I am not a homophobe but that's the truth for me.

isnt it better that he finished the movie AND was willing to watch a movie that could potentially make him uncomfortable?
How is it fair to say "why did you watch it then?" when hes only expressing his discomfort with the gayness of the movie.
if he knew there would be scenes that he would find uncomfortable, then its great he was still willing to give it a chance. If he didnt, and he watched it then hes allowed to feel uncomfortable.
its so lame when people act like people are being unreasonable when they have a negative opinion. This is a discussion website. People are allowed to express likes and dislikes. -

Instead of defending the OP, it would be better to suggest he reexamine his heterosexuality and latent homosexuality. This is hardly an unusual dichotomy. However, the fact that the film made him uncomfortable belies the pretension of being non-homophobic.

I hate to hear that but respect your feelings about it. I hope you were still able to take away some sense of inspiration from it. Movies like this are rare. Maybe there will be a time in the future where you can revisit it and not feel as uncomfortable.
Also remember, the lead actors in this movie are straight. -

Of course it made you feel uncomfortable. An obviously normal reaction that your supposed to deny because of political correctness.
We're suppose to respect the fact that gay people are just doing what comes natural to them, but your natural instinct to feel uncomfortable watching two men screwing each other is supposed to be suppressed. -

If that was in the movie I missed it. Will admit the kissing in bed scene did make me a bit squeamish though. For some reason I was fine when the kisses when they were upright though. At the same time, I knew what the movie was about before I started watching. Didn't see I had any right to complain. -

Spoken like a true homophobic, under-educated individual. It has nothing to do with political correctness. You yourself used the term "gay". The impolitic label would be "fag" or "queer". Don't be a hypocrite as well.

You said it well OP in your post, it's YOUR truth, but the tittle of your thread it's a wrong generalization.
I'm not gay and I found this film great and very moving.
Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language.
