The gay marraige movement is having trouble reaching success partly because of crap like this.
You didn't see Martin Luther King Jr. directing a film called "Crazy Coons" featuring crude, big-lipped stereotypes eating fried chicken and watermelon in the '60s.

Posted: 5/19/09 at 12:27pmThat guy thought the trailer was "clever"? Seriously??!!! Perhaps he doesn't know what that word means.

And the fact he's using the Gypsy overture in the clip.
GREAT way to promote your OWN MUSICAL.
Here's the email I got this morning:
"Actually I wanted to let you know... that the Tshirt is given to people that are in treatment to turn straight. That is the idea of the shirt and the scene and the song."
So I replied:
"Which is what is so offensive about it. You really need to re-think the design.
Every person I've shown this to, gay, straight, whatever, say the same thing, it's offensive.
No one I know would wear this out in public.
Why don't you come up with a BIG GAY LOGO instead of looking like you are promoting those types of conversion camps?
There's NOTHING funny about your current design."

The FAG acronym was already used by Paker and Stone for TEAM AMERICA.
It wasn't funny then, either.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

I'm only offended that gay people, known for centuries (literally) for their artistic innovation and creativity would produce such a derivative, unoriginal film.
Replace "such a" with "yet another" and that's what I've been saying for years. Rarely is a gay independent film actually worth watching. I'm still confused by the celebratory hype over Latter Days.

MM,
I am with you on that.
Why is EVERY 'gay' movie so poorly done. I tried to watch some shorts recently and they were ALL about some young closted kid who had a crush on some other kid and nothing ever happened.
They are always cliche'.
Neal,
Thanks, but I've never even considered turning my back on someone who is printing FAGS on conversion t-shirts and selling them to promote their BIG GAY MUSICAL.

I have given up on American made gay movies. Foreign gay movies are much better.
I will reserve comment on the shirt and the trailer, which I don't find to be "clever" (OK so I commented!) until after I rent this movie. I already know I won't run to see this in the theater. And I have a sneaking feeling that one or both of the black characters is going to be a flaming queen. I hope I am wrong, but that usually happens. And that really ticks me off as a black gay male.

Posted: 5/20/09 at 3:49pmI would never wear that T-shirt. it looks cheap. I went to the "store" section and they only had the CD for sale.

They have a fan page on Facebook, have the logo posted, and there's not one comment for or against it. I noticed quite a few of my friends were fans of the show, so I sent them a message asking if they knew the people involved and what they thought of the t-shirt...
I'm waiting to hear back.

Posted: 5/20/09 at 4:05pmLike I said, I can't comment on the movie until I see it, but it already looks like a stereotypical gay film. It amazes me that in all of this time gay filmmakers have not moved on to make better movies. There are a few good ones, but for the most part thay are poorly made and or acted.
