Something I haven't seen on any of these threads - Isn't that movie also a back-handed slap at the state of Wyoming, where the Matthew Shepard killing in 1998 occurred? Though he was killed by drug infested losers and not cowboys, that movie looks like a cheap shot at not only trying to diminish or redefine the image of "cowboy culture" as we know it, but also that of an entire state whose persona is essentially represented by the imagery of the "macho" cowboy.
