This New York Times article about the film Brokeback Mountain makes an excellent point regarding the belief of many right-wing Christians in the U.S. that homosexuality is essentially a disease or a phase that one can recover from.
"If anyone believes that gay men can actually become ex-gay men, I have just one question for you: Would you want your daughter to marry one?"
Just saw Brokeback Mountain this weekend...The article is funny and right on. Also, for those who haven't see it, rent "But I am a Cheerleader, " a hilarious film on the whole "curing" theme.
ReplyDeleteI think I saw "But I am a Cheerleader" at the Phoenix in Oxford actually - hilarious! But taking up a serious theme of course.
