I mean, it's just one of those things that some people find a reason to complain about, but it doesn't really mean much anymore.
Misguided souls like that have lost a lot of their power and their influence over other people these last few years.
They've become pathetic.
Like when Rock Hudson died, and then some people I knew told me that they would never watch any of his movies ever again.
And the first thing I thought was "why?"
Why would they change their opinion of Rock Hudson's acting ability simply because they had found out that he was gay.
If they liked him as an actor before they had heard that news, then why re-evaluate your opinion of an actor after the news came out.
It was just like that when I heard that Raymond Burr was gay -- after he had died -- it didn't change my opinion of him one damned bit, either.
I simply can't understand why some people let the fact that other people are gay bother them at all.
To me, it doesn't make any damned sense.
I'm a straight man, and I just can't fathom the amount of hate some people have for gay people.
It just boggles my mind to even think about just how much time, how much energy, and how much effort those people that don't like gay people have wasted in their lives hating gay people.
Talk about a wasted life!
I remember that one poignant scene from "Papillion", the movie that starred Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.
The scene where McQueen's character is having a dream of some sort about what happens to him after he dies, and he finds himself being judged by a panel of judges about how he spent his life.
And every single time one of the members on that panel of judges states the charge against him for wasting his life, McQueen's character says, "guilty", with no emotion whatsoever.
Like he is in shock that the sudden realization that he is absolutely, unequivocally guilty of wasting his entire life is undeniable, even to him; even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't!!
Sometimes I wonder if any of the people that hate gays have ever seen that movie.
Because they might be more introspective of their own behavior, if they did see that movie.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that most people that are not intelligent are not very introspective.
