I guess the Bahamas don't need our money. It's kinda like with Oprah and the store that wouldn't serve her. Once this gets around people will stop wanting to go there. I ashamed of the Bahamas. :(

it seems they are anti gay

there was a thing on some tv show that was on in the background the other day with rosie odonnel in it. she and her family sponsor a gay family cruise a couple times a year.

last time they stopped in the bahamas, there were anti-gay protesters at the dock.

I think several Carribean countries are really anti-gay.

Wow....more common sense then animals? I though animals were homosexuals to. :p

What overreacting idiots, its not even explicit! That's like banning Queen because the singer was gay. Or star trek because just one cast member was gay (You know WHO).

Childish!

No comparison. The movie is a gay love stroy and thus promotes the gay life style. Star Trek had a cast member who was gay but the program did not promote homosexuality.

OH GOD IT GETS WORSE! The Bahamas have a hypocritical government to the very core! They should allow it because its perfectly fine to be gay!

How do you promote homosexuality? Please, tell me. I've been trying for quite some time to promote it, but it seems that straight people just cannot be turned gay by my hand. Can they by yours? Please, share.

Is all there is to "promoting homosexuality" showing homosexuals in a film? Is it that simple? Have I been trying too hard?

Well, first it starts off as private, but after enough frags, it earns enough experience to be promoted to sergeant, lieutenant, captain, colonel, mayor, general, and then marshall.

probably just not hard enough in the proper directions. there are 3 things that cause people, particularly crazy american fundies, to become gay.

1) seeing people not being ashamed about being gay. this is the weakest attack, but forms a staging ground for future assaults.

2) watching a movie that doesn't condemn gay people as abominations unto god. this is much more dangerous, because surely god would not allow such a movie to be made if it wasn't right and just. an estimated 5% of all fundie gay-casualties have resulted from the media exposure of the existence of such movies alone.

3) gay marriage. it's the nookular weapon of the gay attack on our traditional stupid fucking values. mere knowledge that someone somewhere has married a person of the same sex as themselves is often enough to cause good christian fundies to leave their obedient and fruitful wives, move to san fran or key west, and sign up to help run the next pride parade.
