They don't. Get to know a few of them and ask them a few questions. You'll find that they're not all clones of one another.

That's my point. Thanks! This thread is saying that there is hypocrisy in that. I'll tell my gay friends that you agree with me (and them) too.

No it's not. You need to read through the thread again. Maybe more slowly will help.

Ah, okay. Sorry about the confusion. When this topic was discussed last week, there were a lot of similar misunderstandings.

One could argue that the "pro-gay" position is that this movie is wrong, and that gay politicians deserve privacy, just like straight politicians. The movie argues that allowing them to be private is actually "anti-gay". It's a bit perplexing.

No problem.

I agree. It is perplexing.

thanks for jogging my memory yes ugly stuff indeed.
but that would not mute the point of general reputation.
not that i am a strict adherent to queens rules, it takes a stalin to stop a hitler.
