"Homosexual lifestyle" is a euphemism used by polite people in order to not have to use the more obvious description of what is involved.

Get it?

" Hollywood is putting out crap, and it needs to acknowledge that fact and make corrections instead of relying on a ramped up marketing campaign and phony arguments."

Hard to do that when the well is dry.

"Throughout history the role of the artist has been to be the contrarian"

No it hasn't. That's a modern Western conceit propogated by Leftists to mask their true intentions.

The role of the artist, if we can even talk like that, is to draw the eye of the observer to a higher plane of thought, away from the mundane.

With the exception of the education establishment, there is no...

"A civil war is breaking out within the left of the Democratic Party pitting the Congressional Black Caucus against the first African president of America."

for those who market perversion to kids.

Hollywood films are mind numbing distractions from the reality of life. Calling them "art" is merely the self-congratulations of those who participate in them.

They've convinced themselves that they're important and now they want to convince us.
