Okay to be Gay?

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - – Film-makers can depict homosexuals for the first time in strictly censored Malaysia -- so long as they repent or even go straight in the end, an industry group said Monday.

Strict censorship rules in the mostly Muslim country means books and films are routinely banned or scenes deleted that are deemed detrimental to moral values or religious sensitivities.

The new censorship guidelines reverse a ban on scenes featuring homosexuality, Malaysian Film Producers' Association president Ahmad Puad Onah said. But there's a catch.

"We are now allowed to show these scenes," he told AFP. "As long as we portray good triumphing over evil and there is a lesson learnt in the film, such as from a gay (character) who turns into a (straight) man.

hey shall we also make Freddy Kruger turn into a pink and yellow butterfly in the end?
or how about make Ghost Rider turn into Knight Rider?
or a movie with Hitler finally winning for a change.
good over evil!

but wait, what about those serious hollywood type movies that revolve around a gay person? yeah!

shall we turn Truman Capote into a motherlicking pimp who 'repents' with 12 biatches?
or maybe turn Harvey Milk into a repenting politician who actually prefers to be corrupt and racist.
(which is waaaay better than being gay.)
or let's show Brokeback Mountain here and have one of the cowboys rubbing his bum and finally saying, "damn it. when i said gay, i meant HAPPY!!!"

because boys and girls, in case your mommy and daddy didn't tell you, you can catch gay. even from tv. so don't sit too close and don't say i didnt warn you.
