To: null and void
Well, I'm not a lesbian, or gay, I saw this with my girlfriend when I was visiting her in NY. I've already decided what my sexual orientation is, and I wanted to evaluate the film for myself.

I predict that a lot more people are going to see the film in the DVD version, there were a lot of places that you couldn't find it, and there are probably a lot of people who wouldn't walk into a theater in their towns, but the anonymity of NetFlix will give them an opportunity to make up their own minds about it.

She said the scenery was stunning, and the ending was very sad. Over all she liked it. Only one other person in the theater (matinee showing).

What was your experience?

Not that there is anything relevant with that prefaced pronouncement. LOL

You seem quite discerning regarding movies -what about vocabulary and word usage? Your use of the "lesbian" and "gay" terms to refer to males and females suffering the homosexual disorder does imply you have perhaps unwittingly bought into the homosexual agenda propaganda party line hook line and sinker.

homosexual: Definition, Synonyms and Much More From Answers.com

homosexual


adjective

Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.

noun Usage Problem.

A homosexual person; a gay man or a lesbian.

USAGE NOTE: Many people now avoid using homosexual because of the emphasis this term places on sexuality. Indeed, the words gay and lesbian, which stress cultural and social matters over sex, are frequently better choices. Homosexual is most objectionable when used as a noun; here gay man and gay woman or lesbian and their plural forms are called for. It is generally unobjectionable when used adjectivally, as in a homosexual relationship, although gay, lesbian, or same-sex are also available for adjectival use. See Usage Notes at gay.

As far as I know the only thing that differentiates homosexuals from heterosexuals is SEX.

Can provide insight beyond more than touting this 'gay' movie and educate me on just what comprises the "cultural and social" differences which are exclusive to and encompass male and or female homosexuals?

In other words -is there something fundamental that I am not aware of premising the terms 'gay' & lesbian' OR is it simply as I suspect a leftist "usage suggestion" -propaganda parroted by both witting and unwitting tools of the left?
