I have decided to come OUT of the closet!

I took my twins 14 year old daughters to see Sweet November today. It was a pretty good movie, except for the gratuitous homosexuality. I say gratuitous, because the man that lived downstairs from the main female character did not HAVE to be gay. It would have been ok if he was JUST gay. But NO! The Hollywood Liberal Left, seeing the need to inject America at large with it's required dose of homosexuality. Dose requirement determined by Liberal, Gay, or Democratic Party, law, your choice) The way that the viewer is informed that the nice, easy-going, level-headed, intelligent man downstairs is gay, is to be invited to a party. At this party, the neighbor, AND his gay, friend, or something, are both dressed as women. Neither of these two looked like women. Neither looked comfortable in a dress, and this display of gratuitous homosexuality had ABSOLUTELY no bearing on the story line. I guess this time I am being half movie critic, and half conservative writer.

Well, I was somewhat concerned about subjecting my daughters to this sodomistic display, until one of my daughters leaned over and said, "They sure took all the fun out of Spot the Homo" in this movie." I do not think that I have ever been more proud. My daughter, and probably daughters, (later confirmed) have what I consider a healthy attitude about homosexuality. It is not something to get uptight about, and it is certainly not a taboo subject. This to me is great.

One thing that I did feel I needed to discuss with my daughters, was the propensity of Hollywood to portray that the only really good friend a woman can have is a fag. I call your attention to "My Best Friends Wedding, The Next Best Thing, and now Sweet November. I believe if I took the time to research the subject, I could find MANY more, but why bother. It is pretty
obvious to me that Hollywood is the modern Sodom and Gomorrah. There is no reason to research the obvious. By the way, I intentionally used the word "fag", get over it! But if the only good friend a woman could have is an amazingly attractive fag, then all of my good friends should be gorgeous Lesbians. I am looking forward to that. The conversion work should keep me busy for years. By the way, apologies to my attractive Lesbians friends, (You know who you are) Although you are my friends, AND attractive, as it happens, you certainly do not constitute my ONLY friends.

You may be wondering why this rant is entitled, " I have decided to come out of the closet!" Here is why. I am sure that the gay loving liberals, that want to give special rights to people because of a perverted act that they engage in, think that I hate Gays. This is not true. Believe it or note, I have gay friends. But, lest you misunderstand, I accept my homosexual friends, not their lifestyles. I in fact, tell my homosexual friends, that I accept, like, and count on them as friends, but that I unequivocally condemn their lifestyles. I do not judge homosexuals, I judge homosexual
behavior and activity. That may sound like splitting hairs, but to me, it is a GREAT distinction. I do not write a person off because he can't stop drinking, nor will I write a man off because he can't stop kissing men. As long as my Gay friends (male or female) keep their propensities to themselves, I will not attack them for it. But if they proselytize their beliefs in public, then I will publicly condemn them.

My last little bomb on this subject. Personally, I think that for a LOT of young girls, and probably some boys, pissing off Dad is a preferred means of revolt. In my youth, the way you pissed off Dad, was the proverbial "Guess who's coming to Dinner?" (that would be dating outside of your race, for the Liberals). Now days, this is too vanilla. (pun intended) These days, too many parents are "enlightened" and understanding about this, SO... it becomes necessary to raise the bar. I think that lipstick lesbianism, and maybe some male homosexuality is nothing but a cry for attention. A possible exception, Ann Haich, I think she did it to become famous and promote her career. When Ellen DeGenerate was no longer helping, and possibly hurting her career, POOF! she is straight again.
