I think the "shoved down our throats" thing refers to how hard/often this movie is being pushed in the media - commercials, news, etc. It's an agenda - that's a fact. Hollywierd is going to do that - it can't be denied.
Let's say this much - I don't see any dating threads here on SL (and if I'm missing them, apologies) for straight folks, but I do see the SCION/___ threads which appear to be a bit much, IMHO for a car site.

I have (as stated) ___ friends and neighbors and the ___ ones are now flying their "rainbow" flags all over - I don't see straight folks doing anything similar, so why?

it takes place in Wyoming WOOT. and the scion/___ thread isnt a dating thread, if you have ever even glanced at it you would notice that. and as for the rainbow flags and what not, do you think being straight is exactlly a minority?
AND you arent supposed to have smilies in you sig

Early one morning in Signal, Wyoming, Ennis del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal) meet while lining up for employment with local rancher Joe Aguirre (Randy Quaid).

I didn't say it took place in Montana.
The "___" threads are pickup threads and virtual tease/foreplay threads - not needed here. - Neither are straight threads with the same tone.
Why does "being a minority" mean you have to fly a freakin' flag? Give me a break - that's the "shoving it in our face" thing. Why? It's to shove it in people's faces - period.

As for my smiles - it stays. Otherwise, I'll have some 17 year old tree-hugging PETA freak reporting me for animal abuse!

All in good fun, my friend.

Its the same as hanging an American Flag in your front yard. You are taking pride in being an American, but you are also shoving it down the throat of all the people who were born in other countries.

And considering there is 1 thread in all of ScionLife that the ___ owners are chatting in, I hardly feel people should be upset or threatened by it. And it's not a pick up thread by any means. We are all different ages and in different states and none of us have ever met. We are simply chatting with each other because it's the one thread where we can openly talk without having to worry about people bashing us.

So...you're assuming I'm Christian? Bad move. You assume that if I was I'd put a fuggin' fish on my car? Wrong again. And yes, I see that as shovin' it in other's faces too!
I'm from Montana - however this got started...

Well, as for the American flag - News Flash: we live in America! Good god.

They are both shoving it, IMO.
It's not a ___ thing, or a Christian thing - I feel the exact same way about "W" stickers, Green Peace stickers, etc.
I don't give a rat's ___ about "what" it is that you "are"
Why should I - I only judge on this criteria:
Are you an a$$hole or a cool person?

'Nuff said.

Just tuned in here, haven't seen the movie. But for pure drama, I think this thread might be more entertaining...

Guys,
Let's not get out of hand. The title of my thread is "who has seen it and what do you think" it's wasn't asking for people who don't know anything about the movie to come in and give their opinion on homosexuality.

So let's please get back on topic.

You can't even compare!
Debates are almost always better than the topic you're debating.
