187. The forest is just a bunch of trees.

Without them it would just be grass and dirt.

The whole point of the movie is the closet and the devastating effect it has on those forced to live in it. I don't think you could make a similar film about straights, whose loves are encouraged, celebrated, and even subsidized by the larger society. There is no straight closet.

It could not have "been the SAME story minus the gays." It would have been a different story entirely.

And if you don't think that homophobia is a "social issue" then you should try talking to some "gays" before dismissing our concerns out of hand.
