Thread: I am sick of people saying Jack and Ennis are gay!

by knoxville322: I think they were gay but didn't really have a complete understanding of what gay actually was Very, very true!

Good point. I always think it's different for men anyway, because for men sex is entirely different from (and often even SEPARATE from) love. This means men like the feelings of pleasure, and it often doesn't matter where they're coming from. ------------ well YOU must be coming from Alice in Wonderland Sport. once one gets to say 16 [10 for gals] one works out that women are totally more cunning than men, and in fact that goes...

In terms of men who have sex with other men but refuse to go beyond sex; that's usually because they DON'T WANT TO get into the emotional side, rather than because they COULD NEVER feel that way for a man. They usually have an established heterosexual lifestyle and a stronger attraction to women so are terrified at the idea of a man compromising this. Not so terrified that they'll stop having sex with them though.... I could...

Well said Guy and Vitomia. Why So Serious? Formerly SHRL

Guy, yep, it made several assumptions about me - that I am gay (presumably male), cuddly, PC and am backed by millions by my government (presumably American). Truth is I just happen to love this movie and like to participate in discussions about it. This board seems to draw WAY more than it's share of trolls, even compared to other movies with gay characters. There are lots of other posters on the board, though, who are very insightful...

People keep trying to think that it's an either/or issue, and that a man is either gay or straight. It's rarely ever that simple. Healthy young men, if they have the right opportunities, will respond sexually to just about anything if the mood and circumstances are right. Like I keep saying, the Kinsey studies showed that only five percent of men are 100-percent gay, but only five percent are 100-percent straight either. The other 90...

Hi santa, and all, I've got into terrible arguments with gay friends on this subject. The crude definition of 'gay' is enjoying sex with ones own sex; that's fair enough I suppose, but love seems largely seperate from the act of sex, with sex being a physical 'icing on the cake'. I do think Jack was nearer to the broad definition of a gay man, so that when Ennis was not there for him physically, then he sought...

I'm a bisexual guy, so I don't think people are either gay or straight. But, seeing the characters, I really don't think either of them would have ever had a homosexual experience with any other men. They really were just two people who fell in love and it happened to be a homosexual romance. Didn't they even say at one point during the movie that they never felt attracted to men before? But after they found each other,...

There must have been some reason for him to agree to a relationship with her. Cassie wanted someone to rub her sore feet, and Ennis had nothing better to do at that moment. There is no real passion between them. It's a pretty one-way relationship. At some point Ennis simply stops returning her calls. For Ennis, sex with women appears to be a somewhat joyless social obligation.
