"Perhaps the truth really is, Americans don’t want cowboys to be gay"

Perhaps the truth really is, Larry McMurty is too stupid to know the difference between a cowboy and a sheep herder.....

Perhaps the truth really is, Americans aren't all as stupid and politically correct as Hollyweird wants them to be........ but wait, the voters for these fiascos are members of the great "Academy" not Americans at large.....

so..... Perhaps the truth really is, even Hollyweird is not all as vapid and politically correct as the activists and frauds like McMurty try to make it appear.....

I think they got tired of us predicting BM would win.

Kind of a "Nya-nya, shows what you know!" tantrum.

I think you can understand the angst over this if you look at the Hollywood point of view. They have ridden race baiting so long and hard even they are tired of it. They were hoping to jump on the homo band wagon to demonstrate tolerance and bravery at no cost. If you want drama you need conflict, but who can be the bad guy? Muslims are out, blacks are out, Indians are out, commies are out, women are out, Latinos are out. They are pretty much down to white Christian men from red states. At the end of this their will be one rich white guy from Indiana who is the heavy in every movie. I dunno, maybe Larry Byrd, that would be great.
