Well, I wouldn't be surprised in any case. It's not like they haven't tried to homosexualize an American icon before.

By the way, did you know Lincoln was gay?

:p

I'm not. I know that homosexual people have given their lives for America. *points to the soldier whose funeral was recently hijacked by Phelps and his ilk*

The thing is, Superman isn't a homosexual. Nor has he been shown to be a bisexual. That's my problem with the angle WB appears to be taking in the advertisement of this movie.

And I love how you use the overused line 'homophobia'. I don't fear homosexuals. I just don't want things that have no business being homosexual being...well, homosexual. Nor do I want children being subjected to homosexuality in elementary school. Things like that.

looks like I missed the excitement...

The left seems to be getting antsy on the heels of the Federal Marriage Amendment debate. I can only imagine how enraged they will get as the 2006 elections draw near...

Not Superman. Batman.

To: bpjam

"In addition to drawing poor reviews and generating weak word-of-mouth, the studio's 1997 summer release "Batman & Robin" was criticized for having too much homoerotic appeal, including nipples on Batman's suit. George Clooney, the film's star, has joked, "I could have played him straight but I didn't. I made him gay."

Which is why I preferred Michael Keaton.
