Oh, give me a break. "Gay culture" my foot. Like he's the only actor who's ever played a gay character before? "Brokeback" was just a movie, and people REALLY need to grow up and get over it.
Now, I don't know that he was a bad man, but those are bad things. Certainly not deserving of respect.
He was a human being who never killed anyone or caused any suffering of others, so he deserves prayers and respect in death. It's that simple. You may be petty and immature enough to let superficial things blind you from honoring human life, but I'm not.
You have not listed a single thing that convinces me that it's okay to mock and ridicule him after he's died and his family and friends are left in pain and suffering.
Are Freepers going to turn on R Lee Ermey for “Saving Silverman?”
I didn't mock him. I just said he's not respectable.
I don't go gaga over Hollywood celebs. I don't generally respect them unless I know they've done something worth respecting.
