Say what?! A recent New York Times interview cites Eminem admitting that he is for gay marriage. When asked: “You’ve been accused of writing gay-bashing lyrics in the past. Would you like to see gay marriage approved in Michigan, where you live?” And he replied: “I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.”
After what? The violence and aggression that he and his fans showed throughout the years? Are we looking for new audiences now? So, you think gay people should be killed but also have the right to marry? Queen, please!
I have been waiting for this movie for a long time. I am very familiar with Harvey Milk’s life and work. When rumors of this movie surfaced, I was both excited and anxious. I was afraid that in the hollywoodization of this film his life would be misrepresented and the issues not given the right treatment. I have to say that the movie does as much justice as can, considering the fact that it has to squeeze in a person’s life in approximately two hours.
