of it as deviant sexual behavior; not as a genetic trait.

Of course, in "Same Time, Next Year" the adulterers actually cared not only about their spouses but also each other's spouses, and didn't break up any marriages or subject their kids to divorce (I haven't seen Brokeback, nor will I, but read that that's what happens in the movie).
