Is brokeback mountain gay

For those of you who have not recently opened a paper or turned on the television, this film has generated praise from the majority of movie critics and its share of controversy. The movie has already been pulled from screens in three states, and I am confident, considering the amount of wingnuts, it will probably be pulled from several more screens before the end of its run.

The film, based on the short story by E. The film begins in when the two cowboys meet and, well, fall deeply in love. Brokeback the time and place, the two men are confused, frightened and, well, deeply in love. The story of this love affair stretches over a year period. At first sight the two hug and mountain passionately.

Every year they return to Brokeback Mountain to continue their relationship. All Jack wants in his future is for the two of them to live on a small ranch in Wyoming, to spend their life together. Of course, considering the attitudes of the time, we all know this is just a wonderful dream.

Enough of the story? The scenery is spectacular, the acting tremendous and some of the background music haunting. Upon entering the nearly packed house, I noticed the majority of the audience were straight young couples. What would the reaction be when the two cowboys kiss? What would my reaction be to the audience reaction?

The cowboys kissed? As the film progressed I could hear muffled sobs. Have, in 40 years, attitudes changed? Ironically, he was severely beaten, tied to a fence and died? All Jack Twist wanted in was for himself and Ennis to own a small ranch gay live as partners.

Switch to the present: Several states have recently passed state constitutional amendments to ban same-sex marriage. All Jack Twist wanted was to share their love and their lives together without harassment, without publicity, without harm. Switch to the present: Right-wing religious zealots and their legislative allies fight against comprehensive hate crime laws.

Not only do they fight against same-sex marriage, they fight against any civil protections for same-sex couples. Have we made progress? Of course we have? I did not hear a negative comment. I left the theater a bit watery-eyed but smiling? A movie of two men deeply in love may possibly receive the Oscar for Best Movie.
