Anderson123 38,415 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 To be honest, I don't really care about that. As long as the movie is good I don't mind if it's LGBT or not. I'm getting a little bit tired of comments like "But there isn't a single LGBT/black/asian character in this film!! We must sabotage it!" every year.

No politics, no '' woe is me am gay '', no AIDS, no Trump, no gay history, no nazis, no SJWs, no feminism, just some good old sword fighting, magic shooting, fire breathing fantasy + GAY. Will never happen though. if only renly baratheon survived https://goo.gl/xMgMvJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 21,113 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Well, if your only reference for LGBT movies is Brokeback Mountain, sure you must think that LGBT roles are only given to white straight cis actors. But there are so many movies and series made with LGBT actors and directors, it's not even hard to find. The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic!

Electric Mary 1,051 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I just want a GAY movie with a good production where the characters dont die in the end , or leave, etc, is that too much to ask? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethrb101 4,523 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 As a big fan of CMBYN (the book and movie), I think it's a pretty decent step forward. It's not "creepy" in any way, and people that say it is reek of not actually knowing the story or characters. I could see it being too slow for some, but I personally enjoyed both mediums of the story very much. We definitely still have work to do, though.

just another gay 836 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 On March 4, 2018 at 7:55 PM, The Surrealist said: I'm actually kinda over having any kind of romance in movies, doesn't matter if it's heterosexual or homosexual. Just make a movie without a romantic interest for once. It's so boring. The protagonist always has to get the boy/girl in the end. Yawn. I want to see some independent strong women and men in movies. Moana! lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FentyGa 14,340 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I don't get why people need LGBT+ actors to play LGBT+ roles They're actors They're paying a role who they are isn't important Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scallywally 626 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Why do we need an all gay film, our lives arent all gay?? Actors playing gay actors happens all the time. If we complain about the odd straight guy playing gay that narrows down gay actors jobs playing straight (which have very few options). Maybe I dont understand the OP. Movies include acting, you can act like a tree or a jedi master. Its not reality TV, that would be offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeka 12,372 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm tired of trying to find homosexual media. It's not the only level or thing I connect with to with a character. I can connect with a heterosexual male as much as a gay one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

babs 5,093 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thank you! Don't get me wrong, I love that LGBT movies are getting more acceptance in society, but at a lot of times I fail to relate so much because it's so noticeable (at least by my gay experience) that there's something missing in the portrayal. And it's also pretty unfair how there are SO many LGBT actors out there struggling to get a job but they won't get hired, but Hollywood will make millions with our stories. I try to not think about it much because I can't be bitter all the time but it does bother me. We still have a long way to go.

Adakam 2 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 As long as the subject, topics and portrayals are done accurately and respectfuly I dont see a problem with straight actors playing gay characters. If anything it helps removing certain stigmas. Brokeback Mountain, for examplrle, did a pretty good job of representing what it wanted to do, 2 guys in very hard circumstances, in very closeminded societies and ways of life, finding the truth about themselves and each other. In my book, thats a success for the lgbt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
