what’s the problem, honestly??

I just heard yesterday that people are protesting Walmart because they are selling the movie called ‘

Broke
Back
Mountain’.  I’m sure that most people have heard about this movie.  If not, it is about two gay guys who fall in love with each other.  Now I haven’t seen the movie but I heard a lot about it and according to my friends who have seen it, it really is a decent good movie.

            So why are people protesting Walmart?  I don’t understand this.  It’s a movie, and just because this movie is about gay guys, shouldn’t mean anything.  Being gay is a way of life, and by now, I think people should realize this and grow up about the issue. 

Walmart never force’s anyone to handle or deal with any product that they sell.  You can buy and look at whatever you want to.  So just because Walmart is selling this movie doesn’t mean that you have to go and buy it.  No one is even forcing any of these people to go near it.  If it bothers someone that much then you don’t even have to look at it.  I mean this is so ridicules. 

People really need to grow up.  I don’t see anyone protesting the selling of ‘Cruel Intentions’ they have to girls kissing in that movie.  Seriously, look at most movies out, ‘American Pie, 1, and 2’, ‘Scary Movie 1, 2, and 3’.  Most movies have sexual content in them, and can have people of the same sex engaging in this sort of content too.  If people are going to get that nit picky about

Broke
Back
Mountain, then they should be protesting all the other movies sold too.  Like I said before, no one is telling them to buy it; they have the choice to not even go near that section in the store.  So honestly, I think that this issue shouldn’t even be one, and people should realize that ‘being gay’ is a way of life for some people, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    [...] Cm12’s blog discussing the protest over Wal-Mart selling Broke Back Mountain was news to me.  I can’t believe that a Hollywood movie raised such controversy; these protesters are obviously a minority, but careful- they can still cause change. [...]

    I stumbled across your blog by clicking “next” in the top right corner! I have seen the movie, and will soon own the movie… I agree, I don’t know what’s the problem? I think that most are afraid of the unknown, people with closed minds scare me!
