CINEMATIC DISAPPEARING ACT... 

 

     Well, here we go again. Two new “based on actual persons” film biographies are hitting the multiplexes, and in both cases the cocksucking (the based-on real-life cocksucking) has been completely expunged. 

     The real mathematician in Ron Howard’s “A Beautiful Mind” was, according to the biography upon which the screenplay was based, not only a communist (no audience sympathy there!) but spent at least a decade frolicking in the homosexual realm. TEN YEARS of being a fag just erased from the story so the Hollywood mainstay, “the love of a good woman”, could once again work it’s hackneyed magic. Methinks Ron Howard is a homophobe. A quick review of his credits makes it abundantly clear that no homosexuality exists in his world, and we should make sure that none of his projects ever receives the tainted dollars of our (to him apparently) invisible community. 

     The other film, “Pinero” based on the life and times of the author of “Short Eyes”, a New York Puerto Rican poet, also has expunged the queerness from Miguel Pinero’s life. Listen, I worked at the St’ Marks Baths, situated in the lower East Side, in the early eighties and as anyone who spent time in that area can attest, you couldn’t sneak into a backroom without tripping over that guy. He was GAY. But in the movie his great love is some female prostitute (I’ve been told by those in the know that it was actually a drag queen) and the fag factor is just shy of nil. I can’t help but think that had John Leguizamo played the part as originally intended, some suggestion of queer goings-on might’ve made it to the screen. However, it appears that Benjamin Bratt isn’t quite as secure about his manhood as the enormously talented “Mambomouth”. Pity. I thought he was alright. Why is the cocksucking nature of these characters being excised? I thought that we’d moved forward enough as a society that there would never again be a need for the likes of “Night and Day” (the totally fictionalized “straight” interpretation of the life of Cole Porter starring Cary Grant from 1946). What’s going on? Since when is homosexuality such an irrelevant component of someone’s life that it is summarily dismissed and some cunt is automatically substituted? Be afraid, my brothers, be very afraid.

     Now would be a good time for me to launch into one of my pet theories and in the process possibly explain why popular representations of actual people are routinely stripped of their true sexual identities. I believe that the omniscient “powers that be” are loath to have the general population made aware of the direct correlation between being queer and being a creative genius. I have concluded (in my own willy-nilly, unscientific, and biased study of humanity) that the reason that some men are born queer (I don’t know or care what the lesbian equivalent may be) is that they are representative of the highest pinnacle of their particular genetic strain (my apologies to my son). We are, in essence, supermen. A mere passing glance at the history of the various arts, shows a clear fact, homos rule. In literature, stage, design, music or any art you might care to examine, 90% of the most revered figures were (and are) cocksuckers (and now with “A Beautiful Mind”, I suppose even mathematics!!! Hahahaha!!!!). It’s very simple. We’re queer because any genetic next-stepping is dissolution, a watering down of the bloodline. Look at all the fags throughout history who’ve sired boys, has any one of them ever surpassed his father’s creative output? Oscar Wilde had sons, what did any of them ever contribute artistically to the world? That’s right boys, WE ARE SUPERIOR. From Michelangelo to Herman Melville to Elton John, civilization as we know it has been glorified and created by a vast litany of fruits and bumboys. If the straight world is threatened and unable to believe that creativity and cocksucking are inextricably entwined, at least we as a community should recognize and utilize our birthright. Don’t let society, the churches, even family, convince you that you are somehow less than a man. Understand that your queerness is a signal that you are the repository of everything good your genetic line can possibly produce and act on it. Now that’s GAY PRIDE.
