Re: [MOPO] Religious Right & Controversy

[Tom A. Pennock]

Can anyone explain why there is no controversy about "Brokeback Mountain" which star's two "straight" men in "real" life that play "gay" men in this movie. But then the film "End Of The Spear" is a christian film with no gay theme but yet Chad Allen takes flak because he is "really" gay in real life. He is NOT portraying a "gay" character in "End Of The Spear". I can't understand what upsets people when a person has a private life of his own. Is it because Chad Allen is a gay activist? Is the fear that Chad Allen will convert people with a role in a christian film to become gay? I think that reasoning is silly. Don't people understand at all about orietation?    --Tom Pennock     Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
