The film attempts to paint an image of doom and oppression too quickly. It rightly demonizes the bad guys quickly by having them espouse all the negative myths and misconceptions about homosexuality, but in the haste to resolve the story they fail to refute or expose the misinformation as being false. In short, it's as if they let homophobes have a backhanded jab at gays, but thinks the ending about gay conversion being bad excuses it and grants absolution. As a gay person, I feel sold out by the producers attempt to be our friend by giving a half hearted pro gay story.
