July 8, 2008very powerful movie about a topic that most people are too scared to talk about.im straight and would say im not homophobic, but i still think that all heterosexuals have some slight homophobia in them.and its because we are afraid to talk about topics such as this.anyways great movie and an important movie, two outstanding lead performances as well.
