Not all of us gay folk are comfortable with the flamboyance of gay-pride parades.....Ok, going on the few gay people that I know, I'll buy that.

And many would rather sip a Killian's in an Irish pub than dance to techno in a noisy gay bar. Again, OK.

"Gay" has nothing to do with lifestyle....errrr, you're losing me, here.

And rather than coming out of the closet to make a declaration of individuality or identity, most of us "come out" so that we can share the gift of love openly with another individual. ....or, to make a polical statement, or for any one of a multitude of reasons. Or, many just stay closeted. But, whatever.

So when the numbers are tallied and the awards dispersed, my hope is that "Brokeback Mountain" is seen not only as a monumental moment in cinema history....OK, that's it. Its a bad indie film. No more, no less. And it's only being received well in the gay community, by film geeks, and those that are trying to show how 'diverse' they are. 95% of Americans would need to be dragged into it kicking and screaming.

Idiots.

"Closet Conservatives Breeders in Homoland"

Having to pretend to be homosexual, America-Hating, Blue-Dog Democrats, secretly desiring to proclaim their Pledge of Allegiance as well as praying to God for forgiveness and for their blessings. Out of sight from others, the CCB talk openly of the Constitution and even bring their firearms to show one another.

Closet Conservative Breeders in Homoland - Bias and prejudices can not hold these patriots back.

Guess what, this morning I was watching the local news, Rockville, MD., on Channel 25, which must be a CBS or ABC affilitate. During the programming I was surprised to find that a commercial appeared for Brokenback Mountain...

What?

I don't know movie previews to be shown in the morning.

This compare to the programming on Foxnews, cable, which had a commercial for Country Music - artists like Aaron Tippen - this guy is far from gay.

Having said that, I'm not harsh with the gay crowd. I am actually accomodating to an extent - this most likely since I grew up in Austin, Tx.

I just don't want them to be beaten in the streets like they are in Eastern Europe. There if they protest they are beaten. Machismo is everywhere.

But what gets me is that conservatives refuse to see that we are in a culture war so they play nice.

Another infuriating News special happened a few years ago. It must have involved Katie Coric .... She had a panel of young girls discussing sex and teenage years. They all had the same opinion so it wasn't much of a discussion.

They all stated that being virgins isn't really important to them. The adults in the panel and audience remained silent and agreed with a nod.

It was really an embarrassing moment for me. I was ashamed to be human.

But there is hope on the horizon for these dirty disgusting teenage boys and girls... MTV is promoting that the young should get HIV tested. What would we do without MTV?

: )

Have you seen the recent commercials? They focus on scenes with the women, and refer to it as a great American love story. I hope the people tricked into seeing it wage a financial backlash against hollywood.

Or it might have to do with Hollywood hunks Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal and their huge female fan bases.

They look like fags to me. Not sure if this film will help their careers.

Correction to the article: they are not (I repeated "not") cowboys - they are two shepherds.

This paper is referred to as the "Baghdad Herald" by many native Vermonters. Make the NY Times look ultra-conservative. I've been in their offices...mostly staffed by womyn who closely resemble Eleanor Clift or Helen Thomas.

Every time I see this movie referenced in a thread title, I react by envisioning a favorite movie scene:

"What in the wide wide world of sports is a-goin' on here? I hired you men to build a railroad, not jump around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots!!"

You know this movie clears something up for me. I was in Colorado earlier this year and when I, or any of the guys with me, would come close to a herd of sheep the sheep would all take off running and baaaing their heads off. Now I know why!

I have a problem with this movie's advertising and reviews. It isn't up front with the audience.

It is not mentioned that these two 'cowboys' are actually sheep-herders. To people in the know, there is a great difference especially in the 'mythos' the film makers are trying to 'cash in' on with gay contraversy. **I feel the Mel Brooks might have been more appropriate to do a film about two gay sheepherders in the mountains!

Also the two men are already married with children to women before getting involved. So there is an real element of family breaking-up here.

All these facts as compared to the simplistic way this film is being marketed to the audience is somewhat false & hypocritical. Hypocrisy sucks!
I don't patronize such phony message films.
