Rather offensive...
7 May 1999
This movie meant well. But that we are still watching people's phobias, prejudices, and hatred of gays and lesbians -- and then in a way being told that for others to hate and despise us is just a natural reaction, is insulting. It may be natural for some to feel this way about gay people, but if someone who felt the same strong "natural" reactions towards women, or blacks, or asians, were to voice them so casually and then try to justify those feelings, we would be all over them advising them that their reactions were not to be tolerated and they should keep such feelings to themselves. Why not the same here? I hated listening for a good portion of this movie about what a hard decision it is to raise a gay child. Children are tough to raise no matter gay, straight, male, female, whatever. Again, I think the parties involved in making this had good intentions...I just wonder why all the political correctness claptrap didn't apply here. This is where it was really needed.
