Cannes Is the world ready for its first animated gay Viking?
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" sure hopes so.
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" opened at the Cannes Film Festival last week with its stars in tow, a big party on the beach, and a life-sized Toothless the Dragon hanging out for photo ops with reporters.
The sequel to its $500 million blockbuster predecessor has a lot to prove, with the kid movies star Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) now a young man, and the Vikings vs. dragons conceit of Dragons 1 rendered effectively moot as the dragons and Vikings have become best of pals.
But not even writer/director Dean DeBlois was able to cook up one of the new movies most surprising twists.
Gobber is gay.

It’s the power trip. I can remember when I was teaching swimming classes as a young adult. I could get these little water bugs to do anything I could think of. i remember telling my mom, “these kids will listen to anything I say, and believe it.” And I can remember being a little scared of that power.
I have heard that the alternate title was, ‘How to treat a back burn’.
we have moved from “the love that dare not speak its name” to “the love that will not shut its *bleeping* mouth” in such a short period of time.
That would make such an excellent tagline. If I can make it fit, can I use it??
Any honest mental health professional will tell you that the overwhelming majority of male homosexuals were molested as a child by an older male or introduced to t he activity by peers.
Look at Chastity Bono. Her mother left her in the care of a lesbian nanny that molested her for years with Cher's consent. The bitch should be in jail.
The left's goal is to remove all stigma from homosexuality and make it more acceptable than heterosexuality.
I think I read something about this happening before. It didn't turn out well.
I already tried.
Yep, get people talking about the movie to drive more people to see it.
Now that I know they’re not doing any such thing for real in the movie, I’ll go ahead and take my kids after all.
darn!
the love that dare not speak its name to the love that will not shut its *bleeping* mouth
You might be able to make something coherent out of it.
DuBois is a jackass. Stigma that animation is just for kids? Uh... I don’t believe this movie is targeted to adults.
I reject that I have to tolerate sin. While I love sinners, I will not tolerate sin even if Hollywood would bestow on me their great medal of “tolerance”!
How’s this!?
Took out the quotation marks
Great, but you need to replace some of the quotation marks because they aren’t showing up right. Look at it and you will see what I mean.
You’re fast!
I looked at it right after posting it. (big grin)
Thank you for letting me use it.
Actually I think Pat Buchanan was saying “the love that will not shut up” around 1992.
Yeah, but ...’92?? We hadn’t seen NOTHIN yet, back then.
I am more libertarian than mosst on FR and have no problem with gay people. I want everyone to be happy. However, must this be at the forefront of everything???? I am a huge NFL fan and can’t list to NFL Radio on Sirius anymore because it’s Michael Sam all day, every day. I find myself screaming at the radio-Talk about the 4-3 vs. the the 3-4. Opine if Bortles and Manziel are going to be successful. Enough with some halfway decent DE.
#26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
NOV 2009 - In a Q&A with Details magazine, the British film and stage actor and openly homosexual star of the Lord of the Rings blockbuster motion picture trilogy, Ian McKellen, admitted to a habit of tearing out the Bible passage that condemns homosexuality -- Leviticus 18:22 -- every time he finds 1 in his hotel room. The passage states, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." "I'm not proudly defacing the book," he asserted, "but it's a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible." McKellen said his actions inspired others to do the same. "I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom."
