I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry: Anti-Gay or Pro-Gay?

October 12, 2007

Early this afternoon, with tons of things to do (review, clean up my room, write blog post for Blog Action Day, etcetera) but too lazy to do it, I decided to watch a movie that I’ve kept putting off for some time: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.
