Do a google search using "boycott end of spear". The stuff you find will astonish you - and sadden you. People won't see this because one of the actors is gay? I hope they don't watch <i>practically any other movie</i>, either. You're right on with the "can't we do better than this" comments and the "accepting tom/meg but not the dudes" comments. I'm actually just about to sit down and watch the "Beyond the Gates..." documentary tonight, which I've still not seen. I'm assuming it's safe and homosexual free... “they’ll know us by the t-shirts that we wear
they’ll know us by the way we point and stare
at anyone whose sin looks worse than ours
who cannot hide the scars of this curse that we all bare

they’ll know us by our picket lines and signs
they’ll know us by the pride we hide behind
like anyone on earth is living right
and isn’t that why Jesus died
not to make us think we’re right”
