He's also clear on his disdain for the source material, and while he never overtly says anything homophobic, the review drips with homophobia.

It's just this side of hate speech.

There's this strain of relativism that is plaguing our society these days, which states that each person is entitled (that word again) to their own uniquely valid opinion, and this point of view tends to disregard the beliefs being espoused in favor of the espousing of beliefs.

It's nonsense. Hate speech is hate speech. And John Simon is getting about as close as he can to said speech without actually stating it directly. And I for one won't take that lying down. Laying down. Lying down.
