Alas. Since Mack is nothing if not an enthusiast, he is now telling everybody he knows that they've got to go see "Brokeback Mountain" right now. But since everybody he knows, except me, is like him, they just laugh like hyenas and tell him he's nuts.

"Isn't it irritating," I say now to Mack, "when people won't do what you know to be right?"

"Yep," he says, "I know just whatcha mean."

He doesn't at all, and as soon as I learn how to quit him, I'll tell him.

 ;D

aww that was a nice article, it brightened my day

one less homophobe on the earth.. haha!!

Thats an accomplishment, if this movie can do that than thats an achievement in itself, to show people homosexuality is not EVIL and HORRIBLE.

To two showings I've been to seem to have had quite a few male/female couples. I wonder how many of them were dragged along by their partners and ended up loving Brokeback? Who knows, maybe the boys dragged along the girls...  ;)

I just hope they come out of the movie with an appreciation of the fact that we fall in love with a person, not sex. Straight guys have homophobia big time. My god if all we ever did was think of sex the kids I teach would be illiterate.

It's been my observation that a lot of that homophobic fear is really silly.  It's as though some of them fear that if society accepts or tolerates homosexuality then it will be open season on straight men by gay hunters.  It's a symptom of the "yeah, you want me don't you" syndrome...an assumption they would be desired by every gay man in their vicinity.  I have to laugh when I whenever I detect that attitude.  It's so tempting to just blurt out "GET REAL!!  GAY MEN HAVE TASTE!"

Whew!! I'm glad I got that off my chest.  ;D ;D ;D

"GET REAL!!  GAY MEN HAVE TASTE!"

LOL! It's strange how many str8 men suffer from the same delusion. Wishful thinking, maybe?
