I watched this movie yesterday and omg it was AMAZING! Its a beautiful love story that sadly ends up in a tragic senseless death....The movie is about Barry Winchell who was a Private First Class in the army who met and fell in love with Calpernia Addams (who was a male to female, transgender showgirl)....Long story short, he was repeatedly harrassed on base (Justin Fisher, his roomate AND the one who not only took him to the club the first time but also constantly instegated situations on base was a real pc of work!) and ended up getting his skull bashed in by another soldier who was basically coaxed by Fisher...Anyway, have any of you seen this movie? If so what did you think of it? Were you familiar with the true story already? (I wasnt)...for those of you who havent seen it...check it out..it really is an amazing (though ultimately heartwrenching) movie!

oh I love horror movies but this isnt a horror....its a drama I guess...based on a true life case of gay hate crime...its really good..In fact both my kids watched it with me and they really loved it too...they were so mad when Winchell was murdered too, they have about as much tolerance for hate as I do ;-)
