I watch a film because of it,s plot not because of it sex scenes, if I want to see sex then I would rather just watch Porn.

(continued) Invisibility in the larger culture--cinematic or otherwise--is a way of saying some people matter and some don't. This is especially infuriating when it involves Hollywood because that is a culture where so many gay men are in positions of considerable power--the hypocrisy (and cowardice) is jaw-dropping. Producing films with lesbian love scenes that play directly to straight male fantasies while avoiding portrayals of gay love = Hollywood standing on the wrong side of history. Again

@ksigmtsu that scene was kinda hot lol...

@JOOGAL1111 I thought the scene from brokeback mountain was kinda hot...probably because you can't see anything, just sounds lol...

That lesbian scene was so lame. How do you have a "lesbian scene" and not show breasts? I've seen "straight" movies that show way more skin than that movie did. Very disappointed by that movie's "sex scene"

@jotunobsidianeyes Are you being serious right now? Did you even see the movie? There's an oral sex scene that I would not call "very brief" by any means. Mila Kunis goes down on Natalie Portman and they do the whole production for quite some time. It's probably the most graphic oral sex scene ever in mainstream film. What in the hell are you talking about?

Just kissing. Please.

Hollywood is too fake to handle something as real as the lives of gay,black and latino people in an honest way. Telling the truth about the humanity of other people beside white is not part of the Hollywood script.

Lesbian scene makes Ana uncomfortable... uncomfortable for her because of how much she realizes she likes it :)

[jotunobsidianeyes]

That lesbian scene was just them kissing *VERY BRIEFLY*. It was not lengthy! I wanted it to be. It wasn't!

@HarunDanyal How do you know what the majority wants? They have no problem with lesbian sex scenes, so obviously this is not based on "morally" religious grounds, and no problem with the only notable gay movies of the past decade: milk and brokeback mountian both HIGHLY praised. Avatar is the biggest grossing movie, if we only got what the majority of audiences wanted it would be an awful world in cinema.
