The LGBTQIA-community

[ed2962]

Is anyone planning on seeing Professor Marston and the Wonder Women? It's pretty cool as far as LGBTQ+-ness and non-monogamous relationships goes. The lead actor is openly gay and three of the lead characters are in a poly-amorous relationship that, according to some reviews, is not sensationalized, or treated as titillating. And, of course, all three were responsible for the creation of Wonder Woman.

I'm going to matinee it, because I'm broke, but I definitely want to give it a watch. I hope it will lead to more poly-amorous relationships depicted on screen.

I'll eventually see it.

This is the thing, i dont think Milo is a white nationalist, he sure is veil and childish but a white nationalist, nah.

Well, you are entitled to wrong opinions. I guess.

If that is true then we have something in common!

Please, elaborate.

Milo is a lot of things, but I'm fairly certain a man who marries a black man can't be considered a white nationalist.

Slave holders had sex with black slaves. I am sure some of them even developed feelings for them. That did not stop them for a second from doubting their supremacy.

A nazi is not a conservative. Conservatives in any country but the US would be very upset at you for saying so.

Actually, including the US. Why wouldn't US conservatives be opposed to being called Nazis?

Not at being called a Nazi. Upset at calling somebody like Milo a conservative. Please read more carefully.

What an awful, unfounded thing to say. And when did you switch from white nationalist to white supremacist? Both are bulls***, but to equate Milo marrying a black guy with slave-owners developing feelings with a slave... Well, it's just a really gross thing to say.

Ah, ok, my bad. Milo is a conservative though.

No he's not. He's a Nazi and white supremacist.

Why?
I was just proving your silly argument wrong.

I would hardly call this a place where drama is started lol As far as Luke goes, well, he's complicated. He was very open way back when he was in London, but then he retreated back into the closet when he started to appear in movies. ( Publicists and industry-like people probably suggested he do that to be more "marketable". To really sell it, I believe he ended up getting into a relationship with a woman) Then after that whole debacle he took a "my private life is my private life" stance, which I personally am not fond of, but I can understand why he may be that way. I think a few interviewers ask him what it's like to be a gay guy doing okay for himself in Hollywood movies, and he says that it's cool that he is able to be who he is and do what he does [acting]. He avoids saying gay at all, and publicists tell interviewers not to ask about him being gay, so there's also that.

Glass-closeted does seem appropriate, I suppose, but I have a problem with accepting that term in this case. Yeah, it does suck that he feels like he is not entitled to talk about dating or a significant other like straight people and other LGBTQ+ folks do, choosing to relegate that to his "private life". However, I'm assuming that he's open with his friends and family, living his life. Hopefully, one day he'll be comfortable being more open during interviews. Hopefully, he's not still trying to downplay his "gay-ness" in order to make it in Hollywood.

Obviously I have a lot of feelings about this lol

I have a lot of feelings about it too and we're mostly in agreement. I'll just point out that Luke's alleged relationship with a woman literally was his publicist, it couldn't have been more obviously a bearding situation. Also I read that at a recent press conference for the movie when the topic of sexuality came up he didn't mention his at all but he did make sure to refer to one of his female co-stars as "hot". So unfortunately he does still seem to be keeping his sexuality hidden.

I only know of this Milo person based on what others have said about him, but, with the way they speak about him, I would gather that if he had his way, his husband would also be his slave.

So, she was the publicist. I had heard that she was, but I thought I made that up, or something. Definitely a beard.
Did he really say that? That makes me really sad. I don't want to seem like I'm policing what he should say during interviews, but I do think he could stand to be a bit more open. Then again, it's not really my place to judge.

BTW, is that Iden Versio from Battlefront II in your avatar? Nice!

Yep. It's an awesome fanart of Dark side characters I saw on a Star Wars website. I can't wait to play Battlefront 2, the Beta was great.

What exactly is the difference?
