it's just a personal thing with me, i applaud the making of any film be it gay or straight. i just don't watch certain films.
am i/we homophobic? i'm not sure but i do know that would be proud to call jack friend going off what little i know of him from here.
don't get me wrong, i wouldn't want to see him in a sex clinch with his partner Smile for me it's people like jack (his attitude and not his sexual preferences) that diminish the taboo of same sex in media. for me love hate should be the same in any relationship, that's one of the main reasons i don't watch love stories per say. the thought of two guys seldom enters my thoughts and i think it's because of who i am, not what i am. while we all have labels i don't think we are labels we're all the same in 99% of instances. we all love, hate emote in exactly the same way
Homophobic? I don't know. If it's not then why would seeing two men together bother anybody?
This post got me questioning why is it that I struggle when seeing two men together romantically? I live in a fairly isolated area and we don't have many if any known gays, so it's not something that I'm accustomed to or see. Would living in an area with much more openness change my attitude? Would it lessen my struggle or would it encourage me to be repulsed?

the sight of seeing two men kissing/fondling etc, even on screen doesn't work right in my brain.
This is what I'm trying to understand. My husband couldn't watch the movie either, yet I know very well he'd have no problem watching lesbians, and most likely would become aroused. Seeing two females or two males does nothing for me sexually, though seeing two males makes me shudder. By my confession am I infact a homophobic? I shudder to think so.
This is not a topic that I find myself engaged in often, I appreciate it ... gets me looking deep within my own prejudices if infact it is a prejudice or merely an ignorance.
I wouldn't want to see Jack mooning his mate either, I also wouldn't want to see my hetero freinds mooning each other either ... I consider it a private act. People slobbering over each other publicly is a turn off for me.
I hope I didn't come across as pointing fingers in judgement ... not my intention.
You give to the world when you're giving your best to somebody else.
