This is a notion that has forever confounded me. Can we say cognitive dissonance poster child.

Well, I'm being very ironic and sarcastic above.

More seriously: By his own admission, Moore struggled into his late 20s with accepting his homosexuality, even as he slept around a fair amount. He used the Rosie O'Donnell show as therapy (IMHO), but then didn't really come out of the closet because he still was wedded to what I call the "white picket fence fantasy." That's the fantasy many newly-uncloseted, conservative gay men have of wanting what heterosexual married couples have (spouse, 2.5 children, two-car garage, detached suburban home with lawn and white picket fence). Moore got a job with Walden Media because a) he was handsome, b) he was conservative, and c) he wasn't openly gay at work. Yes, he was also qualified (but this is a story about Perry Moore the man rather than Perry Moore the producer).

When the first Narnia movie came out in 2005, the Washington Times called Moore a "radical gay activist." I found that endlessly funny ( ... )

I definitely stand in very scathing judgment over the drug addict dies of overdose factor.

I think I mentioned before that in my early life I entered a Catholic Religious order. There I saw plenty of right wing fagots. Perhaps it was there that my vehement hatred of same was spawned.

What you said about white picket fence fantasy was interesting. I always saw the desire for children as profoundly narcissistic. But I definitely feel that stable long term intimate relationships are the most satisfying.

Being gay meant that meant that I had to purge every aspect of the conservative mindset. This was the only way there could be any level of authenticity. If you are not authentic you are nothing.

Look at your captions...interesting. I watched the first Narnia film in Manchester in a new year's eve. That film was flat. I regreted because in
Manchester the second gayest city I can do something more exciting.

Those captions are meant to be ironic. He wasn't radical, but he was an addict and he was a bad author (IMHO).

He's cute, though. Makes up for a lot of stuff (though not the drugs and DEFINITELY not the bad writing...)

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
