Many people in the LGBTQ community do not view their sexuality as "alternative" or a "lifestyle". It is their IDENTITY their SEXUALITY. Pure and simple. No other words needed. I say this to you because I too was corrected of this wording.

I never saw the second chapter in the series for some strange reason, even though I grew up in the eighties. Seeing it with adult eyes and being gay myself I definitely saw the symbolic inner homosexual battle within oneself if you want to call it that or more precisely repression of self. This self-discovery theme of the movie made it far more interesting watch than the others Nightmare at least for me. Your take on this movie is spot in John! This is why I love your blog. You takes me back to the movies/shows I grew up with and love ...or missed as in the case with Freddy's Revenge and make me see them from new angles or perspectives. You make revisiting past pleasures into a new kind of fun! Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08595195150927539322noreply@blogger.com
