West Hollywood -- I am a gift. A prize. After years of difficult repression, men with a secret seek me out as a reward for their good behavior. I make a living having sex with these closeted married men.
I'm an "escort," to use the euphemism, which gives me a unique perspective on a potential, and particular, cultural fallout as "Brokeback Mountain" widens out not just to Britain but to every remaining crumb in America's breadbasket.
Much has been made about the "turning point" effect Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee's Oscar-jockeying film could force upon Hollywood.
The movie is based on the 1997 New Yorker short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Annie Proulx about a ferociously masculine love affair between two Wyoming ranch hands, Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Ennis (Heath Ledger).
Never before in a major-release film have two male actors stepped so assuredly off the Hollywood fast track to kiss and love this deeply. The dam has been breached, blown apart actually, and we can expect a flood. Yes, it's about time.
As a pre-gay, I dropped a calculus midterm to be among the first to find out what Tom's visit to Brad's bedroom in the "Interview With a Vampire" trailer was really about.
Like scores of other moviegoers, I lamented that the only fluid the nocturnal fops swapped was blood. But I was sufficiently spooked. The film's implicit homoeroticism burrowed beneath my skin.
The nature of the love between Jack and Ennis cannot be misread. The clearer the message, "This could be you," the more likely viewers may hear it. And then act. Which is where I come in...

Here's a couple of facts that also might surprise you.
Most of the ticket sales of Brokeback Mountain are to women.
Most of the Gay erotica on the 'net is written by women.
My husband has some freebies coming to him as well. F'rinstance, Jessica Alba has my permission to ravage my husband anytime. All I want in return is the details. :-)
Oh yeah, same deal goes for that chickee who plays Lana on Smallville. Come and get him, ladies! :-D
"pre-gay"; what's that??????
And why does it require calculus?
That does surprise me, and is very interesting!
I'd bet that the women seeing this flick are going to see Heath Ledger and whatsisname. Wonder what they think about the sex scenes?
I went to see a movie years ago because Christopher Reeves was in it, I believe it was called Deathtrap (?) and there were many women in the audience. There was one scene where Reeves and another guy kissed, (can't think of his name, dangrabit) and you should have heard the "eeeeews!" from the audience, but that was long ago.
Please don't tell me that means you bought a strap-on....
Very good. But how could you forget the camp out at Crawford. The Druid flute and drum corps appearance at the Summer Solstice Festival of Enlightened Planetary Oneness. The brave transgendered elk who found shelter with PETA.
Truly there are not enough absurdities in the world to fill a left wing liberal movie.
So everything should be perfect for you two.
You just need to leave the toilet seat up to assert your maleness and he should probably learn to like shopping for shoes.
Just as there are men who enjoy the idea of two women getting it on, there is a smaller subgroup of women who like the same thing in reverse.
One of those truisms you only learn by accident because of the internet: No matter what it is, there are at least 3000 people in America that are sexually titilated by it, and there is at least 30 websites devoted to it.

Guys like this piss me off. Not the gay prostitute, who cares they're worthless and they've existed since the Israelites had to clean out the temples of Dagon in Canaan. No, the "closeted married men". It's hard enough for many single straight guys to find a date (or a decent date), and these apparently affluent men--affluent because they can pay some other dude to investigate their own rectal passages--are shrinking the pool of available women? There should be a law--if you're gay, fine, go be gay. If you're gay pretending your straight, well then castration by pirannhas.
"As the conservative columnist Leonard Pits said" - alert, please. I almost coffee'd the keyboard over that line.
Anyone who underestimates the power Hollywood has exerted to deconstruct American family life need read no more than this.
No, Morford's gay. Really, really gay. Queer as a three-dollar bill. Goes in through the out-door. Loves them gladiator movies. If gay was cornflakes, he'd be General Mills. All clear?
"And sheep are for ecstasy!"
PETA'll get ya fer that one.
Sigh. I guess I'll ping it out. As soon as my tech problems are at least somewhat addressed.
I thank God (and I meant this with all respect and seriousness) that I don't have a TV and rarely if ever go to movies.
So I read articles about them sometimes and that's about it.
Sex is a salve, not a cure, and it can't replace lost love, missed opportunities. But as salves go, well, so go I.
I thought it was vaseline
give them an inch ,they want a mile......
She's like you to think so. Mark Morford is as gay as a leather pinata.
