text: does it make me gay or soft if i cry during movies ? whenever i watch sad movies i always cry. a few movies come to mind like bambi, old yeller, titanic, armeggeaon. i can't seem to turn off the old water works.  does make me any less of a man ? no, i cry at the movies also.  when i saw schindler's list the entire audience was crying and as the credits rolled nobody moved, very powerful movie.  there is no shame in expressing emotion, the shame is to keep it bottled inside.  fyi girls like sensitive men.
