Re: g_b Actors who wont watch Brokeback Mountain.
GuysGET OVER IT!If hetrosexual actors, acting gay cowboy roles clumsily fake a gay kiss on a prairie somewhere and it saves just ONE poor gay guy in Lucknow getting lynched by a homophobic venal policeman THEN IT IS WORTH IT.Now is NOT the time to start standing on soapboxes crying about 'truthfulness' in art when this bigoted and violent country is prosecuting its young men, jailing them, tormenting them with forced marriages, and buggering its young boys into the bargain. Get real! Get angry! Get to the streets and protest or people are going to get hurt.Stupid American comedians protesting about dull american films have nothing real or true to say about the nation of India. Let the dull films come, maybe they will help. They certainly can't hurt.JohnSweet Angel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: "I'm for gay marriage, gay divorce, gay this and gay that.
