Solid Biographical Drama?

From the USCCB’s review of the film, Milk:

Solid biographical drama about San Francisco supervisor and gay rights activist Harvey Milk (a fine Sean Penn), his tumultuous rise to office after three failed runs for city and state office, and his 1978 assassination by deranged fellow supervisor Dan White (Josh Brolin)…The film contains brief scenes of homosexual activity including male kissing and nongraphic encounters, rear male nudity, murder, suicide, and some rough language, crude expressions and profanity. The USCCB Office for Film & Broadcasting classification is L — limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling.

So the USCCB thinks this is a solid biographical drama even with its “problematic content”. Here is some of that “content” (from Focus on the Family’s review of movie) (please excuse the content):

The film suggests that the Christian Church-at least the conservative wing of the Church-is the real villain…We watch news footage of a young believer, interviewed outside a church, talking about how special rights based on sexuality are a threat to God’s laws and traditional family values-a sentiment that is repeatedly derided in Milk…And, indeed, Harvey is shown (a lot) with two sexual partners. He and Scott are in bed together-briefly engaged in a sexual act…the two kiss and embrace frequently, and Scott swims in someone’s pool naked…Harvey meets his other sexual partner, Jack, after Scott leaves. Harvey takes him home and the two frolic nude in the shadows, tackling and slapping each other…Several other men are shown kissing and caressing, and one of Harvey’s friends performs oral sex on another in a back room…About 15 f-words and a half-dozen or more s-words. God’s name is misused at least a dozen times.

Is it any wonder that Catholics are among the most morally confused people in the United States.

I’m happy to say that I am one of those unenlightened people who find this problematic content “troubling”. It’s too bad that the USCCB doesn’t feel the same about this “solid biographical drama”. Of course, they also gave a glowing review to the homosexual love story, Brokeback Mountain.

The USCCB’s infatuation with the homosexual lifestyle continues, unabated.
