Of Course It’s Dark And Sinister…It’s About A Gay Kid’s First Love After All…
So I’m watching Logo and the perky Logo/CBS news droid comes on and one of the stories he tells me about is that there are a gosh awful lot of gay themed short films coming out of Sundance this year. The spot goes on to show a few clips from one of them, Bug Crush which the film maker cheerfully describes as the story of a young gay boy’s first high school crush that turns dark and sinister…
Swell. Just swell. Can’t have enough sinister darkness when it comes to stories about gay kids and their first high school romances can you? Is Exodus sponsoring Sundance this year?
I’m at the point now where I think you should have to have a license to make a film with gay characters in it. You apply for the license and you pay a fee and you fill out a form with these three questions on it:
- Love is:
a) A vital human need
b) A childish illusion
c) Useful as a marketing tool - Movies that exalt love:
a) Acknowledge and explore a fundamental part of our humanity
b) Are hopelessly derivative
c) Are hilarious in a campy sort of way - True or False: Homosexuals don't love, they just have sex.
You flunk the test and you get your license stamped NO GAY MATERIAL, because you really shouldn’t be bothering gay and lesbian people with your crap. Seriously. Go bother heterosexuals. No…strike that…heterosexuals don’t deserve you either. Go bother republicans.
