Interesting that a woman wrote the original novel.

"Interesting that a woman wrote the original novel."

Yes indeed Annie Proulx who is most famous for Shipping News. This is actually a short story that was in a collection of award winners the year it came out and which I have. I thought it (the short story) was well written and very interesting in many ways. For instance these are young WY rural kids who grew up within communities that were definitely not gay-freindly (remember this is Cheney country) and the kind of emotions they go through and justification they make to themselves etc. In the story both go on after that one summer to marry women at the end one who lives in Texas then is killed while changing a spare tire but you are led to know that he had probably been found out as a closet case and given some old western justice ala Matt Shepherd. The sex scenes were not explicit and I thought it was a great read, but I'm not as squeamish about homos as some here.

There is something called slash fiction posted on the Internet and newsgroups,written by women about male homosexuals, usually based on TV or movie shows. Maybe its like men like to see women together in porn.
