"Co-director/co-screenwriter Andrew Adamson, in an article in the Los Angeles Times, has already 'fessed up to the movie's central metaphor, but you don't need a road map to see what Shrek 2 is getting at. Not when one of the characters, just after expressing distaste at the notion of two ogres in love, hastens to add, "Not that there's anything wrong with that." In this year when a certain head of state seeks to write an exclusionary definition of "marriage" into the U.S. Constitution, Shrek 2 contends otherwise: No one has the right to tell you whom you can love; those who preach the loudest about the right way to live are often the biggest hypocrites. This is a movie that is ogre and proud. "

this would make sense if it was 2 ogres of the same sex, this is someone trying to hijack a quote/theme.

Exactly.

How desperate do you have to be with your own self worth if you're reduced to using a silly movie to push your agenda.
