This is a gay site with posts authored by gay writers. There was no offense intended here. It's no different than using the term "queen" between gay men or...wait.."queer"??? What I find particulary offensive is you drawing a line around the "trans community". We are all on the same team and we all fall under the same umbrella. We are all apart of the same Community.

That is a word that has been used against transfolks of all stripes. You are not in the trans community, you do not get to reclaim it. Excellent article but your usage of “tranny” is quite offensive.

After seeing it in Westwood I agree that being able to see such a powerful film about gays is one of those luxuries that we ex-Fresnans don't for granted now that we live in larger cities. The audience during my viewing was very mixed but seemed to enjoy the film. On that note, it really is an amazing film. Who knew that an attempted suicide scene involving a sleeping bag could be so funny? And Nicholas Hoult is the definition of hotness. Bring on the stalkers!
