Gay is NOT the issue here. Ignorance however......

Ok, I have to address this issue here because it has really been chapping my ass.

I'm going to preface this by letting everyone know I live in California, land of the fruits and nuts and damn proud of it. We have EVERYTHING here, which is why everyone wants to move here.

Ever since before Little Ashes came out, everyone was making a big damn deal over the man-love scene. What I want to know is........is that ALL you get out of this movie?

This is NOT a GAY movie. This movie is about the life and times of Salvador Dali, who was in his time, and still is, one of the most amazing artists in the world. If any of you have actually seen any of his work, you would actually know this. But all I keep hearing is about everyone's worried their beloved "Robward" has gone pile driving.

First of all, his name isn't "Edward". It's Robert Pattinson. He's an A C T O R, not a vampire. He gets paid to portray certain roles. The fact that RP took this roll in my opinion spells out what a talented, multi-faceted actor he really is. Not just an actor, but an artist. That says a great deal about him as a person if everyone can get past Twilight.

We watch women kissing and fondling each other in movies all the time and no one says anything about it. Since the film making industry is dominated by men it doesn't surprise me. But two men kissing? OH NOOOOOO. People start flipping out ..........like you can catch "gay" like the flu or something. (we all remember Brokeback Mountain).

And since I feel strongly about all of this I would also like to add this:
There are three boundaries love doesn't know. Age, sex, race. Love just is. And love takes you as you are. Unconditionally.

So, to all the ignorant gay and straight people out there: GET OVER YOURSELVES ALREADY WILL YA.





Because if THIS (above) is all you took from the movie, instead of this (below),





Then the problem is YOU.

Nuff said. I've made my peace.
