FRANCO SURPRISED BY GAY LOVE SCENE
JAMES FRANCO's kiss with SEAN PENN in HARVEY MILK biopic MILK left him feeling uncomfortable - because his co-star wanted to act out a full-on love scene.
Franco, who plays San Francisco politician Milk's gay lover Scott Smith in the Gus Van Sant film, knew he'd have to pucker-up with Penn - but was shocked when the director told him the Colors actor wanted to take it further.
He tells Elle magazine, "In the original script I read, there was only one real kissing scene.
"A month after Gus asked me to do it, they sent me another script, and on Page 5 there was a full-on love scene. And I was like, 'Gus, what the heck?' He says, 'Well, it was Sean's idea'."

Slyce comments are exactly why there was a Harvey Milk and why this film is
being made. If gays and lesbians around the world had equality, just offered
the same courtesy's and dignity as thier straight counterpart's, we would not
have to be out in the streets, at rally's, at demonstrations, at congress, in
the U.S., around the world demanding it.

The insights on this movie get more and more sickening! I'm smitten with Franco
but HATE that he took on this role! I, for one cannot wait for this whole MILK
thing to die down! EVERY DAY there's some interview or some article on it!
Those of us who repudiate the homosexual/lesbian lifestyle will NOT be seeing
this film. And yes, I have the right to state this. So I did. Think what you
will, people who believe otherwise.
