I don't have a problem with this at all.I may have a problem with priests reading out certain passages of the bible to young children that spread hate, fear, homophobia, genocide, incest and murder. But a beautiful film about an enduring love... no problem with that. This film was rated ‘M’ in Australia, in other words anyone of any age can see it. I don’t have a problem with this at all.

The specific content of the film isn't even relevant, although it makes for the greater media play. Legally, any R-rated film found to psychologically impact an unconsenting minor in a school setting to whom it is shown can be grounds for this type of action against the school district and the individually responsible parties. For anyone, gay or otherwise, to suggest this school or the perpetrators should be given a pass demonstrates a willingness to see children harmed for ideological gain.
