Now that we've made it virtuous to want to see explicit homosexual sex acts, I think in the race for pop cultural acceptance of pornography, gay porn is well ahead of straight porn.

Gays have been around for thousands of years.

I think it's time y'all got over it.

You'd have to pay me to watch a straight rom-com.

You're supposed to want to see a gay one, for the social statement your purchase of a ticket makes.

It's the next most virtuous thing a straight white male can do, after divorcing their wives and marrying a man.

And I've had gay friends all my adult life. Big deal. Doesn't mean the movie should interest me. The thread is not anti-gay, it's about whining that commercial failure is homophobia.

What’s funny is Brokeback Mountain was a commercial success.. But back then a gay relationship in a mainstream movie was edgy, today it’s conformist, even a bit preachy.

This is pretty nonsensical. Bowel Movements have been around for thousands of years. That doesn’t mean that I would like to spend money and time watching one.

Humans killing Humans has been around for thousands of years, should I get over it?

Humans have been having children for thousands of years. Should I get over it?

Being around is one thing.

Being worshipped and given special privilege is something else.

Get over it.

Seeing two men romantically kiss is still nauseating, just like if I saw two siblings kiss, or saw Aqua's sister and Jon's sister kiss. Just gross.

I agree. Probably between 10-20% of people maybe are gay. That limits your movie population quite a bit.

20% is way too high. In any other social climate than modern Western civilization, I'd say 10% is too high.
