Entertain your family

Opening this week are two movies with major awards hopes: King Kong and Brokeback Mountain. One is about the volatile romantic relationship between a blonde female human and a giant black ape. The other is about the somewhat less volatile romantic relationship between two cowboys. One relationship falls apart and the hairy terrorist destroyed much of New York City. The other appears to just have a lot of unresolved issues. King Kong is widely anticipated as a family movie and Brokeback Mountain has so far been described as “controversial.” When you think about it, the general moral evaluation is a bit messed up here. How come bestiality can be considered family entertainment while homosexuality not? I should think that romance between same specie should be considers more moral than between different species.
