1968 Films

With a quick review at this time, have noticed there were a number of significant films for the gay rights project which came out in 1968: ****************** Finian's Rainbow, ********************* The Green Berets, ****************** The Producers, ****************** The Green Slime,********************* The Party,****************** The Lion in Winter. ********** An actress, Lee Phillip, introduced Finian's Rainbow at one of the opening events. Ms. Phillip, along with her husband Bill Bell, created "The Young & Restless" daytime TV series. *** Also, my uncle's family had moved near a policeman's family--where they lived for about 10 years--in 1967. *** [It's possible I don't have all the 1968 films listed here but these are some, for now.--Just thought it was interesting.]

Criticism from Christians

If some Christians think the gay rights project--with connections to Hollywood--is too frivolous, they should consider that the reason things happened was because Christians weren't doing enough to begin with! [If anyone would like to express specific concerns to me, they're welcome to do so! Maybe I could help them understand how they could be more helpful, as individuals!?]

He Made a Difference

The life of John Forbes Nash, Jr., and the movie, "A Beautiful Mind" raise a lot of questions around the use of psychiatric medications! Apparently, the film differed from the original biography on that point. An Internet write-up links to an article from a reputable American newspaper which discusses research and experience from a number of trusted sources, including the World Health Organization and Harvard University. *** John Nash was a genius mathematician who suffered from schizophrenia during part of his life. He made efforts to recover; and he won a Nobel Prize and other awards. He also received honourary doctorate degrees. *** Myself, I don't agree with diagnoses which have been made against me in the past 4-5 years; but IF I had a problem, there would be legitimate and scientific arguments against taking the medications offered [or attempted to be forced], in my opinion.
