Cameron’s appearance in Bruno is quite amusing, although I have to say he doesn’t embarrass himself that badly.

He’s shown saying some vaguely un-PC things about women (basically “they can be annoying but ultimately they’re good for us”), nothing worse.

Certainly nothing nearly as embarrassing as if, oh I don’t know, he’d taken a bunch of obits from a gay alternative newspaper and used that to estimate the mean life expectancy of homosexuals and then published this ludicrous “research” in a crap journal. For example.

@ Warren,

wasn’t there certain phrasing that Cameron used in one of his letters to you that was “odd” to say the least.

David – You are right that it is not a fair situation. It does raise the question given that Cameron has no clinical background, why he would take on such a situation?

Yes, there is overlap in their views. Cameron at least is aware that homosexuals were persecuted during Nazi Germany. He does minimize their suffering as does Lively. It is safe to say that both men seem to believe gays to be responsible for lots of mischief.

Bruno’s sarcasm, cynicism, deceptiveness and hostility has found one viable target out of hundreds hit.

Still, it is not a fair fight.

Bruno’s deception might elicit compassion for Cameron.

Any thoughts on Cameron’s past views expressed here and Lively’s views?

There seems to be overlap.
