Your Movie Didn’t Bomb Because You’re Gay, It’s Because You’re a Jerk

Derek Hunter----Posted: Oct 04, 2022 12:01 AM

You’re a homophobe, now buy my product” is not the best sales pitch in the world, but when you’ve got nothing else you go with it because when you’re as dumb as a hammer, everything is a nail. That’s a confusing and convoluted opening sentence, but I wrote it on purpose to illustrate a point – leftists hate you AND desperately want your money and can’t come to terms with that. Return the first and deny the second, leaving them to continue to wrestle with the third.  More at Your Movie Didn’t Bomb Because You’re Gay, It’s Because You’re a Jerk (townhall.com)

THE LATEST FROM ETHICS ALARMS---THE FAILURE OF "BROS".......

The Failure Of “Bros”: Why Don’t Minorities Accept The Right Of Majorities To Feel Like They Do?

OCTOBER 4, 2022 / JACK MARSHALL

Gee, what a shocking development! Non-gay audiences haven’t flocked to see a romantic comedy that advertises itself like that.

I’m a movie fan. I have lots of gay friends, family members and associates: I worked in the theater for decades. I respect them all; I support their right to live and love and marry whomever they please; I want them to be treated like any other law-abiding Americans in all things, and regard discrimination and bias against them as despicable and unconscionable.

But I don’t enjoy watching gay sex and related activities, and I have every right to feel that way. I would no more pay, or take time out of my sock drawer duties, to see “Bros” than I would watch an NFL game, or attend a one-man show by Alec Baldwin. So sue me. But I think there are millions of Americans with similar tastes, and they span the generations.

Apparently the makers of “Bros” convinced themselves that non-gay (I will say “cis” when there is a loaded gun at my head and not before) Americans, who are, believe it or not, the majority would go to see a romantic comedy about gays because they have been told that they should, and are bigots if the don’t comply. Non-gay America replied, “Bite me!,” and good for them. MORE AT

The girls volleyball team at a Vermont high school has been banned from their locker room while officials investigate complaints about a transgender player, according to a local report.  One student-athlete claims she is facing harassment and bullying charges for complaining about being forced to change in front of a biological male.

“My mom wants me to do this interview to try to make a change,” the young girl told WCAX 3. “I feel like for stating my opinion — that I don’t want a biological man changing with me — that I should not have harassment charges or bullying charges. They should all be dropped.”  MORE FROM
