"South Florida. You are an SJB fan and quite active on BroadwayWorld.com, but you're absolutely repulsed by the visuals of two men being intimate? Jesus Christ.

Are you, by any chance, a self-loathing closeted homosexual?"

I never used the words "repulsed", or the the phrase "absolutely repulsed". Am I a self loathing homosexual? I don't think so, but if people wish to think of me that way, I don't really care. Many friends and family and customers think I might be for the simple reason that I love musical theater. It's kind of strange I'm sure there are other people in here who experience the same judgement. I can see how my comment in this thread is considered "douchy?"

Well, all subtleties aside, you are acting in quite a homophobic manner with some of your remarks; showing clear disgust for homoerotic intimacy. You have done this before, but you're on BroadwayWorld.com. What else can you expect coming onto here? No need to voice such strong displeasure. Could be misinterpreted by some.

Yeah, I've been accused of being a homophobe and a closeted gay man. I don't mind the latter but the first one has me bumming a bit.

I mean.... Just look at the harsh visceral reactions you've had on this very message board about homoerotic intimacy.... I don't need to accuse you. Your posts say enough.

"the first one has me bumming a bit"

Well, if you were bumming a bit, that would prove the latter, no?

I'm tired of sex scenes heterosexual or homosexual, in general. I just find them cheap.

Can you expand on that thought, please? "Cheap" in what way?

Not to be prude, but in my opinion, it's very overdone to death and it's just an excuse to have nudity in a show.

Not really Hate, because a closeted gay person would be an OK moniker with me, but homophobia is the province of the simple minded. I like to think I'm not simple minded. It's kind of crazy. When I start telling people about how much I love "Fun Home", and then I show them a song, or ask them to listen to a song, when I preface it with "This is a little girl seeing a butch woman for the first time in her life", or "this is the last conversation this woman had with her recently outed father". People assume I'm gay. That dosen't bother me, but having you guys think I'm a homophobe does. I hope I'm not. Also, the only thing I said was I don't want to watch guys having sex. I am hoping the only thing interpreted from that was I wouldn't enjoy watching gay porn.

Would you not agree, though, that sex is a huge part of life for many human beings and can play an even larger role in the dynamics of a relationship? If anything, the portrayal of sex - and the more graphic portrayals in certain cases - is much more realistic in today's medium of television and movies than ever before.

Heh, I was just playing on the word "bumming." I didn't even realize I was gay until I visited London and a cute guy asked me if he could bum a fag... so I let him.

Liza, I do highly agree that sex is normal! :) Sex is, of course, fine, but I'm just tired of it, being it on all of the shows I've been.

George can rebut that better than me:
