The Music For "Gaytanamo"

The most tasteless gay porn movie ever made has an extra piece of obscenity, as a reader notices:

Did you notice that the soundtrack for the trailer on Dark Alley's website is the Finale to Shostakovitch's Symphony No. 5? These queens thought it made their groomed porn studs seem more dramatic and heroic, I suppose. I wonder if they realized that the background of the piece was the composer's personal spiritual triumph over the threat of being sent to the Gulag, along with his family, for writing music that was not condoned in Stalin's USSR.

I am reminded of a friend of mine's quip: "I'm not a self-hating homosexual. I like myself. It's all the other homosexuals I can't stand."
