"Is it a compulsion, an obsession, or maybe a deeply repressed attraction driven by their secret private feelings?"
Ah yes, I'm secretly gay and am all nervous about it.
Not quite, there have already been something like 20 or more posts of articles about "Brokeback Mountain" here. I think it's been covered. I don't think 20 postings about this movie is just "the slightest whiff", it's overkill.
Actually, for all other threads about these gay sheepherders, this is teh first actually describing the "movie" - as a piece of lousy "movie", rather than a movie critic's "worship at the house of anti-christian-homo-feelilia"
It can hardly be overkill. If it were, we would not be up in the 100+ range on this thread.
This reminds me of when students say "why should I write a new diet book--there are already so many." Well, the reason there are so many is because in a free economy people have the right to keep buying, because they are interested and people have the right to keep writing because they want to sell books.
FR is for the free market less time I checked?

Actually, I believe this makes the 40th thread. I could be off by one or two, as I really stopped counting at 36.
