I didn't see "Making Love" until after I saw "My Beautiful Laundrette" and "Maurice."<br /><br />I also think that there could be more of a balance. I don't want to lose the sexiness or the camp aspects of gay life, but there are so many other aspects that aren't fully explored, but are getting explored more. "Big Eden" is a great example, and the UK continues to put out interesting material as well.hscfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248588351369527519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-49535846621991839902010-07-11T17:16:51.158-07:002010-07-11T17:16:51.158-07:00What a film!

It touched on so many issues, but showing a romantic gay relationship really was important. <br /><br />"Making Love" with Michael Ontkean, Harry Hamlin, and Kate Jackson was another wonderful gay themed movie from back then. <br /><br />Both films portayed gay men in life, and not etrnally at some celluloid gay bar - how refreshing. <br /><br />We need more healthy representations of homosexual relationships in the media to stand down the fear mongerers, DOMA supporters, and replace prejudicial images.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
