KEV SMH APOLOGIZ FOR TELLG BEN AFFLECK STORY ABOUT GAY KISS 'CHASG AMY'

Michael Sam beme the first openly gay player to be drafted when the then-St. You all know how big a fan I am of the gay muny. You all know the rpect and fascatn I have for gay culture and practic.

I've said many an terview, om 'Chasg Amy' onward, that the only reason I never dabbled homosexualy when I was younger was bee I wouldn't know what to say to a guy after he blew a load my mouth - a sentiment that says more about my social awkwardns than any socially awkward stereotyp that've been unfairly hung on the gay muny. Gay or straight has never been a big issue wh me. I've been knee-ep gayns for the better part of my twenti and up (I jt know THAT'S gog to be prted out of ntext somewhere: SMITH SAYS HE'S "KNEE-DEEP IN GAYNESS").

Bob Hawk (he who was most rponsible for exposg the world to 'Clerks') is about as gay as they e (no pun tend), and he lived wh me for three years. My brother's gay.

JAGUARS ASSOCIATE STRENGTH ACH OUT AS GAY A FIRST FOR US-BASED PRO LEAGU

There are proment members of this board muny who are gay.

Now lt you all thk I'm panrg, I'm not tryg to save face wh the View Askew Gay All-Stars list above; I'm jt tryg to give some ntext as to why I was so cshed to receive Stt Seom's GLAAD missive. So as soon as I read , I lled Stt Seom (who joked about how hard was to grow up gay wh a last name like Seom) to addrs his ncerns.

He was a sweet guy who, after talkg to him for an hour, admted that his heart, he knew I was not a homophobe. I poted out that the jok the movie, while funny at face value, do far more than evoke chuckl at the expense of the gay muny. When you have two ma characters who've both - at one pot or another - hted at or flat-out pped to homo-erotic pas, how on earth n that be nsired "gay-bashg".

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS' KEV MAXEN BE FIRST MALE COACH TO COME OUT AS GAY MAJOR U.S. SPORTS

When that movie me out, the board got flood wh angry posts, mandg "How n you make Jay gay like that?! If you believe Stt's stated posn that the target dience for our flicks is "teen and young adult mal", then you have to allow that some of the imprsnable youngsters will have to e to grips wh the fact that the character they hold very arly as one of "their's" has, fact, exprsed homosexual tennci. And eher those folks stop beg fans at that moment, or accept that a character they intify wh engag behavr they may not approve of (if you work unr the assumptn, of urse, that ALL "teen and young adult mal" are terrified of the gay muny).

The gay jok 'Jay and Silent Bob' satirize a young male culture terrified of any ck that isn't their own. I accept the fact that some folks seeg the flick may not get the joke behd the joke, and jt walk away thkg "Jay and Silent Bob don't wanna be gay, man! " However, I also KNOW - based on posts I've read on this board, followg the release of 'Chasg Amy' and 'Dogma' - that some folks that same mographic will walk away om this movie a ltle more tolerant toward the gay muny.

Gay sex is funny...

Jt like the homophobic md-set, while ighteng, is also fodr for ridicule (ed, we make fun of the exact thg we're beg acced of the Biggs and Van Der Beek scene 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'). He said he'd be askg Miramax to make a substantial donatn to the Matthew Shepherd Foundatn (Matthew Shepherd is the Wyomg stunt who was beaten to ath for beg gay one of the worst hate crim recent memory; the Foundatn's aim is to te the public on the dangers of homophobia). It was nice to hear, as I was always kd of bugged that we didn't receive much GLAAD attentn on 'Amy', nsirg how pro-gay the flick was.

Then, yterday afternoon, I field a phone ll om Rebec Ascher-Walsh of 'Entertament Weekly', askg me to ment on how GLAAD ( the person of Stt Seom) was "horrified" by the homophobia on para 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'. Sudnly, I was beg pated as homophobic by GLAAD. Neher 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' nor myself are homophobic.

Fuck, if anythg, we're overtly gay-iendly.

In regards to the film, the openly gay journalists who saw durg the junket didn't exprs one ta of a rervatn regards to the ntent of the flick. And believe me - if anyone was gog to ll me on the gay jok the flick, was the producer of 'Trick' himself. But most importantly, *I* don't feel the film's homophobic.

I would never (nor uld never) make a homophobic film. Based on what Rebec Ascher-Walsh told me, my donatn is now beg portrayed as an admissn of some sort of culpabily; that by givg ten thoand dollars to this worthy e, I'm sentially sayg "I'm sorry I ma some gay jok. I'm not sorry - bee I didn't make jok at the expense of the gay muny.

And by makg them and other mental midgets the film so leery of homosexualy, I'm makg fun of a md-set that exists our culture - a md-set, md you, that I didn't create nor ndone.
