I hear there aren't any cows, no drives of the Herd to Dodge City, no gunfights, no Marshall Dillon or Josie Wales. It's no cowboy movie.

They do have sheep.

So...this is a gay sheep herder movie.

I think the people of Sodom and Gomorrah herded sheep.

Yeah, Gay Shepherds doesn't evoke the emotions the film makers are looking for.

Is this what they call "rinestone cowboys"?

Historically sheepherders were considered scum of the earth by any real cowboy. There were lots of deadly turf battles between the two. Sheep ruined many parts of the prairie by eating plants and grasses right off at the roots leaving very little for other animals to eat or to grow back. Also caused lots of erosion later blamed on cattle.

I think it is appropriate that these are sheepboys in more ways than one.
