While Michael Moore’s latest film, SiCKO, is still making a run in theaters, he’s already thinking about his next topic to tackle - homophobia. A recent interview with the Advocate may give us some insight into what his next documentary will be about, and as always, it promises to spark numerous debates.

“I think it’s a very ripe subject for someone like me to make a movie about. Simply because we are not there yet and it remains one of the last open wounds on our soul that we are not willing to fix yet. There is nowhere in the four Gospels where Jesus uses the word homosexual. The right wing has appropriated this guy… and they have used him to attack gays and lesbians, when he never said a single word against people who are homosexual. Anyone who professes to be a Christian and does that is certainly not following the teachings of Jesus Christ,” said Moore.

So it looks like Moore will not only be tackling the issue of homophobia, but will also be addressing the hypocrisy of those Christians (not all) who treat gays, lesbians, and bisexuals as evil or less than human. Look for conservative gays and self-proclaimed “cured” gays such as Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, and ex-New Jersey Governor James McGreevey to make the cut.

I can smell the controversy already….
