Is America ready for Gay Cowboys on the Big Screen?

I think that the quality of family structure is best measured by the time, effort, love, caring, understanding, and nurturing that goes into them... not the specific genitalia that the people involved have.

You totally missed my point. I'm talking Darwinism, you're talking psychology.

I've thought that it might be partly genetic. But, I think it's more of a learned response.

I just read the "Circumcise my baby boy?" thread, and realized this is related. A lot (probably most) American women think that uncircumcised penises are "gross". Obviously, this is not genetic. It's a learned response -- what they become familiar with, is "normal", and unfamiliar things are "gross".

I concur sir. I don't mind saying that if I see two gay guys about to kiss on TV, I physically cringe and look away. I will usually say something like 'oh gross' and try and wait until it's safe to look at the screen again.

I don't make any apologies for that. As far as I'm concerned, this is a totally natural reaction for me. It's as though my brain finds something just utterly sick about watching that, and I just can't do it without feeling ill. It's an automatic reaction.

However, I'm not an anti-gay, or a homophobe, or immature about the issue. If a dude wants to do that, he can stick his stuff wherever he pleases, I don't care. I treat everyone with respect until they prove to me that they don't deserve it, and I think people should be able to live how they want to live.

That doesn't however mean that I want to see it, so I'm giving this movie two thumbs down.

Steve, I am very excited to see this. I think this has the potential to be the best "Gay Cowboy" movie ever made!

No No No.....

In the trailer, there was a lot of cuddling and close to kissing between the two. While I have nothing against gays, it makes me uncomfortable, for the same reason some gay people find heterosexual activities physically repulsive. The only way I'll be seeing this movie is if my gf forces it upon me, and she might because she really likes gay guys kissing etc. Is America ready for it? Absolutely not. If it hasn't started already, wait for the masses of right-wing Christian rallies and [censored] against the gay media corrupting our children.

IMO, behind closed doors the Christian Right is probably watching much worse stuff than this.

More along the lines of "Whos Your Daddy: Little Pink Butt Butts Vols.1-36"

They are also eating aborted children and copulating with goats. All behind closed doors of course.

obviously!
