Not all of us gay folk are comfortable with the flamboyance of gay-pride parades.....Ok, going on the few gay people that I know, I'll buy that.

And many would rather sip a Killian's in an Irish pub than dance to techno in a noisy gay bar. Again, OK.

"Gay" has nothing to do with lifestyle....errrr, you're losing me, here.

And rather than coming out of the closet to make a declaration of individuality or identity, most of us "come out" so that we can share the gift of love openly with another individual. ....or, to make a polical statement, or for any one of a multitude of reasons. Or, many just stay closeted. But, whatever.

So when the numbers are tallied and the awards dispersed, my hope is that "Brokeback Mountain" is seen not only as a monumental moment in cinema history....OK, that's it. Its a bad indie film. No more, no less. And it's only being received well in the gay community, by film geeks, and those that are trying to show how 'diverse' they are. 95% of Americans would need to be dragged into it kicking and screaming.

Idiots.

Idiot, that is. I dislike writers that try to assign waaaaay to much importance to the trivial.
