Seriously, I am cool with gays and even with gay rights. However, the issue is when you see 10 year old kids believe they are gay because of what they see and hear, we need to take a step back and take a look. Slater was probably less than 14 years old. The fact that this movie touches on him being gay made me feel alittle weird. Whats next? A gay 2 year old baby. Let's distance homosexuality and kids.
shareYou obviously haven't been around alot of gay people. Alot of us have know we were since childhood.
shareNothing 'influences' homosexuality... Your brain is either wired to be attracted to the same sex, or it isn't.
If a kid could adequately vocalise his feelings at age 2, then you might have a gay baby... but that would have to be one advanced toddler.
Just because it makes you feel weird doesn't mean that there aren't already instances of gay 14 year olds who are aware of their own preferences.
You can't distance homosexuality from someone who has the genetic makeup to be homosexual.
If you're straight (which I assume you are... ) then it would be like someone telling you NOT to be that way... It wouldn't be effective, and such a limitation serves no purpose anyway.

I agree with you OP, that was one seriously contrived scene. It seemed that the writers needed to throw a Politically Correct message in the script to make up for the latino and black stereotypes they tried to use for laughs.
How the hell did he know the kid was gay? Because he took it hard when his friend found a new best friend? Oh give me a break, the movie only once hinted that he might be gay and BLAM we get this big Glee like speech about accepting homosexuals so they could move on to making fun of blacks, Latinos, and gay drug dealers again.
"Blah blah, *beep* shut the *beep* up" LMAO Karl was great. But there is a lot going on in this movie and clearly we are on the topic of homosexuality here.
The simple solution to everyone's conflict is the realization that everyone is different, but everyone is also the same. We all just want to be happy. The problems arise when people can't figure out what makes them happy. And I believe this starts in childhood.
First let me touch on the whole "its 2012 and I can't believe people are..." It doesn't matter what year it is, only that there will always be new and old generations and the two will always be at odds. But I believe this only because we are still stuck in a cycle. The old generation lies to the new generation. Either to avoid uncomfortable subjects or to try and preserve the innocence the new generation. The latter is understandable, but in the end it does no good to fill a child's head with false hopes and dreams and attempt avoid the inevitable loss of innocence.
Also at some point, many people stop trying to understand the world around them, because they think they have it all figured out. But really there is no end to understanding and knowledge. Everything is connected, and by refusing to understand even the smallest things can blur your whole outlook on life.
Now homo, hetero, and bi-sexual. Three specific terms for one general idea. Sex/Love. The catalyst for life. It just occured to me that the universe could be the result of sex, but that's going too deep. Your sexuality will determine your happiness. Not that any one sexuality brings more or less happiness, but knowing which one makes you happy is critical to the individual and irrelevent to anyone except that individual and their partner.
Open your eyes, your minds and your hearts people. Otherwise we are going to continue to hurt eachother all because we think we know better than the other guy.
Yeah, just because he stared at those guys on the train didn't mean the kid was gay. Just because he was a little more sensitive than other guys his age, didn't mean he liked other guys. Maybe the other kid he fussed at at the bat mitzvah really was the only person who spent time with him and he was afraid of losing just his friendship. He mentioned himself in the beginning of the movie, before his mother left the house that he had separation anxiety. Assumptions, assumptions. The kid seemed very impressionable too.

That's what bigots do.

Again, I could care less about the conclusion on this subject matter; just thought that some points were interesting in the thread, but YOU are by far the biggest d-bag here.
Calling everyone names before and after providing your own opinion is about the most definite proof that you are a complete moron, who is, in fact, the very definition of an intolerant, unintelligent and uncivilized bigot.
If you think that telling people who disagree with homosexuality not to reproduce makes you any better, you should really have a long moment with yourself, without the use of a lubed up hand and consider if your ego should be at the level it currently is. Bitch.
My real problem with that scene was how they stigmatized mental illness and just attributed it to being gay.
shareThe amount of stupidity on the internet never ceases to amaze me. People are gay and many of them find out before they are 14. Get. Over. It.
shareAll the kid needed to do was repent and accept Jesus Christ into his heart. Then he would no longer have those attractions and his d!ck would start getting hard for the opposite sex. Imagine what a prayer of repentance and acceptance will do!
Then again, it was NYC. Anybody not Catholic or Jewish there outside of blacks is a minority
It's so obvious it's a choice! Come on! ;)
I don't have anything against gays. It was just that they belittled mental illness and, in doing so, also insulted homosexuals. They acted like people who are gay develop anxiety problems as a result. They also implied that real mental illnesses don't exist.
