<p dir="auto">I remember watching the documentary that was one of the special features of the double DVD release. In it was the recounting of the critical backlash the movie had from the LGBT community in regards to the supposed implication that Buffalo Bill was bisexual and transexual. I personally found the outcry and the accusations of homophobia ignorant and misinformed considering that the character was inspired by several serial killers, none of which where gay although did exhibit traits of the character. But even if the character had happened to be gay, so what? There's good and bad in all walks of life. True, there's no doubt homosexuality, bisexuality and transexuality has been been treated negatively in the past. However no one should automatically jump to conclusions and believe there's any ill intent to be made. Perhaps there was some political point scoring trying to be made here and if so it did certainly work because it was the controversy over this that led Jonathan Demme to direct<br />
Philadelphia<br />
. The first mainstream, major motion picture to deal not only with homosexuality but the preconceptions with it in regards to HIV and aids.</p>

<p dir="auto">There is no correlation between transgender people and violence, other than them being victims of sexual assault. If you ever actually ventured outside your basement and met one, you’d find them to be the most meek, effeminate people in existence. Please elaborate the last time any member of the LGBTQ community was a significant contributor of national violence?<br />

<p dir="auto">The film bent over backwards to say that Buffalo Bill wasn’t transgender but, of course, that didn’t stop the LGBTQ cult from screeching about it, so much so that Jonathan Demme made Philadelphia as an ‘apology’.<br />
Was he forgiven? Nope. They doubled down and criticised Philadelphia for not showing enough gay sex.<br />
That’s why you must never submit to these Leftist ‘queer’ activists. Never obey, never apologise.<br />
And now we have a correlation between transsexuals and violence, so our instinctive caution around these weirdos seems justified, and all of their complaints about negative portrayals sound like predators pissed off that they’ve been unmasked.</p>

<p dir="auto">The complaints were from a whinging minority and were unfounded in the context of the entire film.<br />
There was no representation of Buffalo Bill being a homosexual man, only that he was transexual and his pathology was a thousand times worse as Lecter expressed. He may have been gay, but this wasn't mentioned in the film, (haven't read the book), and since Trans is not an outright sexuality and has nothing to do with homosexual men who revel in their maleness and the male form of others, homophobia is far removed from these distorted claims.<br />
As for transphobia, serial killers come in all forms and that is just the representation here in a fictional story. And since Trans is a mental illness, this story just took it to the extreme side of the disorder spectrum.<br />
