I have never understood why anyone cares about the sexual orientation of another person. Or about the clothes she wears or the colour of his skin; the religion she is or the language he speaks. I don't doubt that there are circumstances when such considerations might be important, but not most circumstances.

I seldom go to movies, so it's unlikely I will see this one anytime soon. That said, I knew some gay farmer/ranchers many years back. They were good people, paid their taxes, helped their neighbours when the help was needed and accepted help when that was necessary. It was 'redneck' country, but it seems to me that rednecks are not quite the stunned bad asses their reputation says they are. The couple was accepted by the community and ya'd be hard put to start hassling one of those boys because they were both fairly big and strong men. The one time I heard of them being hassled by a group of 'outta-towners' in the town's downtown area, I also heard that about four or five of the regulars showed up within a few minutes and the situation seemed to settle down real fast. As it should have.

I have great difficulty judging a person based on things like sexual orientation, colour, language, religion or political belief because we are all of us so much more than that.

I recall a dog that belonged to a neighbour. I don't remember the type of dog it was (the kind that have a pushed-in face that makes 'em look like they been chasing parked cars), but I swear it was the ugliest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. He was also kind, obedient to his master, quiet, friendly and I'm quite surprised his arse was able to stay attached to his body because he was like to shake it off the way his tail swung his rear end when he saw someone he knew. But, he was pretty easy to write off at first glance.

I am not addressing this to anyone in particular. People have things they hold to in terms of their perceived morality, and it ain't my place to argue with that. But it is my place to state a position.
