I tend to become obsessively interested by movies on a certain topic. After my Indian period, followed by portrayals of interracial relationships, immigration, and contemporary religious societies, I am now focused on gay interest films. If you are ever interested by the topic, I can recommend my top selection:

- Brokeback Mountain - it's haunting, literally, narrates all the drama of being a homosexual in an alienated society; to the point of ruining your entire life; and so much more...

- Shelter - the absolute opposite of BB - an absolute celebration of being who you are

- Milk

- Billy Elliot

- Latter Days

These movies remind me how amazingly dirrefent people are; but the love we feel for each other is universal. It is never whom we love, but always how we love them that matters.
I actually think that we live in a time which is so fluid and flexible; it is easier to be curious and to explore your differences in ways which have never been acceptable before. If I want to get turned on, I would look at a woman's picture, rather than a man's. How much lesbian does apreciation of the beautiful curvy shapes of a woman make me? If I kiss a girl, how much is it a celebration of the intimacy of our friendship, and how much is it a desire for something more? The thing is, you can do it, and then explore your experience; and not think about it, and never do it. That's the time we live in, and what's good about it.
