  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I haven't nor am I intending to watch this crap. BUT, I read in the synopsis that one of the cowboys has a family and kids.

So, this means that this movie portrays a CORRECT message, which is that gay people are able to lead normal lives and have wives but choose to stray.

Well, if you watched the movie, instead of assuming you knew everything abut the message beforehand, you would know that your assessment is totally wrong. Both cowboys get married, have terrible marriages because they are being dishonest about their feelings, and they do this because of society's pressures to make such compromises. So instead of just ruining their own lives, they end up ruining other lives in the process. So it, in fact, sends the opposite message to what you supposed it did.

I know they had "bad" marriages. Thats not hte point. Point is they were able to have kids and live with their wives. Because they were unhappy is irrelevant.
