	The Hot Blog: Thanks, Gene Shalit!
		Shalit described Jack as a sexual predator despite the fact that he was simply a man who was attracted to another and proceeded throughout the years to have an affair with him.
		Shalit has a son....would one call him a "sexual predator" as well?....obviously he had to insert "d" into slot "v".....or maybe is wife was the "sexual predator"...again insert "d" into slot "v"...
		But Shalit's suggestion that when Jack and Enis reunited it was Jack as the primary driving force is a bad misunderstanding of the film and speaks to the bigger issue, I think, which is the false notion that a man in a heterosexual relationship cannot also be in love with someone else...

		That said, after watching Shalit's review and reading GLAAD's response, and then reading the letter Peter Shalit (Gene Shalit's gay son) sent to GLAAD, you might be surprised to learn that I've come to the conclusion that Shalit the elder misspoke and meant no harm.
		Peter Shalit insists that his father "is not homophobic," that he "does not have a molecule of hate in his being," and that he's a friend of the gay community.
		Gene Shalit said something stupid, but he never said that all gay people are predators or that we're hot for sheep.

	Peter Shalit responds \| News \| Advocate.com
		Gene Shalit may not have liked Brokeback Mountain, but he loves his gay son and is not homophobic—so says Shalit's son Peter in an emotional letter to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation dated Monday.
		Shalit said he felt GLAAD's press release about the NBC Today show review, broadcast on Thursday, was a "mischaracterization" of his father.
		By suggesting Gene Shalit was homophobic, GLAAD had "defamed a good man, by falsely accusing him of a repellent form of bigotry," Peter Shalit wrote to the group's entertainment media director, Damon Romine, and president, Neil Giuliano.

		"Shalit's bizarre characterization of Jack as a 'predator' and Ennis (Heath Ledger) as a victim reflects a fundamental lack of understanding about the central relationship in the film and about gay relationships in general," GLAAD said in a statement.
		While Shalit may not be a Brokeback fan, his colleagues in critique have clamored to commend the cowboy drama.

	Gene Shalit makes GLAAD mad - Cinematical
		GLAAD criticized NBC for allowing Shalit a platform to air his "defamatory anti gay views" and slammed Shalit for characterizing Gyllenhaal's character as a sexual predator, alleging that Shalit wouldn't have made the same assessment of Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Titanic for getting it on with Kate Winslet's Rose.
		Clearly Shalit is a homophobic ass as I doubt he would characterise a male character contacting a female love after four years a sexual predator.
		Also, you're a little late in the discussion - Gene Shalit made a rediculous, untrue and offensive comment and people reacted to it justly - then he apologized and retracted his language in a dignified manner that was obviously heartfelt - he does, after all, have a gay son that he loves.

	GLAAD Hates Gene Shalit
		GLAAD says, "Shalit`s bizarre characterization of Jack as a `predator` and Ennis as a victim reflects a fundamental lack of understanding about the central relationship in the film and about gay relationships in general." So apparently they aren't just activists now, they're film critics.
		But Shalit's comments speak to the structure of the film he saw and they have nothing to do with his view of gays in general.
		In fact, Shalit's son is openly gay, and if the 1997 piece he wrote for The Advocate on the subject here is any indicator, they have a stellar relationship.

	aTypical Joe: A gay New Yorker living in the rural south.: Thank you Gene Shalit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		There is broad, deep misunderstanding about this subject and Shalit, who has written lovingly about his own gay son, has hit upon one of the most frequent and insidious of those misunderstandings.
		Shalit may (or may not) believe that even if Jack is predatory in his pursuit, Ennis is free - like any and every man or woman pursued by an unwanted suitor - to turn him down.
		When I saw the movie I saw comments like Shalit's coming especially with Jack wearing the fl hat (yes, I mean literally, think back) of the western bad guy and being the initiate, and Ennis wearing the white hat of the good guy/hero comments like this were bound to pop up.

		And Shalit is wrong to imply to NBC viewers that the media was afraid to bash McCarthy.
		Shalit continued: "That historic Murrow/McCarthy struggle is the center of Good Night and Good Luck, George Clooney's hypnotic new film." Later, he added the anti-Bush angle: "Now half a century later when those primary principles are current in new garb Clooney presents this chronicle of perilous times."
