    my point was how Brokeback mountain was hyped up and put way too much into the media, solely because of the gay relationship. I have no problem with the movie existing, nor would I have a problem with a gay relationship in a game, and if the game were good, I would get it. It's just that I feel if they put a gay relationship in an FF game, it would be pushed as a must have game and if you don't have it, you're homophobic, just like it was pushed that you must see Brokeback Mountain, or you are homophobic. I have no problem with the existence of these things, it's the fact that the media pushes it to try and make people more accepting. I accept it, I know gay people, some are my friends. But we all agree that it's pushed way too much when a general media has a homosexual relationship.

    So don't get me wrong. I'm fine with homosexuality, I'm not fine, that the media plays it up everytime it is present to try and get people to accept it. Let people live how they want, don't force things on them.

    And some people will never accept it. I don't agree with it at all. But I know it exists. I find nothing wrong with the relationships per-se, but it's the matter of family that gets me. It's a completely different issue. But I have straight cousins who are married, who aren't having any children. I am as opposed to that as homosexuality, because I believe the main purpose of marraige and life in general, is to reproduce and pass on your own knowledge and experiences, oh and the main purpose of sex is to reproduce, and homosexual sex, involves no reproduction, hence my problem with it.(and if you ask if I ever have sex for fun, no I'm a virgin and will stay that way until I'm in love and plan on having kids with someone... on another note, yes I have been asked to have sex so don't just say I've never had the chance or I would). That's my opinion, so yeah....

    Marriage and sex for reproduction is mostly a Christian view. I'd rather marry someone because I love them. There's another term for sexual intercourse called "making love" that doesn't necissarily equate to "making babies" :D I plan on marrying one day. Having kids however isn't a goal of mine. And I'm hetero, not that it should matter. I agree with pretty much everything Weaver ranted about, except it seemed a little extremist towards the end :P I realize you get discriminated daily, but you can relax here. Tons of other openly homosexuals here, tons of acceptance to go with it. Yay for liberals on that part. I also agree with JACK, Queer Eye and Will and Grace were so played up on network television, despite the fact that they weren't very good shows (in my opinion) based on quality of content, rather on content itself. I got bored of Will and Grace, not because I'm a homophobe, but because it just stopped being funny.

    Though I don't have cable TV anymore, so the media can't try to guilt me into doing things just to avoid critical judgement. I'm not a big fan of western film genre no matter what. Granted, I don't really want to see two guys kissing, but that has nothing to do with me not seeing the movie, as I could accept that if the film offered a premise I could enjoy. But I just don't enjoy westerns.

    If it was two guys, the game would fail, Square would go bankrupt, and Dragon Quest would rise again and rule the world. If it was two girls, Square would make triple profits that year, and if there was a sex scene profits would be so high that Square would recycle the idea until it was old.

    christian view eh, I'm far from any religion, so it's definitely not religion that gave me this view. I just think that to have a complete life, you need to create another one, plus that's how you're remembered...

    I mean, there was this thing with brokeback mountain, where someone reviewed the movie and said the actors were amazing, and played their part well, but he thought the movie was crap. He was immediately called homophobic and the GSA, or one of those organizations wanted him fired immediately. I can deal with homosexuality, but it's not the norm, so stop shoving it in my face.... that's all I have to say.

    So what about people who cant have kids? People with reproductive issues?

    You know who had a uncomplete life. Mother Theresa. She'll never be remembered either, cause she never had kids.

    What do you think the publics reaction would be If they made the main relationship in an upcoming Final Fantasy a homosexual one?
    Very amusing. I love watching people act like idiots. And I would buy it.
    I get people all the time who tell me they could care less if I'm gay, as long as I don't "flaunt it". Then they hold hands with their girlfriends, or talk about their marriage, or in some cases comment every other second on someone's "rack" or how hot Angelina Jolie is.

    So every day I get heterosexuality smeared all over my eyes and ears and nobody notices the irony when I make one mention of how a guy looks and they go "OH MY GOD YOU'RE GAY WE GET IT STOP BRINGING IT UP ALL THE TIME".
    THANK YOU!!! Seriously,I cannot stand hypocrites. I don't get this so much, but I know people who do.

    People watch Brokeback because it's gay... if it were a non-gay story, the straightest people ever would be the only people who watch it (since without gay, it's a dumb old western movie)

    I demand that you all stop talking about the merits of Brokeback Mountain until you actually watch the movie.

    I watch a LOT of movies, and I can honestly say that Brokeback Mountain was one of the most heartbreaking love stories I've ever seen on the silver screen. Gay or not.

    So it's mind-boggling to me when people claim that this movie is simply a "dumb old western movie" or that it was hyped up simply because of the gay relationship. To put it simply, Brokeback Mountain was a wonderful movie.

    If Squeenix made a wonderful game that involved a gay relationship, I would buy and enjoy the game.

    I have watched the movie and I am homophobic but regardless gay cowboys is not the thing most people want to watch. It was wierd how people expected that movie to win an oscar. It was horrible.
