wow, i haven't been online and you had the most interesting concersations.... well, gareth, i can only agree with the others... my parents aren't religious, but i remember very well the moment when they first realized that i became a "sexual person"... you are not an innocent child anymore and then you come with that gay movie.... oh welll.... good luck anyway!!! Yeah, my parents are very fearful of me being gay. It's really getting on my nerves. Ever since I was a little kid, I was called a homosexual often in school, and my mom kept asking me if I was. I kept telling her no and no and no, because she doesn't understand that calling someone gay is just another common insult used by insecure people to try to derive everyone's inquisitive minds about who is homosexual to the accussed, and away from the accusser. Still, it's my dad that's trying to protect from homosexuality. My mom is disgusted by it, but one night we were on the topic and she said she'd love me no matter what sexuality I was. My father is a completely different topic. The only reason my mom doesn't want me to have the movie is because she thinks I can't understand it much yet (even if I think I do) and that I can have it when I'm older. My dad on the other hand doesn't want me to see it period because he said it will affect my mind and will encourage me to become a homosexual. It's very psychotic, but they were raised in a house like the one they're trying to give me. |

Okay. I just wanted to know how long your mom was sick. Maybe she was not used to not have her period. Of course I have no idea though.

I am going to jump in here as a parent with a 16 year old son and a 13 year old daughter. I took my daughter with me to see BBM in the theater and we now own the DVD. My son has not watched the movie but he is welcome to anytime he wants to. He hasn't watched it because he doesn't like romantic movies, they have to be action or comedies. Both my kids know that one of my best friends is gay and they have been around him their whole lives, so they are not phased by anyone being gay. We tend to be very open in our house.
That being said, your parents have their reasons for the way they feel and we need to respect that. You just need to keep expressing your opinions and hopefully they will come to respect how you feel. It is very difficult to change someone's mind about this topic. They are probably very uncomfortable with the thought of you thinking about anything sexually, let alone gay sex. Give them time.

In Italy, instead, the movie is PG14
So, I'm thirtheen too. But I'll be 14 on August.
I'm very sorry for you, because we have the same age, we are both mature, and I went to the cinema with my mother and my sister to see it...but my mother didn't have problems...
so, when it'll be available on dvd in Italy, I'll buy it and my mother wants to see it again...so...I haven't problems!! And my family is Catholic, too!!
For this reason, I'm very, very, sorry for you..
But you can't let your parents throw it away!! Talk with them and try to convince them!!
You can do it!! Believe me!!
You must do something!! You can't stand it!! I can't stand it!!
Please, try to convince them!!
We are mature to see cartoon, by now....we can and must see a beautiful film like BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
Good luck!!

Okay, now my opinion, I don't know whether this is wrong or right, maybe there is no wrong or right, but anyway:
To my mind, there is no maturity when you can watch this movie, like Kelley said before, you watch Disney movie and they are abou love, just like Brokeback Mountain. And I can't understand why people don't recognize that!
Well, with the catholic thing:
My mum is catholic too. When I said, I wanted to watch BBM in the cinema, my mum wanted to go with me. At first, I wasn't sure if this is a good idea. I thought, maybe she will be angry why I look at such movies and so on, I think some of you will know what I mean. But in the end it was the best thing I've done! She was totally impressed, and currently she thinks that this is one of the most beautiful lovestories she's ever seen. Of course I'll buy the movie when it is out in Austria. What my Dad will say at this, I don't know. He don't really likes gay themes, but now I'm optimisic because a few days ago we watched CAPOTE and he liked it. Well, of course it's not like BBM, but it's a beginning. And my mum sure will fight for me, if my Dad is angry with me. I'm so happy of my parents!!!
