That is equivalent to saying that if I do not visit a whorehouse then I cannot condemn what goes on inside.

Come on that's a facile answer. And the presence of 'obscene' words isn't always out of place. Shakespeare's plays are larded with obscenity. If a character speaks that way that's how they speak. As for naming some ,'Rachel Getting Married', 'Synechodche NY', 'Transsiberian', 'Wall*E'. The latter in particular is a stirring call for individualism.

I haven’t seen it, but don’t I recall that the killer picked Milk because he saw Milk as responsible for his firing? This film seems to be adopting Milk (what were his accomplishments, again?) as a gay martyr.
