TCM celebrates Gay Pride Month

@ Adam: Perhaps we misread David's initial comment but it seems he himself removed the veil in his subsequent ones. There _does_ however seem to be an awful lot of homophobia and hostility to any post on a pop culture website that positively mentions gays or lesbians. From the Heroes mishgas with Zach to having _one_ character out of _fifty_ in Lost be queer, the general feeling (on the internet) seems to be you're not wanted. I myself _don't_ feel the need to see myself on teevee and don't require a gay quota but it's insulting when it feels like you _can't_.

Anyone using the term "gay lifestyle" can be presumed to be a bigot; not that you are, but this term can almost always be found in the pronouncements of the real bigots out there. The truth is, of course, that gay people have as wide a variety of lifestyles as straight people. The TCM link doesn't use the term. (I'm straight but also a copy editor.)

Have fun at the pride festival since Saturday isn't June, David. :)

What I'm saying is Gay Pride Month became more wide spread after the bullshit Clinton pulled.

And yeah I'm right wing... fucking idiots....

What am I doing Saturday? Going to the local Gay Pride Day, fucking ignorant fools.

Actually, David, Gay Pride Month dates back to the first gay pride parade in June 1970 (just after the Stonewall Rebellion).

Just a suggestion, but if you're going to spout ignorant right-wing garbage, you should at least be historically correct.

If I'm reading David's comments correctly, he's not saying Gay Pride Month is bad, he's saying it was something Clinton came up with whilst paradoxically putting the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act into effect.

I think you guys misread what he wrote.

Or maybe I did.

But I think that's what he meant.

Don't be offended. David hates everything. He thinks everything is lame. I've never seen a positive comment from the guy - about anything.

On the Hitchcock set, Martin Landau asserts that his character in North By Northwest was gay, although this was something he decided in determining his motivation rather than anything explicitly in the screenplay.

RSL you are a fucking idiot.

Clinton called June Gay Pride Month after signing into law the "'Defense' of Marriage Act". That's when June "offically" became Gay pride Month.

Oh silly insecure breeder David, of course there's not a gay month. Adam said there was a gay _pride_ month. We all know all the months are really taken up by you white, straight, Christian males. Don't worry. You power position's still safe.

@ Adam, those certainly are some "classic" ie. _old_ movies. I was hoping they'd do something with a little less "faded glamour" and a little more, dare I say, substance and relevance. Oh well. Straight massa is always right. I guess I shouldn't question.
