Amusing comment from Cuaron

[Scully931]

Hello,

I was one of the people who commented on letting the real world in. 
And, yes, that quote from Cuaron was what started the conversation. 
(That along with the much discussed uniform, etc.) The gay part 
didn't bother me, I didn't care for the 'smack' comment. (Which is 
certainly my right.) Not sure why I feel the need to defend my 
opinion here, but, my best friend is gay and never would I think the 
things that were written below. I thought Lupin was cool. An uncle 
who does drugs isn't cool. That was and is my opinion. :-)
