The author of the famous gay cowboy story that the movie Brokeback Mountain was based on says the story is a "source of constant irritation" in her life. Apparently her porn addled fans keep sending her re-writes of the lurid tale made even more lurid with amped up porn scenes added.
To many in the gay community, Brokeback Mountain is insufficiently "gay" enough. Apparently, these people want it to be a wild tale of cowboy queens in everyone's face infused with wild abandon. Instead of what the author wanted it to be, these people want it to be more akin to some San Francisco Gay Pride parade writ literati.

As I have seen regretably in several friends from high school, like any infection, the homosexual curse goes from being something your are exposed to to something that colors and shades every aspect of your life. The guys I knew in school who “went over to play for the other side” started out as regular Joes who were smart, students, sportsmen, cooks, sons, etc., and over time became singularly and exclusively GAY people, with the disease coloring every single thing they thought, or did. It is the disease that devours its host.
I like Dr. Ben Dover’s version.
So poor Anne had wanted to show the world the sensitive, mature side of homosexual relationships and the result was that she got a bunch of rewrites from homosexuals turning her story into a gay bathhouse orgy. Amusing indeed.
Hope it irritates like gay bowel syndrome
heh, heh, heh.
Not necessarily since that was going to be the sequel to the one about the beaver trapper and the fur traders:
