Oddity

Journalist/author Rachel Abramowitz recently drew attention to an oddity about Hollywood. She wrote: “I don’t know what has happened to Hollywood recently, but established cinematic couples---of the male-female kind---are practically a rarity these days. Yes, Hollywood is loaded with bromance: Brad Pitt and George Clooney, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and the entire Judd Apatow ‘oeuvre.’ Yet heterosexual romance seems to be a dying breed."¹

It’s no big secret that heterophobic homosexuals have been a power in Hollywood for many years, though it’s only relatively recently that they have come out of their closets. For example, according to well-known movie critic Roger Ebert: “Gays were everywhere in the movies, right from the beginning."² Ebert again: “Hollywood [in the 1930s] was filled with homosexuals who stayed adamantly in the closet."³ And Betsy Streisand (not to be confused with Barbra), a few years ago drew attention to “Hollywood’s huge gay community” in U.S. News & World Report magazine.⁴

Don’t be surprised if Hollywood’s heterophobic homosexuals are behind this phenomenon noted by Abramowitz to downplay heterosexual romance in the movies and play up “bromance.” They would like nothing more than to psychologically manipulate people away from male/female relationships and toward same-sex relationships.

Parents could use this information to impart or reinforce a valuable lesson to their children about insidious mass psychological manipulation by the liberal media. Lest we forget.
