Just when I thought the gay rights movement was improving, here comes another offensive mockery of our lifestyle. With Adam Sandler and Kevin James no less:

Posted: 12/27/06 at 10:05pmWell heterosexual white men are of course an oppressed minority. It only figures that they would pretend to be gay to take advantage of all the incredible advantages we have!

Posted: 12/28/06 at 9:15amSo far casting seems inspired. Nick Turturro as "Tony", Candace Kita and Jaime Chung as Asian Girls #1 & #3, respectively.

Wow, stereotyping sure is fun!
This is one of those moments where I'm proud to be living in America.

So let me get this, um, STRAIGHT...two heteros want domestic partner benefits?? This strikes me as a total slap in the face to the same-sex marriage movement.
And somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most (if not all) "domestic partnership" laws apply to any two people living together, not necessarily in a sexual relationship?

Three's Company was back in the day when "gay" was funny simply for it's own sake...think of it along the same lines as Milton Berle in drag. It's not offensive, it's just of its time.
It's now (nearly) 2007, and the gay-marriage movement is stronger than ever. In this context, YES, this new movie seems extremely mocking and pointless.
...not that any Adam Sandler movie isn't, mind you.

I wonder if this is true or not.
"Gossip columnist Janet Charlton is reporting that actor Ving Rhames was unwilling to kiss another man on the set of Adam Sandler's new film "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry," which centers on firemen who pretend they're gay to get health benefits. Writes Charlton: “Rhames plays a macho fireman of indeterminate sexual preference, and his character was supposed to give a big kiss to another guy. But Ving could NOT bring himself to do it. Kissing a guy freaked him out. Producers solved the problem by grabbing an extra - a tallish girl with short hair - and they dressed her up in men's clothes. Ving was perfectly happy to kiss the girl in drag - and the girl was thrilled because the bigger role meant she got her SAG card.”

He can't kiss a man but he can play a big ole nelly drag queen in Holiday Heart?
And Um, I am sure there will be TONS offensive about it when the movie is produced. The concept is ridiculous anyway because domestic partnership does not require a romantic relationship.
And I have my principals!

Sounds like it would be a pro-gay film with those writers. Adam Sandler has always seemed to be very pro-gay as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the film makes a very good point about the issue by turning it upside down in this comical way.
But, it could also backfire--isn't some of the anti-gay argument, the BS point that two straight men could marry just for the benefits? Which is BS as there are many hetero couples who marry for exactly the same reason.
