Shalit regrets 'Brokeback' remarks

Shalit responded on Jan. 10 in a statement sent to GLAAD in which he wrote, "I certainly had no intention of casting aspersions on anyone in the gay community or on the community itself. I regret any emotional hurt that may have resulted from my review of 'Brokeback Mountain.'"

"In describing the behavior of 'Jack,'" he continued, "I used words ('sexual predator') that I now discover have angered, agitated, and hurt many people. I did not intend to use a word that many in the gay community consider incendiary."

In his review, Shalit called the film "wildly over praised" and described Gyllenhaal's character as a "sexual predator" who "tracks Ennis down and coaxes him into sporadic trysts."

I'm sorry that Shalit backed down.

I suppose backing down to the gay lobby is better than backing up to them...

There is a cost, but when we are right, we are right. That's all that matters. Things have a way of playing in the end when you're on the right side of an issue.

They have a cadre of lawyers that can make paupers of any one of us. They can have you fired from a job with no power to respond. They dominate the institutions of this country. They are mega-wealthy and mega-evil. This talk about fighting them is grand and dandy, but where do you start? Which of our representatives would even endorse the views of this thread?

For awhile, it was coercion through an appeal to our tolerance, but there is no pleasing these people, any more than the radical black, hispanic, and feminist activists can be pacified.

As recently as August of 1976, we openly mocked and laughed at the "Gay Students Organization" table at the University of Arizona. We were 18 and full of testosterone, not envisioning a day when "we" would be the outcasts and "they" would be the power in society.

Think we can fight them? I'll bite. How?

The only way we can fight this is by banding together in supportive groups who will support each other financially and protect each other as challenges to homosexuals happen. Lots of groups nationally with lots of support, just the way they do it.

This is misleading, a lot of the revenues do not show up because many people are sneaking in through the back door!
