Relax, Hollywood's still Gay
So Brokeback didn't win, and the gay blogs around the world are now bitching and screaming their heads off. ("Hollywood not ready for gays" proclaims the Los Angeles Times.)
Personally, I think it's all relative. If you're a gay, white, American male, then maybe yeah it's a pity, but if you're a gay, Asian Canadian, then wait a minute. Crash won and it's Canadian-directed and good, if a somewhat too feel-good movie about racism. And Ang Lee did win the Oscar's for directing, the first Asian to ever do so. And then there was that gay guy from Capote. I've GOT to see Capote. And Good Night and Good Luck. Which is also got gayish subtexts, if you've read The Advocate. So there's enough gayness to go around.
Certainly no need for a sissy fit, but then again, we're gay, so maybe a sissy fit is appropriate.
