Now that's a generalization if I ever heard one.
Now that's a generalization if I ever heard one.
There is a scene in "Eastern Promises" where the protagonist, a "deep cover" police officer infiltrating the Russian / Eastern European mob in London, is compelled to have sex with an enslaved woman in order to prove that he isn't gay. (Because, up to this point, he has not shown interest in these "usual" activities.)
The quote from Hayden, after raising my ire, quickly made me think of this. So, Hayden is more or less saying that, um... "lack of demonstrated sexual prowess" is tantamount to being a misanthrope -- and worse, from the criminal justice perspective, a "criminal" (I'll refrain from using the t-word, including because it probably bumps the ranking of a post in today's data collection systems).
Of course, one might presume to take it as implied also, that if you're gay, you belong to this group.
That such a figure of authority can and does so loosely -- or perhaps purposefully -- bandy about such prejudiced language...
These are not consummate professionals. They are... apparatchiks.
guess one of the patterns coded into their dragnet.
Note to geeks - get out and talk to girls or your file will be moved into "next terrorists" folder :)
