Christians shrug off Brokeback Mountain

| 1 Comment

Michael Medved has written a piece in USA Today discussing how disappointed the folks who brought us Brokeback Mountain are that the supposedly fanatical bloodthirsty Christian conservatives haven't reacted more violently to Hollywood's latest manifesto.

I had debated for some time writing a piece about Brokeback, the main hesitation being that I haven't seen the film, but have only been confronted with its advertising campaign, of which Medved makes mention. After reading Medved's piece, I am content to have said nothing, since it is apparently a sign of greater power and maturity on the part of orthodox and orthoprax Christians, that confronted with poisonous products like Brokeback, we can shrug it off rather than add to its publicity by voicing public outrage.

I suppose there are thoughtful posts out there but not the sort that blare out on the roof tops. Check out this good one for instance: http://thebookofshadow.blogspot.com/2006/02/blood-caf-and-whether-homosexuality-is.html
