Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Got a problem with gay cowboys, huh?

Was shocked to see a theatre in Utah has pulled Brokeback Mountain from it's screening schedule (Utah Theatre Cancels Brokeback Mountain). While the manager reportedly declines to comment, other dickheads in Utah have opened their bigoty little traps.

Gayle Ruzicka, president of the conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said not showing the film set an example for the people of Utah.
"I just think (pulling the show) tells the young people especially that maybe there is something wrong with this show," she said.



I love how people use kids as a reason to hide behind their own narrowminded and petty lives.

I love how people see being a bigoted fuck as setting an example.

I love how to world is falling to shit at every little corner, yet there are still parts of the U.S. that are wasting energy and indignant righteousness wallowing in their little homophobic bubbles.

And all this after reading Ro's blog and finding out he's been dealing with anti-semitic critics who have issues with Tali being Jewish. Why can't ignorant people just shut their mouths and die already?
