Good points, all of them. =) As I mentioned to JD above, I was just concerned that it did seem stereotypical, etc., because of what one of my friends (a gay male) said about it.

If anything, I found the movie to have a very positive message overall otherwise. My favorite line? Domestic violence victim to Swayze's character: "I don't think of you as a man or as a woman. I think of you as an angel." ^___^
