He noted that "Brokeback" and "Crash" both dealt with "tough issues like indifference and intolerance." What kind of intolerance? Were the sheep bleating "faaags, faaaags, faaaags" throughout the entire movie?
In the film the more straight of the pair, Heath Ledger's character, talks about when his dad took him and his brother to see a dead rancher in a ditch, presumed to be gay because he was a rancher who was ridiculed as such and had a ranch with another guy and no women. The body had had his genitals mutilated or something along those lines. The character opines maybe his dad was involved in the killing.
The other, who has other homosexual affairs and travels to Mexico for hustlers, ends up dead from a possible gay-bash murder (real or imagined, it's left to the viewer).
They also spend time talking about having a ranch of their own.
