Debate: Should gays have the right to marry?
Side: Quentin Tarantino's TOP GUN

Clearly you have not heard Quentin Tarantino's analysis on the hidden themes within the cult classic cinema film Top Gun.Specifically Ice Mans attempt to woo the protagonist, Maverick away from heterosexuality, as represented by lead female character, Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood (played by Kelly McGillis). The film can be seen as a struggle between this love triangle in a battle of lust, the fate of which will determine none other than a mans sexual orientation. While Ice man and his coterie uses his close position as a gay man to try to nudge Maverick to "go the gay way", Charlotte or "Charlie" adopts a masculine identity to try to coax Maverick back from the brink of gayness and to her heterosexual clitoral force.(spoiler alert)Although Charlotte initially succeeds in seducing Maverick, the romance is not long lived, as ultimately Iceman succeeds in winning over Maverick in a climactic dogfight scene that eclipses Terry McGillis's sex scene in its orgasmic intensity. (Notable is that Maverick can only have sex with Charlotte in the dark, while the dogfight scenes are in broad daylight.) The conclusion was hinted at earlier in the film with the song "shes lost that loving feeling" and with it "gone, gone, gone", so too is Mavericks hetero persona.(the deeper message)The film explores the "rules of engagement" or the boundaries of acceptable behavior in terms of influencing anothers sexuality.Was Charlotte really justified in her actions trying to win back Maverick to "go the normal way"? Or were her actions ultimately selfishly motivated? By seducing him was she really only vindicating her own sexual power and thereby just using him to feed her own vanity? Did Iceman cross a line in trying to win Maverick over to "go the gay way"? And if so, where was this line crossed? Was it in the locker-room? Or were these antics still within the bounds of normal heterosexual behavior? Did Iceman go too far in taking advantage of Maverick in his time of weakness, after his hetero-friend and wing-man Goose dies in a gruesome accident? Did the lesser characters not do enough in guiding and protecting the troubled Maverick on his sexual journey, when they acted as only passive observers? Did Charlotte go too far, abusing her position of dominant power and authority as flight instructor to seduce young men? Or did Charlotte not go far enough with Maverick? Should she have been more open to his sexual persona in the bedroom, and accepted anal sex as part of that persona? In the end, would this have made any difference? We will never know. But almost certainly any anal sex scene, no mater how tastefully done, would have precluded it from its 1986 PG rating.(the fallout)Needless to say Tom Cruises career would never be the same. The effect of the film itself on the direction of the Church of Scientology is as of yet an incompletely explored subject..Her self confidence as a woman shattered, Kelly McGillis retired from the screen a ruined woman..Iceman (played by Val Kilmer) was never again at the top of his game, his film career cooled down too, suffering a similar fate.*Quentin Tarantino's TOP GUNhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyN8VN4BSzM#
