Current Mood: awake
So as some of you may already know, the movie Alexander is coming out in a couple of weeks (which I'm very excited about). Not surprisingly, there has been some debate over a questionable gay-sex scene in the movie, and whether or not it should be taken out. As usual, my favorite website, the the American Family Association, has written a story in regards to the movie.
 
Does "Historically Accurate" Mean Historically Right, Ask Pro-Family Activists
(AgapePress) – A new movie depicting the life of Alexander III, the king of Macedon, is set to hit theaters November 24, with much controversy surrounding the homosexual content of the film.
Baptist Coalition United (BCU) is outraged by the historical accuracy of the movie titled Alexander, which is directed by Oliver Stone. A BCU spokesperson said Tuesday, “this is clearly a ploy by the homosexual activists to force their unhealthy sexual practices onto the rest of society.” The BCU spokesperson added that the film should be completely reedited to exclude any references of Alexander the great’s ambiguous sexual orientation, and instead focus on his loving and traditional marriage with one woman—even if no such situation ever occurred.
BCU explained that this movie will damage American families—the bedrock institution of this fine, zealot infested country.
Jim Mathers, vice-president of the Historical Accuracy Abolishment Movement (HAAM) confirmed what he thought of the movie’s director, Stone, and his choice to “[dive] too deep into what actually happened in the past.” Mathers added, “we can’t just detail all the events that occurred yesterday, otherwise we are endangering our children of today, and creating a unimaginable tomorrow.” That tomorrow could be filled with acceptance, diversity, and historical appreciation, Mathers fears.
Mathers said this wouldn’t be an issue if Warner Bros., the production company for the movie, would just agree to let the American Family Association edit the movie. “I think if anyone truly knows history, it would be a group of pasty, white, bible-thumping ye-haws, who have no hidden agenda except to force Christianity down the throats of all Americans.”
 Rev. Jack Bigsby (that’s right, now we’re sourcing a random reverend) said this is an unacceptable way to raise America’s children. “If we let such deviance leak into mainstream America,” said Bigsby, “we are allowing Hollywood and historical truth to raise our children.” If historically accurate films, such as Alexander, are presented to the public in their entirety, Bigsby worries parents might eventually be forced to raise their children on their own, and not depend on their entier society to live in a way which caters to their every parenting need.
Bigsby veered off the topic at hand: “marriage is between a man, a women, and babies. We can’t allow activist homosexual, liberal judges to determine what marriage is or should be. We can only allow activist Christian fundamentalist judges and the gay hating citizens of America to make such important decisions.”
Although Mathers knows that Alexander will likely satisfy the majority of educated, intelligent, and sexually secure Americans, he remains confident that ignorant people, such as himself, will know better, and will fail to see Alexander for what it truly is: An accurate portrayal of homosexuality in ancient Rome and Greece. |
