Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark" data-source="post: 916530" data-attributes="member: 5">You're allowing some things to be metaphoric when it fits the homosexuality parallel but taking some things literally to show they do not fit others.  Jews had to move from place to place throughout their history until their homeland was established in the middle of the last century and that's the metaphoric parallel to being thrown out of their homes.  I do not know the perspective you are bringing to this discussion but Stan Lee's perspective is decidedly Jewish.That notwithstanding, as I previously stated, no matter what was written or used as a perspective for the movie, I believe it is meant to be inclusive of both and much, much more.  I think it does the source material and the creator of that material a disservice to try and coopt the material and to claim it serves merely one interpretation especially when that interpretation is clearly not the one established in its origin.Does anyone not remember the opening scene of the first movie?  Concentration camps existed to herd and eliminate all sorts of what the Nazi's claimed were society's unwanted.  Certainly you are not claiming that they were established to remove homosexuals alone and that any other affected group was an unfortunate side effect?</blockquote>
