Please DU this poll

[Strathos]

The paper is asking if you agree with the decision to ban Brokeback Mountain from that theater in Utah.

I voted that I'm offended at the action.

Hope you'll help.

15. Done, however, gay bashers abound in Utah...

Homosexuality is a BIG AND UNFORGIVABLE sin to Mormans. I know, my best friend has a gay son whom she has told can either be straight or go to hell. There is NO wiggle room as far as she is concerned. Understand, her son is only 16 years old and lives under her roof and she has condemned him because he thinks he is gay. Needless to say, he doesn't talk about it anymore. What a sad way for a boy to live out the remainder of his childhood years under her roof. She hasn't spoken to me for six months because I had the audacity to suggest to her that the specific passage of the Bible that condmens the "soddomites" seems to me to be condemning them for the crime of RAPE and NOT the crime of sodomy and that her son deserves her love regardless of who he is attracted to.

18. It's his property and he can do with it as he sees fit.

Larry Miller owns owns Megaplex 17 theaters. Property rights trump personal bias any day of the week

It's pretty hypocritical of him to show movies like "Hostel" which is extremely graphic and violent which quite frankly is far more likely to damage society as a whole than Brokeback Mountain could every do in his mind.

36. EXCELLENT.

Personally, I think he can do whatever he wants, show the film or not. I can do what I want and that is NEVER step foot in his theater again, but for purposes of perception, i will give my first gut response of being offended.
