Complaint about the current state of sexuality, with minor spoilers from The Other Boleyn Girl
I watched The Other Boleyn Girl (2008) the other day, and it was pretty bad, but that's not the point. At a certain point, you will recall, Anne Boleyn for various reasons tries to get her brother George secretly to father an heir on her, but he can't bring himself to go through with it.
In the film it's never stated openly, but there are perhaps intimations, as a tip of the hat to the historical record, that George Boleyn is gay. For one imdb trivia contributor this fact "explains why he [George Boleyn] was so afraid of sleeping with Anne, besides the fact of treachery and incest."
Incest is mentioned last. The true explanation [sic] is homosexuality.
I don't know if the rest of you find this as hilarious as I do; I also find it somewhat terrifying. These are the words of someone to whom every act of sexual distinction is a complete mystery, and orientation the only conceivable answer. Any moment I spend not sleeping with a girl, I am merely proving I am gay, even if that girl is my sister.
Enjoy your future, America. You chose it for yourself.
