she wasn't really gay: She was bi and had a very interesting way of looking at the world and love. So he didn't turn her straight-she simply allowed him to believe this because it made HIM feel good. She had been with men before but had been treated like shit so she just hadn't dated any for a while. I personally LOVED Chasing Amy for a variety of reasons (its my favorite of the Smith films actually) and I am female. I never really though ooH yeah and he turns her straight. I don't think that was the point of the whole thing. I could be wrong.

I have a theory...
: Are members of the male sex more inclined to become fans of Chasing Amy? And if so, Why? Is it the theory that a man can turn a lesbian straight? And that a lesbian can fall in love with the person regardless of male/female stat's as the movie projects?
: I am a female, and really do appreciate Kevin's bold moves for portraying these types of situations in a positive manner. I dont feel that I could understand a male's perspective on this, even if I reverse the roles. For there is no WAY in hell that I could turn a gay man straight (sp?).
