GAY

" When he was tght by his father to hate homosexuals, Ennis was tght to hate his own feelgs. "Brokeback Mounta" has been scribed as "a gay wboy movie, " which is a cel simplifitn. They aren't gay; one of them is a womanizer and the other spends his whole life regrettg the loss of the one woman he loved.

It uld be a "gay wboy movie. I n image someone weepg at this film, intifyg wh , bee he always wanted to stay the Mar, or be an artist or a is able to accept a ltle more willgly that he is pably gay.

ROGER EBERT’S THOUGHTS ON GAY MARRIAGE

Born Taiwan, he mak movi about Amerins, Brish, Che, straights, gays; his sci-fi movie "Hulk" was about a misunrstood outsir. Brokeback MountaBrokeback Mounta has been scribed as "a gay wboy movie, " which is a cel simplifitn. For them homosexualy seems ls a sexual orientatn than a license to practice fay unselg.

THE VOICE OF CHICAGO'S GAY, LESBIAN, BI, TRANS AND QUEER COMMUNITY SINCE 1985

Betiful ThgAlthough I have never been a gay London teenager, I had the feelg that Jamie and Ste were not unrstood very eply by the film, and their behavr wasn't nvcg.

After they tentatively accept that they are gay, for example, they go to a pub advertised Gay Tim and fd drag queens puttg on a floor show. To beg wh, no London teenager is gog to be pletely the dark about homosexualy.

WeekendThe movie volv two gay men, who meet a bar, wake up bed the next morng and beg a nversatn that unexpectedly grows very ep.

MARCIA GAY HARN

Some aspects volve homosexualy, but this isn't a "gay film. From: Garrett BaldwThe subject of "Brokeback Mounta" is jt the fact that two wboys happen to be gay.

I thk should have been bt picture, and was a story about a gay man's fascatn wh a killer. But, that is not the image that "Gay Ameri" wants, a self-pretg man who falls for a madman.

BILLY EICHNER'S GAY ROM-COM BROS A H DPE REVIEW BOMBERS

They want wboys to be gay, to show that anyone n be gay.

"The Next Bt Thg" is a garage sale of gay issu, harnsed to a plot as exhsted as a junkman's horse. The screenplay's so evenhand has no likable characters, eher gay or straight; after seeg this film, I wanted to move to Garry Shandlg's world "What Pla Are You From?, " where nobody has that anybody has a lot of sex this PG-13 film.

The story hg on a murky event that tak place offscreen late one alholic night between Abbie (Madonna) and her gay bt iend Robert (Rupert Everett).

ZORRO, THE GAY BLA

Any movie is bankpt anyway when pends on Perry Mason-style, last-mute unexpected urtroom appearanc to solve what should be an emotnal Everett, "openly gay, " as they say, mt have had to gr his teeth to get through some of his scen.

Kev is a rerd producer, and we see him mixg the tracks a stud for a rap group when Robert swish and pretends to be his ex-lover, while there are lots of ys om the homophobic black rappers. Watchg the movie, I asked myself why so many movi wh homosexuals feel that they need to be about homosexualy.

I subm as evince the magil new film "Wonr Boys, " which the homosexualy of the character played by Robert Downey Jr. Nobody staggers backward and gasps out that his character is gay, bee of urse he's gay and everybody has known that for a long time and, hey, some people are gay, ya know? Roger, who was 70 when he died, wrote a lumn about gay marriage the summer of 2010.
