LGBT people have all kinds of things to rally around. We have healthcare. We have the struggle for basic human rights. We have the struggle for discrimination and hate crimes protection. We have the struggle to be able to serve our country openly and honestly. We have the struggle to raise a family. We have all these struggles, and now, we have have the struggle for equality in the movies?

Yes, you read right. Equality in the movies! Seems there are groups out in the world wide web who have a beef with Hollywood. They see that the number of gay-friendly or openly gay characters are highly disproportionate than the heterosexual characters and couples/relationships.

Still think this is stupid. There is nothing in that movie to protest.

I actually almost cried several times in the theatre because I felt so many things in Avatar were parallel to being Transgender.
Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar

I told 'ya the other day Min that great parody is the champagne of humor, it's funny twice, once when you get it, and the second time when others don't.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

This is so weird because there are many movies that mock transgendered people directly. Did we protest them? Sounds like somebody just has it in for Cameron.
