		<description>Finally!  A post I can relate to!  ;)

I watched it.  I&#039;m not ashamed that I&#039;m basically madly in love with the character who is CLEARLY gay.

You have to keep in mind, though, that when these little tweenies hear &quot;gay&quot;, it&#039;s not necessarily that they think &quot;stupid&quot;.  Despite everything, a LOT of people still think gay=bad.  A lot of parents, I&#039;m sure, if the subject is brough up, say that it&#039;s sinful or whatever.  So someone suggesting that &quot;dreamy&quot; Zac Efron (ew, by the way) could be involved in something like that would put any teenybopper&#039;s panties into a twist.

Oh, and just because you know how I am.  When you say, &quot;A lot of the comments focus on the fact that the film is geared toward 12 and 13 year old girls who could care less about gay people&quot;, it should actually be that they COULDN&#039;T care less.

That&#039;s just one of things that gets under my skin.</description>
