LGBT Civil Rights and Activism

First, the play is a story about an old man who switches souls and bodies with a young bride. So it's homosexual only if you believe the old man (in a woman's body) having sex with the husband is homosexuality. As its a comedy, there seems to be some question about them having sex, but also the body is female. Is it homosexuality?

That point, however, is moot. The real issue is this: the viewers had no problem at all with a romantic comedy with a ton of heterosexual content including pre-marital sex. Why is homosexual content considered "mature?" Why is it shocking and verboten? Gay teens are interested in each other--why shouldn't there be a play that has them in it, as normal and ordinary as a heterosexual couple?

The real issue here isn't whether the play has any homosexual content. The real issue is that homosexual content is being labeled as "R" rated, not suitable for "teens"--which is total bullsh*t. Either the whole range of sexual attraction from straight to bi to gay is objectionable and too mature for teens or none of it is. Just because one doesn't like homosexuality doesn't mean that it's a "mature" subject matter. That's both ridiculous and homophobic.

And it's long past time we stopped letting such people control the dialogue on this topic. We need to take control and make sure that whenever homosexual attraction is mentioned, it's seen as no bigger a deal than heterosexual attraction. Normal, boring, and, at best PG-13.
