It is about how homophobia and hypocrisy force them to marry and have children instead of living the lives God and nature gave them.

Sounds like a bitter, old fag.

Get a grip. This movie is completely insignificant. What an embarrassment that this was written by a Professor! Sorry Prof but YOU do NOT have the right to dictate what morality SHOULD be to everyone else. Amazing how basically totalitarian these people are demanding that they be allowed to impose their lassie faire morality on everyone else.

Yep, old God up there wants everyone to live their life in an abomination to him!

The target here is hypocrisy and self-appointed moralists who think they can tell us how to think, how to live, how to say happy holidays and how to interpret world events.

The Prof sounds like a bit of a self-appointed moralist himself. But I'm sure the irony is lost on him...

"The target here is hypocrisy and self-appointed moralists who think they can tell us how to think, how to live, how to say happy holidays and how to interpret world events."

This from the PC police. I don't think I care if someone is homosexual. What I dispise is the constant push to tell ME what I have to think, live and interpret.

There is no Biblical foundation to argue that God makes anyone a homosexual, nor is there any evidence that nature does so. What there is, is a radical leftist homosexual agenda and this movie is part of that.

I guess he's complaining that some theater owners have chosen not to show a particular movie in their theaters. If he were a libertarian, he would have defended their right to decide what movies they do or don't want to show.

here is my take on it....and we all know what opinions are like.

I dont care who buggers whom (of course following the dictates of legal age). But for God sake if it unnatural, keep it out of the main stream and the media. Nobody needs to see it....it is disgusting. Don't make it a cause celeb....keep it your dirty little secret.

What the proponents of this call a phobia, is not....its is revulsion, like what most people feel seeing the remains of a suicide bomber or someone who was in a nasty motorcycle accident. Not for the front page, so to speak.

No libertarian would use the word 'force' this way.

It is not just about two gay cowboys. It is about how homophobia and hypocrisy force them to marry and have children instead of living the lives God and nature gave them.

In other words, the movie is homosexual propaganda.

The movie is nothing more than an attack on a cultural icon, the manly cowboy. It is the cinimatic equivalent of the Left going, "Oh yeah? Nayyya, nayyya, nayyya! You think you are so macho, Mr. Conservative! Well, here!". It is like whizzing on the flag: protected speech, but no real American would do it.

A libertarian complaining that people are exercising their free will to (a) not show the movie in their private theatres, and (b) not spend their personal money to see the movie. Yeah, sure Norm, you're a libertarian.

"instead of living the lives God and nature gave them"

WTF? God doesn't make homos. Perverted lust makes homos.

The BBM film script is a typical scenario lifted from the ambiguous but elite liaisons seen at any Hollywood cocktail/cocaine party or production office, and re-written as a trailer trash gay-vindication romance. Of course Hollywood, et al, loves the film: it's their story.

Sodomy, pornography, open borders, drugs. That's Libertarianism in a nutshell.
