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.
Poe's Law!
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.
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.
