"Pink" stage wash opinions please

Hi,

I have gotten into what has become an insane disagreement with someone
I work with over whether or not using "pink"--actually magenta--gel in the
downstage wash makes people on stage look "gay". To me that thought
is never even going to enter most people's minds, and those whose mind
it does enter have a bit of a problem and are in the vast minority.

Experience I've had using different type gels has taught me to like hot
magentas for warm washes instead of true reds, because reds are too
harsh and therefore pretty much for special effect rather than a good
standard warm wash color. I'm interested in any ideas on this, and any
links to other places where it has been discussed.

Thanks,
David

All colors are "gay". I suggest that you work exclusively in
black and white.

Wait a minute, if you do that everyone will think you're
a racist. Never mind, forget the whole project; read a book.

But if you do that others will think you're trying to be
smarter than them.

The world is a complicated place and by pleasing all men
you please no one, least of all yourself.

You'll never change the mind of a Biggot.

Now there's a project for someone. A 'black' filter to when you
use it the area that it is focused on becomes black [invisible].
What a concept! You could make $100 for that !
