Well I think it's interesting to see how an actor's or director's sexuality contributes directly to their art. Derek Jarman for instance let his sexuality influence his films a great deal, whereas in less enlightened times other similar people would not have been able to do this.

Quite apart from this, these posts may make those gay members of ForeignFilms.com feel more at home here. Sexuality's not the be-all and end-all, but it's certainly an important part of life for many of us.
