If provided a third option, such as "It's up to the artists to decide whether to include them, and up to consumers to decide what they'll watch," or even a rephrasing of the single question to, for instance, "Should the makers of kids & family movies have the freedom to include gay characters," I could have participated. But what Conspirologist presents is what Marisa Tomei so eloquently described in My Cousin Vinny as a bullshit question, and being forced into an invalid metric by someone with an axe to grind is something I - even, and especially, as a gay man - must reject.

Thank you for that doghouse. I am in such agreement with you that I am now having doubts about my contributions to this thread - heartfelt as they have been. In fact, I am wondering if I should even have participated in the vote. You're a good man, and your thoughtful contribution to this thread is much appreciated.
Here is a trailer for the outstanding, heartbreaking and shockingly illuminating Showtime documentary L WORD MISSISSIPPI: HATE THE SIN. I watched this doccie last week and it made me so sad I thought my heart was breaking. But it also made me really angry and my blood was boiling by the end of it. So I guess I let some of that anger out on this thread. I hope my reaction/explanation makes some type of sense to you. My heart has always got in the way of my head, but it is a good heart and as I have got older - while I have also tempered my emotions to a degree - I have learned to trust it (or at least to understand it).

And here is the late, great Levon Helm with a song for you doghouse.
