WOW who would have ever seen this coming?

What next, a study that proves water is wet?

Homophobes need to let go of their hate and embrace their true selves.

Blue Velvet is probably my favorite movie, so I'm intrigued - but also a bit confused - why this particular picture is being used in your post on homophobia. :?

B9, do you think that that person was deliberately making an absurd argument? I have obsevered people doing that sometimes, as a sort of game to see if the person they are arguing with can tell that they are not arguing sincerely.

...Because I suspect that even most gay and pro-gay people would not argue that everyone should be bixsexual or else they are bigoted. That's a crazy argument.

And if anyone is going to misunderstand a "deliberately absurd" argument, it's us Aspies.

Shouldn't be too confusing. Watch the scene. What does he say?

Also, a lot of people think that Hooper's character has repressed homosexual tendencies. Would he be more sanguine if he felt he could act on them without being shamed?

I'm tilting in this direction as well. No sane person is going to call you a bigot purely because you're straight.

Yeah, okay: "You're like me!"
And to be sure, Frank had had obvious sexual interest in Jeffery. In the scene where Frank and his gang beat up Jeffery, it was supposed to end with Jeffery being raped - but I guess even David Lynch in the end had shied away from it. I thought, though, that the theatrical release had implied that he may have been sexually assaulted.

I never thought he was raped, but his behavior did seem kind of odd, kissing him and sending him a love letter, while demonstrating his manliness off his muscles.

I think it's more apparent when he interacts with Ben. He really likes the guy? Why? Because he's attracted to him. Then at the end of Ben doing his dance and song, Booth catches himself enjoying it too much, and he suddenly cuts him off.

Hehe, yeah. Most of my "observations" of that behavior involved me being on the receiving end of it (and figuring it out a year later).
