Sign of the times: Star Wars needs gay characters

[Patriot Guard Rider]

The Darth Vader one is hilarious    

The homosexual lobby isn't looking for acceptance or tolerance, they're looking for legitimization.  I'll tolerate the behavior, accept it as a deviation from what is normal without morally judging it or judging the person, I'll stand up for your rights to be treated as a human being, and I'll kick someone's ass if you're getting bullied. But I won't subscribe to the lie that you want me to, which is to say that it's normal.  I, pretty much every society, and most religions, and my religion and nature itself has already determined what is normal and what it ideal.  A man and woman as the ideal relationship is as accepted and concrete as 2+2=4.  I won't accept the homosexual lobby telling me that 2+2=5, ie, that what they have is just as normal.  Even if you put a cage on my head with rats in it..........

After legitimization comes the legitimization of incest, NAMBLA, man marries goat, polygamy, etc. After all, if gays have it, why can't we?

Slippery slope indeed.

Gay rights wasn't meant as an end, it was meant as a door opener.

I fear for the world my grandkids will live in...

What else would satisfy your need for the entirety of human existence to revolve around your insecurities?

Unpossible.

Too confusing to make a gay the hero in a movie.  Gays (back in the day, anyway) and conservatives are always the villains in Hollywood movies. 

The Sissy Villain, as his name would suggest, is a man whose heart is as twisted as his wrist is limp.
Due to social stigmas against male femininity and "unmanliness", there's a strong tendency in fiction to assign effeminate traits to villains: flamboyant mannerisms, delicate voices, light builds, prissiness, femininely pretty looks, grandiloquent speeches, giggling, love for poetry and opera, impeccable fashion sense (not always in men's clothing), fondness for Persian cats, etc. Evil, it seems, is swishier than a silk skirt.

Characters of this type are extremely one-dimensional. Every aspect of them is geared towards advancing the views of the author. The presence of such characters is often jarring and sometimes offensive to people who actually hold the beliefs that are being misrepresented; in addition, strawmen are very ineffective tools to convert or convince people of opposing beliefs and tend to encourage Confirmation Bias. Their ability to always be right within the politics of their creator frequently makes them come off as extremely arrogant, condescending and unlikable. This is especially annoying when a normal member of the cast suddenly breaks the flow of the story to get on a soap box and deliver An Aesop.

I agree with the above.....and the reason I believe it's abnormal, without getting religion involved, as not everyone is a Christian..is the scientific proof that it's an evolutionary dead end.  boy + boy or girl + girl will never reproduce without the help of the other. Fact.

Definitely.  Although you could argue that monotheism sanctified marriage and the male female relationship based on what you said.  They took a scientific fact and made it morally good to honor that fact, and morally bad to, I guess, go against it.  And then they took it a few steps further, made raising kids with a mom and dad as morally good, ie the family.  The Torah is more about anything that messes with the concept of family, not just gheyness...... So I think everyone is on the same page religious or not if you're against accepting any other relationship or configuration of people as being the same as the standard male/female.

I don't think the gay lobby actually represents the homosexuals..... they're just another group of authoritarian aholes wanting to destroy the standard that keeps them from feeling fully legitimate.  They don't realize that a society can exist celebrating standards while also celebrating or at least not demonizing deviations from those standards.  So in other words, the gay lobby says:

Fagotry is a psychological compulsion.  Are we to accept beastiality, pedophilia and incest as normal? They all have therapy, why not treat queers the same?

Instead sympathizers of faggots and carpet munchers in state legislatures are going the opposite way and banning treatment to make cure fags of their illness.

This is as bad as when the news was reporting that Spock and Kirk were both gay because of something they had interpreted in the book version of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. There was never any indication of either of them being gay but They sure as Hell wanted it to be true.

     Anyone remember the DUmp around Brokeback Mountain time. HOLY JEEZ they were INSANE over the queer cowboys. Suddenly EVERY cowboy was, or should have been, queer. Totally amazing.

What's sad is more often than not gayness stems from sexual abuse at a young age and they want to make that acceptable too

[Movie buff- The Sequel]

All Hamill really said was that it's a matter of interpretation, fans can see what they want to see. The DUmmies of course used that to immediately turn him into a gay icon.

I think the most disgusting thing about that movie wasn't its promotion of homosexuality, but rather, its promotion of adultery. These two incredibly selfish men each have wives and children, yet neglect and ultimately abandon them in order to pursue their own pleasure.

Indeed. In their minds, the sickos who do that are just "Helping the children discover their sexual identities" or some crap like that.

Mark Hamill Reveals Luke Skywalker Might Be Gay In 'Star Wars'


If this turns out to be true, I am going to ugly cry! I often wonder what it was like for so many people to see Barack Obama elected on that beautiful night in November of 2008. If Star Wars does in fact take this step, then maybe, just maybe I might see a gay man as president one day too.

I assume the DUmmie means an openly gay president.

Gee. That's a long list of requirements to lead the free world:

Requirements to be President:

1) Must be a peter puffer

End of list.

Oh definitely.  Saw that & "Crash" with ex wife.  "Crash" was a better movie, and loved when it won Best Picture over Brokeback.

The DUmmies were very butt hurt by that outcome.

     It was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen on DU. Suddenly, every conservative was supposed to feel shamed by the notion that not all cowboys are heterosexual, and it was well nigh time that we evil reTHUGS were shown true love between menfolk out on the range.

     As if anyone gives a shit. I don't recall any of us saying, 'say, Ralph Wiggum, how's about PM'ing me your phone number, so's I can call you up and we can chat for a few hours about all the generations of cowboys prowling the West for centuries, none of whom were gay, no sir, not even one.' Not only do I not give a hang about GAY cowboys, I struggle to care about ANY cowboys, most particularly fictional ones from 50 years ago. Even so, somehow the whole mess was cathartic to DU. I think I recall one of them going so far as to say that it should be required viewing for high school kids.

     Imagine being the market research firm bringing in a test audience to see clips of the latest in the most iconic film series in American history, and having to hear: "I don't buy it. You're telling me NONE of those people are GAY?"

That's true.  Purely psychological, non religious treatment for people who want it.  Not only is it being outlawed, but it's being replaced by gay affirming therapy.  If nothing else, this whole thing is a liberty killer.  For the gay activist/lobbyist, anything that questions gayness must be removed.  I might have jacked this thread a bit, but to try to tie it back into the original post, all this, is the epitome of the left.  They take a cause, gay rights in this case, and go all authoritarian scorched Earth.

everybody knows that C3P0 is a raging queen

Absolutely. 

Another character the gay mafia wanted to mess around with was Darryl on The Walking Dead.  Since he's the current sex symbol and every woman's favorite, they wanted the producers to make him gay.  It would destroy an entire franchise overnight.

SO was at least one of the producers of 'Brokeback.'
She, in a ranting interview after the Oscars, derisively renamed the winning film "Trash," and claimed it was supposedly indicative of an ignorant far- right- wing bias among the Academy judges.
Yeah, because picking a film dealing with the complexities of race relations as Best Picture is totally something that an ultra- conservative radical would do. Idiot.

I had to look away when those fruits started kissing.  Blood spatter, zombie attacks and death were fine, but that was way WAY over the top.  I know a family that's related to the creator of the walking dead and they gave him a really rough time over that scene

They better not go there....I don't particularly find him a sex symbol but he's a bad ass and making him a queer will ruin that image.

Just think. He can sachet into battle, all the while telling the zombies that while they look FABULOUS, he has to kill them.

Millions would tune in to watch that.

I would be able to stomach that as long as doesn't start to develop feelings for Rick.

Now Rick is a sex symbol and just my type....
