Brokeback Mountain - what gay cowboys?
Filed under: Drama, Gay & Lesbian, Independent, Romance, Politics, Cinematical Indie
Brokeback Mountain is SO not gay - so says Bruce Strong over
at Dateline: Hollywood. In his essay (which we're assuming is as intended to be satirical as it comes across),
Strong argues his point with gems such as "if giving your friend a 'hand job' and having 'anal sex' on a cold
night in the woods makes you 'gay', then who among us can honestly claim to be straight?" Strong also makes a
compelling argument for Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway's characters being "the two most evil characters to
hit the screen in 2005".
I don't see what the big deal is. After all, the studios have been de-gayifying the film forever. Gay cowboys? What gay cowboys?

Hey Now Look.....1st and foremost Jake and Heath have proved themselves to the eyes of the screen world long before now.2nd of all
I think they are just the perfect ones to pull this off with awards on the horizon.
I for one can not wait to see this.They are gifted and talented and are trying to send the most simplest message.....YOU CAN NOT CONTROL YOUR HEART. You can't make someone love you and you can't stop someone from loving you. Hooray for film and talent.

Hey, about a month ago I made a similar argument (that got linked in a number of blogs), that they're shepherds, not cowboys:
Shepherds, Not Cowboys
I discovered that Annie Proulx totally agrees with me...
