Pretty In Pink

There are two types of gay movies, straight/gay and gay/gay films. No, I'm not referring to ones in which the "actors" exchange bodily fluids, rather ones you can see at the local art-cimema. The former category would include such flicks as "The Birdcage" and "Victor-Victoria," gay films for a straight audience, making breeders think that they are in tune with alternative life styles. Queers are no longer exclusively the psycho killer or the laughable, wacky neighbor. We're here, we're queer, we're branching out, so get used to it. The latter catagory is for gay films which more realisticly reflect our varied lives. Movies such as "Desert Hearts," "Ma Vie En Rose" and "The Sum Of Us." Yes, the group is unique but it is also diverse, and Hollywood may finally be catching on. MAYBE.
