male/male kiss others views.

I was on campus the other day and I was talking with this gay dude who was finishing his script for a playwright class. One of the professors friends was in class that day heard the script and asked if he minded if he made it into a short film for festivals. He asked me to read it and I thought it was really good, so he asked if I wanted to audition for a perticular roll, one which he said he's been having trouble casting. I told him to let me think about it considering I have never acted, I have been involved in two films before, but both times it was as a PA (production assistant.) There is one scene that requires the character he wanted me to audition for 'lightly kissing" another male character. I had no problem with this considering I have no attratcion to members of my sex and in my mind it would be like kissing a girl I was really unattracted to, which I have done due to truth or dare when I was younger. It didn't seem like a big deal to me, considering it is in the form of art, and I do not agree with censorship in anyway. Now my when my g/f read the script she freaked out so I told her I wouldn't do it, but I still think she is over reacting a little bit. Granted this is for a student film that will likely never even make it to a film festival and will simply go into reels for future projects... I'm just wondering what other views are on a m/m kiss on film.

I think if acting is something you want to pursue, then I see no problem with this. You're both actors so keep things professional. That's why they call it acting, it's not for real.

She is overeacting I think. This is your thing to act, so go and act.

This happens all the time in movies. Look at the actress Ellen, she is a lesbian but has been on TV kissing guys before. There are plenty of actors/actresses who do this.

I think your gf is homophobic.
I admire you for recognizing art for what it is.
I really dont like the fact that you fantasize that you are kissing a girl to get through the kiss with the guy. But, hey, thats my hang-up. I think you're right in doing the scene:thumbsup:
I am a straight male, i have kissed other straight males because i love them. Do we swap tongues? no.
its a kiss in friendship, and i am lucky to be on the recieving end of such wonderful friends, both male and female.
dont allow societies rules, or your gf point of view to make your decisions for you
dai*ma:stoned:

^^^Exactly.

I mean, it's a light kiss you're doing right? It's not like you're swapping spit with the guy.

brokeback mountain part 2

your going to be famous

Lol friendowl. Girls always over react. Get used to it I guess.

i think that sounds totally cool, when you're acting it doesn't matter who or what you are kissing anyways, its just an ACT. thats what ur gf obviously doesnt understand. she should just be glad you aren't kissing a girl, lol.

i wonder if porn stars have jealousy issues....just a thought

How gay

These 2 guys at school kissed each other so this one girl would flash them. And the sad thing is we're all in highschool. Anyways i told them guys thats pretty gay. And im pretty baked. Halo out.
