IT'S POSSIBLE TO E TWO GUYS KISSG FOR GROSS-OUT HUMOR WHOUT A HOMOPHOBIC TONE (TALLAGA NIGHTS, THE KIDS THE HALL AND THE OFFICE HAVE ACPLISHED THAT) BUT MEET THE SPARTANS DON'T HAVE THAT KD OF SUBTLE TOUCH AND 'S NOT AIMED AT AN DIENCE THAT N SEPARATE THE TWO. MORE GROSS-OUT HUMOR IS EMPLOYED WHEN GUY'S FACE CLOSE TO ANOTHER GUY'S CROTCH ... 'S ALL STUFF SEEN BEFORE OTHER MOVI (BORAT, FOR EXAMPLE), BUT WH ALL THE GAY JOK THERE'S A VERY DIFFERENT TONE TO THE {BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}STILL, MEET THE SPARTANS HAD A UPLE REEMG MOMENTS. AT ONE POT, THE MOVIE TURNS TO A PARODY OF THE BUDWEISER'S "REAL MEN OF GENI" ADS, LABELG LEONIDAS "MR. WARMONGERG LATENT HOMOSEXUAL", A MOMENT THAT'S UNQUTNABLY MOCKS THE WAY 300 TRIED SO HARD TO OVERLOOK 'S HOMOEROTIC QUALI. ADDNALLY, WHEN CHRIS CROCKER'S "LEAVE BRNEY ALONE" VIO APPEARS, THE JOKE IS ONE OF MEET THE SPARTANS' SUBTLER MOMENTS. (WE'RE TALKG SUBTLE A RELATIVE SENSE.) IT STARTS AS A TRANSFORMERS PARODY, WHEN XERX TURNS A R TO A ROBOT WH A TV SCREEN ON S CHT. WHEN THE SCREEN STARTS PLAYG CROCKER'S NOTOR VIO, THE SPARTANS ARE ENTHRALLED WH THE TECHNOLOGY (UNLIKE THE SPARTANS TRAILER WHERE THEY LGH AT CROCKER). THE JOKE IS MORE ABOUT THE TRIVIAL WAYS WE E TECHNOLOGY (XERX TALKS UP THE POWER OF HIS ROBOT, WHICH TURNS OUT SIMPLY HAS THE ABILY TO PLAY YOUTUBE CLIPS) THAN A MOCKG OF CROCKER'S EFFEMACY. (EXTRA POTS FOR TURNG THE CHANCE TO MOCK THE MISPLACED PRRI CROCKER DISPLAYS HIS "LEAVE BRNEY ALONE" VIO TO A GREATER GAG ABOUT OUR SOCIETAL PRRI.){BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}OH, AND ONE OTHER REEMG FEATURE OF MEET THE SPARTANS: TRAVIS VAN WKLE (ON THE FAR LEFT).{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}{BOX-SIZG:BORR-BOX;PADDG:24PX 0;} A{LOR:#354A4E;-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;TEXT-RATN:UNRLE;} A:HOVER, A:FOC{-WEBK-TEXT-RATN:NONE;TEXT-RATN:NONE;} B, STRONG{FONT-WEIGHT:700;}AS I MENTNED EARLIER, MEET THE SPARTANS IS JT TOO MUCH OF A MS TO FD AS A HOMOPHOBIC FOLLOW-UP OR A CLEVER TWEAK ON 300. SOME OF THE GAGS ARE CLEVER, SOME OF THE GAGS ULD GO EHER WAY, AND SOME GAGS ULD PLAY TO AN DIENCE'S HOMOPHOBIA ... BUT MOST OF THE HUMOR FALLS FLAT AND SPARTANS, OVERALL, LACKS A STRONG ENOUGH VOICE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

I’M 43 – BUT I’M MA TO FEEL LIKE A DOSR BY YOUNGER GAY MEN

I'm not gay. Perhaps to further strengthen the bond to fend your brother, a majory of Spartans were gay?

I'm sure not every Spartan was gay of urse, but I know homosexualy was viewed differently and even embraced cultur like Rome.
