What do you think of homosexual romance movies?

Guru

weather or not you are for homosexuality, do you like or dislike romance movies that are same sex? if you've never watched one before, why not?

personal opinion, every gay guy movie I've seen has pretty much had the exact same plot, but at least managed to be really funny. whereas all, except for one, lesbian movie I've seen have been too boring to watch all the way through.

I don't know, I've never seen any gay romance movies. As for why I haven't seen them, I don't go out of my way to search for and watch gay romance movies. Or romance movies in general. Not only are they usually boring, they are a big part of why so many people nowadays have a false idea of what love really is.

  I definitely agree on your last statement about them being a big part of people's false idea if live. though, it's always been that way through entertainment. people just had to read romance novels instead of watching it long ago. nothing new.

There should be more! there aren't that many and they're usually not that good because they're made with low budget. I wish they were more popular so movie makes could step up their game. I am gay and usually don't care about straight romantic movies because I don't identify and I don't know I just usually don't care much, so yeah I need more good gay movies.

So yeah basically I dislike gay romantic movies but because of the budget, not the gayness.

My favorite's Imagine Me and You. Have you seen it? it's really good. I loved it.

  the budget shouldn't make them bad though. the direction is what's important.

  Yeah but usually (not always) low budget = bad writers, bad actors, bad director, bad everything because you can't afford people who know what they're doing.

i'm happy that the industry makes movies that reflect modern relationships since about 1in5 people are not heterosexual it's time to accurately reflect the romantic relationships in society.

but like all movies whether i personally like them or not depends on how well the movie is written

  sorry not 1in5... it should be 1/5 which would be 1in20

  I don't think there could be any real statistic, since a lot of people hide their sexuality and you can't read in people mind, but surely 1 in 5 seemed too much.

  all statistics can have flaws but you can if you've taken a statistics course or understand the nature of it isn't about finding every single person but a large enough sample size to project on to a population at large within a relatively small margin of error... it's the same process used to gauge political interests. obviously they don't ask everyone. but they pick a spot that based on research best represents the population and large and then they project those numbers on the larger population
  
  statistics isn't an exact science but it is proven to be the best way to gauge things on a large scale since you can't ask everyone

  I know. I have read a very interesting book about the topic: www.amazon.com/.../ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2
  
  It explains statistic very clearly. Anyway, it isn't just about statistic actually analyzes a very small fraction of the population, it's that people will likely lie on questions about their sexuality, even in anonymity if they're irrationaly afraid that someone could know they're the person who gave that kind of answer. So, I don't think we will ever know the true.

  true but i don't think we can ignore them because of that. it just means you take it with a grain of salt. but what would you presume if people are potentially lying or are closeted? would that mean that potentially more than 1in20 are non-heterosexual? i kind of doubt people would lie that they are LGBT if they aren't

  Logic makes me things that gays and bi are much more than statistic say, of course. There is no reason for a person to say they're no heteros, if they are. But we cannot know the real numbers. So, it doesn't make sense to say they're 1 in 5 or 1 in 20, because we can't really be sure the numbers are reliable.

  haha... but the numbers would reliably say that it's at least 1in20 with a margin of error that may appear to be a number larger than 1in20... that is a fair argument.
  
  if statistics say 1in20 are non-heterosexual... and you argue that the number is inaccurate because some lie, some are closeted etc... then logic would say that the rate of LGBT is 1in20 or greater
  
  i don't see why you're arguing this. it's a fact. it's based on research and even with you poking holes in it (and i don't see why) my argument stands to reason that it's 1in20 or more.

  No, it's just that I don't find logic to say a specific numbers since it's much probably that a lot of people lie and so it's impossible for us to know the real number. To me, it's like when people argue about god sex, when they don't even know if god exist :D I didn't want to argue actually, it's just that the 1 in 5 that I had never heard about, made me curios.

  are you comparing the arguing of the existence of god with a science? a science that is taught in every major university? a science that has accurately determined the last 25 presidents? the science that doctors use to determine the efficacy of drugs, life expectancy? a science that has helped study the effects of cigarette smoking, dietary needs and issues? a mean a good statistician could literally predict your day your every action, emotion, decision based on a statistics.
  
  look i'm no proponent of statistics but to compare it to arguing the existence of god is a TALL order
  
  you may not like statistics but they are real, proven, and actually prove within a really reasonable margin of error human behavior and consequence

  You really misunderstood me. I didn't compare statistic with God, I say that we can't know the real number because we can't read mind. Statistic just state what people claim, it can't know if a person that says to be hetero, really is. And regarding statistic about so controversial topics like sexuality, the probability of lies is very high.

The only one that I've watched is called Imagine Me & You, which starred the actress who plays Cersei Lannister (is that the right spelling?). It was a good film.
