ewan on "they're not gay, they just love each other"

[cimorene]

You may have noticed that "They're not gay, they just love each other" is one of the most enraging political pet peeves that ever enraged me. torachan linked to this post where izzardwizzard posted scans of a new OUT interview where Ewan had this cheer-worthy sentiment about it in the context of I Love You Phillip Morris:

"I'm very keen that it's a gay movie," McGregor insists. "There was quite a lot of talk at Sundance that 'Well, it's not a gay movie. It's a film about guys who happen to be gay.' And I was thinking, it's nothing but a gay movie. It's about a gay couple, about a man's sexuality, and he comes out. It's not the point of the film, but let's not pretend it's not a gay film."

when I saw the title I was afraid I was about to discover that Ewan thought that — what a relief. :D
