- you're kidding, what is so nice about seeing a lesbian as a
- ''deranged .. psycho-serial-killer prostitute''. lesbians and gay men
- are allways shown as abnormal deviants in movies; basic instinct,
- silence of the lambs; or swishy; prince of tides. sure, sit-coms
- are doing a decent job at portraying lesbians and gay men as ''normal'',
- but i wouldn't celebrate another movie being shown prime time on
- national tv that depicts a lesbian as a psychotic killer, it's just
- more fuel for the fundamentalist ass holes. why don't they make
- a movie about a serial killer minister/priest who is caught by
- a lesbian/gay cop? (hmmm, not a bad idea. funny how the mind
- works when you get a little excited.)
