Oliver Stone Blames America For Being Homophobic Director Oliver Stone blames Americans for being too homophobic and sustains they were the cause for the box office disaster Alexander.	By 29th of July 2005, 22:03 GMT Adjust text size:

Director Oliver Stone blames Americans for being too homophobic and sustains they were the cause for the box office disaster of "Alexander". Stone confessed that after his historic movie was called 'Alexander the Gay', the negative critics filled up the media. The director also said he was very disappointed by the British public too, because they were as harshly as the US spectators. He says: "Once 'Alexander The Gay' came out - that was the headline - that killed it. You don't combine homosexuality or bisexuality with military men in America. "I was hoping the British would look at it in another light but it was impossible to overcome. In Britain I got some of the worst reviews, next to America, that I've got in my life", Stone added.

I could understand why it got bad reviews. Its not like it was a horrible movie, I wouldn't know if it was or not. But stating that we are all homaphobes is a bit extreme. That is just labeling people out of frustration. We are just not gay, not homaphobes.
