One Gay Supporter for Bruno

A very well written article by Joe Mirabella, who is gay and supports Bruno, points out the important issues that are brought to light by the movie.

And finally, GLAAD is ignoring the amazing conversations that Bruno created.  The water cooler discussions are not jokes about gay parents as GLAAD said it would be, but rather a discussion of the violence Bruno experienced at the end of the film during the cage fight.  People are talking about the Christian trying to “cure” Bruno of his homosexuality.  People are talking about celebrity and the desperate lengths people will go to achieve it. People are talking about Paula Abdule sitting on the back of a Mexican.

Obviously Joe is not the only gay supporter for Bruno. It is just that he’s much more well written and vocal about movie. Enjoy the article to get different views of a controversial movie that has potential to attain cult status.

Bruno Spoilers – 4 of 5 Stars Rating

Funny man – Sacha Baron Cohen does it again with Bruno the Movie featuring gross, outrageous, and funny comedy with over the top representations of homophobia and gay culture.

Yes, everything is staged to a certain point where Bruno pushes the buttons of unsuspecting participants until their inner hate and ignorance takes over. All of this is captured on film at the expense of participating village idiots.

If you have ever watched a Vivid video, read a Hustler magazine, tuned in to Jerry Springer, paid attention to the local news, or enjoyed Jesus Camp (the 2006 documentary), then Bruno is a movie where nothing is out of the ordinary.
