If they are Christians, we should lovingly present the biblical truth to them in correction (2 Timothy 3:16). When we become friends with someone living a gay lifestyle, we should let them know about our beliefs but only after establishing trust with them. So how do we become culture-changing Christians? We engage with people as image-bearers of God, and we become “cultural missionaries,” fighting the temptation to become “cultural warriors.” With love, the same way we would at any other time.Įven while we don’t love sin, we love people. So, in response, how should we act as Christians? Movies are often a pulse on the culture’s heartbeat. We should expect nothing less from Hollywood and the world. Disney planned to remove the kiss, but in response to protests from their employees and the disparagingly named “ Don’t Say Gay” bill, Disney kept it in. As Christians, we can see that this reflects the normality and acceptance of homosexuality.
Hawthorne’s display of affection makes Buzz rethink his priorities, which makes the gay relationship relatively important to the plot. And if those adults are also Christians, they’re likely all asking the same question: Should I take my kids to see Lightyear? Lightyear’s gay-affirming scene Those who grew up with Woody and Buzz are now adults with their own children.
Buzz Lightyear (Chris Evans) spends much of the movie becoming friends with Alisha’s grandaughter through a time-distortion mishap. Lightyear will show one of the main characters, Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba), kissing another woman in greeting. The film looks stunning, but it’s making headlines for a different reason. The new documentary McQueen shows the highs, and the lows, of McQueen’s life.Lightyear, the new animated PG film from Disney Pixar releasing in theaters this weekend, is the movie that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy in the Toy Story movies. ( TIM BAROS) McQueen ★★★★★įashion designer Alexander McQueen was a genius He had an eye for fashion but was also a troubled soul. They seem to have it all, but yet there also seems to be something missing in their lives. They run their empire from their adobe house that has views to die for of the landscape which includes turquoise sunsets and rolling luscious mountains.
Brumble is a flamboyant TV chef and Paul is his producing partner, and they live in the stunningly beautiful town of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan (at his campiest best) play, respectively, Paul and Erasmus Brumble (what a name!), a gay couple who have been together long enough, perhaps too long, to be set in their argumentative ways. And possibly the only actual non-porn blowjob scene you’ll actually see on film. This documentary follows the stories of five men and their reflections and discoveries as they cross the ocean. Why is cruising (at sea) so popular with gay men. Not the type you’d encounter in the woods or a cottage, but at sea. REVIEW: TIM BAROSĪn intimate look at gay cruising. However it’s Conigrave’s book on which this film is based, it’s his book about his relationship with Caleo, a sort of love letter to him, and we’re all very lucky to be able to see what an amazing, yet heartbreaking, relationship it was. It’s a story that’s been told a few times ( Philadelphia), but not in such a meaningful, and very realistic, way. Credit goes to director Armfield and writer Murphy for successfully bringing this story to the screen. But it’s in the storytelling where this film excels.
Plus it’s a story that some of us, who were around in the 1980s and 1990s when friends and partners were dying right and left from AIDS, can, unfortunately, relate to.Ĭorr and Stott are terrific and give it their all (Anthony LaPaglia is especially good as Caleo’s stern and unforgiving father). It’s a movie that simply tells a story, a love story so enduring and epic that it’s irrelevant whether the characters are gay or straight. Holding the Man is one of the better, or perhaps maybe the best, of all the films that’s dealt with the AIDS crisis.
