The Sean Penn film was awesome. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it. Also watch his passionate speech about gay rights when he accepted the Oscar for Best Actor.

My parents actually won't let me watch it because it's about a gay man. Talk about parental restrictions Angry

Download it and watch it, don't tell them.

Haha. Bad idea. If they find out somehow I'm screwed. But I read the link and got the point of it. I'll survive without seeing it. Smile

Throw in a little Elton John and Queen, too. I know it's hard to believe, but Elton John and Freddy Mercury... both gay. I know... shocking!

That's deplorable. Anyone can have a kid, but you need a license to have a dog.

I've occasionally used the Samuel Barber Adagio because its such a sublime piece of music, and has become "official" mourning music (played at FDR's funeral, played on the air only moments after JFK's assassination, performed at many memorial services after 9/11, etc.) and has often moves listeners to tears, even removed from that sort of context. Then, after hearing something that has moved them so much, I tell them "Oh, by the way, the man who wrote that was gay." Its amusing to see them trying to reconcile this emotional experience and this fact-- it really gets under their skin.
