On the "Gay Genes Discovery" -- Movie Recommendation
---
The apparent discovery of a set of genes that correlate with homosexuality certainly has the gay world buzzing — see, for example, here, here and here.
Some are starting to ask the obvious ethical questions — especially regarding premarital testing ("Do I want to marry someone who might give me gay kids?") and prenatal testing ("My unborn baby is gay — do I want to keep it?").
The latter question was the topic of a fairly decent play and 1997 indy film titled "Twilight of the Golds," starring (subjective evaluations in parentheses):
--Brendan Frser (great)
--Jennifer Beals (awful)
--Faye Dunaway (very good)
--Garry Marshall (in a dramatic role?)
--Jon Tenney (okay)
--Sean O'Bryan (irrelevant but oh so cute)
with cameos from Rosie O'Donnell (surpringly good) and a very rare post-larynx-cancer appearance by Jack Klugman (awesome and far too short).
Not a movie for the ages, but worth a slot in your Netflix queue.
