Antonio Banderas Says 'Gay People Are Well, Homophobes Are Sick'
Antonio Banderas made it clear he is in favor of same-sex couples enjoying the same rights as heterosexual couples in Peru, where he was promoting his new role as a photographer with the art exhibition 'Women In Gold.' He has called homophobic people 'sick' and called for greater acceptance and encouraged changed within the Catholic Church. He also spoke about his role in the gay themed 1987 film "Law of Desire," directed by Pedro Almodovar.
Antonio Banderas spoke openly to Canal N in Peru. "To those who believe that homosexuals are sick people, I would say that the real sufferers are the homophobes," said the Spanish thespian. "Those who assess others from an irrational and intolerant point of view are those who really have a serious problem that must be solved . In this sense, I consider that homosexuals manage a much healthier life." The performer also spoke about the significance of Zorro and the arrival of Spanish actors in Hollywood.

Antonio Banderas: Hispanic Same-sex attracted Masculinities and the Global Mirror Stage (1991-2001)
Abstract
Here I map out the Atlantic intertwining between neo-liberal/neo-imperial Spain and cinema by evaluating Antonio Banderas's body politics as the postmodern (post- or neoimperialist) Don Juan. Banderas's career trajectory from 1991 to 2001 coincides with larger political and historical developments. He arrived in Hollywood in the initial 1990s, a moment when different but interconnected historical events came together— the end of the Cold War and the neo-liberal globalization of the Merged States with treaties such as NAFTA and GATT; the growing public profile of the fundamentalist religious right and gays; and the mainstream population's (unwilling) acceptance of Latinos as a differentiated community. Hollywood needed a new considerate of masculinity that gathered in all these new dimensions of United States identity while not completely shedding traditional Hollywood male typology, and Banderas fulfilled all the requirements. At the identical time in Banderas Spain acquired a global card of presentation for its new neoimperialist and Atlantic pursuits in Latin America.

It was a story that had to be relived on screen, Banderas told ABC News of the fresh film “The 33.”
“What we saw on television was more Hollywood than Hollywood,” Banderas said. “If anybody tried to write something like this out of their minds, a fiction movie, nobody would own believed this. Because the 33 come out alive, it’s a happy termination. It’s very Hollywood. But there were more things down there. … it’s about life and the simplicity of it.”
But unlike this role, some of Banderas’ other more noted roles were not such easy choices. Banderas, 55, told Peter Travers his greatest challenge came when he first began active with director Pedro Almodóvar.
“He opened many different places in my brain as a human being, many different doors,” Banderas said. “He taught me many different things about morality. I remember when we w
