Oh man,...I was hoping no one would draw me into this discussion; but man you gone and done it now! ("Just when I thought I was out of it....they pull me right in!" Heh! Heh! quote-unquote: Al Pacino in Godfather!)...
...and to think I mistook your praise about 'Etu Mama Tambien' for it's shocking 'coming of age' story; but guess you probably enjoyed and were referring more towards the 'grand' finale of the two lead actors (read 'guys') making out in the end, right?...
Sorry bro no pun intended, but you gotta second thing coming if you think you can start dropping mentions to people that gay acceptance has anything to do with education...[and on that note: while I have no problem somebody saying they have a certain belief; I take HUGE exception to being called having an educated 'mental illness'...! Mental illness?...Heh! Heh! That's right, maybe I really need to start hanging out at the gay clubs with their mentally sane patrons to cure me of my 'illness', right!?!
What a concept, now I wonder why did I not think of that before!?!

What was it that you trying to do anyways?...be the official spokesperson/Public relations guy for the Archbishop and the gayChurch now? (Come here son,"le m take you nearer to God!")
...[unless wait, you don't have a clue at all as to what is it I am talking about... did that news pass you by while you were 'studying' toooooo hard???
]
Anyways, don't take this personally, Dude...I am just trying to expand on my 'ignorance' here you see...Why, where I come from they KNOW that even animals will not do the un-natural act, but then hey, who am I to tell you who you can be with next time you start getting the feel/urge of being 'educated' Amit!
......
[But O Holy Educated father...just leave me in my ignorance bliss please???...

...and BTW as to the 'Superman' thingy; Heh! Heh!
, Darlin' you can call me whatever your wildest 'educated' dreams tells you to....(Just kidding, buddy!... Read everything above as 'Juuuuust Kiddinggggg!'
each to his own, It's all Cool...really!)
Are you talking to me, are you talking to me, well there is noone else you must be talking to me (Robert Deniro Taxi Driver)
Didnt know you will take it to the heart, didnt expect a homophobic superman to be so sensitive, kilki@darling and rolling eyes action.
You did get me quite wrong and took it to extreme, I personally think that more educated a person is more open and less discriminatory or phobic of other people a person will be. Homophobia is not the issue here, openness is, and for me openness doesnt stop anywhere, be it race, gender, colour, caste, sexual orientation, financial background, ideology, or anything. I feel sick of being judgemental on the basis of that, at times like you and everyone else I make such mistakes to in maintaining my openness and might say or do something that might be considered discriminatory but I never shy away from admitting it and then correcting it.
Going to gay bars and hanging out with gays to cure homophobia will be as stupid action as to marry a person of other colour just to prove that one is not racist. Just being open and giving equal respect to everyone will certainly cure any of such mental illness.
What I found awkward was that you could not watch a movie just because of its content and you seemed to have simply ignored it and started to judge me on the basis of this simple suggestion. Thankfully, the movie in question related to homophobia, had it been Lolita then damn man you would have blasted me off and thought of me as a peodophile on loose.
I could not help myself writing this because I do believe in spreading awareness against discrimination. And yes you can call me a PR person or Archbishop of Gay church, but please do not stop there I also do PR and priesthood for all kinds of minorities be it coloured ones, poor ones, females, Hindus of lower castes, religious minorities. And most importantly I cannot stand close-mindedness and conservatism, I have put another example of how dangerous close-mindedness can be in a separtae thread "Lest we forget" you might wanna read it.
And did the guys in Y Tu Mama Tambien really make out at the end? I thought they had just kissed as the woman wanted them to patch up, may be either I missed it or you saw more between the lines than I could. And the thing that impressed me the most in that movie wasnt so trivial (I am past the age when I used to get thrills from seeing nudity or people kissin in movies), rather this movie has a very strong political and Mexican history plot going on, the movie is actually about coming of age of Mexico and the kids are just a metaphor. Try watching it again and notice their names and the places they go to, and especially where the girl comes from (especially after a little read of mexican history) to make it easy for you well guys represent the natives and immigrants and the girl represents Spain ( think of the reason why she was unhappy and older than them). I guess I am sounding like the PR person for the movie now

But I am sure this will make others see this movie.
And dude please do take it personaly as you got me and my intention wrong I was just suggesting a bit of openness and in this post I aint kidding at all, and its all really cool. Just think of this thing our Jat society is anyways so conservative and narrow minded, so what will happen if educated ones also start displaying narrow mindedness or conservatism about things that really should not matter.
P.S. Watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" reading the book will be even better and you will know where I am coming from
