"Cowboys" don't herd sheep Sure the do. Lots of cattle ranchers also have sheep. A coyboy is simple a person who does his work on horseback. this gay cowboy stuff really bothers people's stereotype of a cowboy, perhaps that's one of the goals of this movie's producer. The gay brigades want to tear down all things normal, and force their sickness in our faces 24-7 Like this gay "cowboy": http://www.cowboyfrank.net/

It's embarrassing when The Dukes of Hazzard out-grosses your film.
<thoughtcrime>Personally I think Bareback Mountain out-grosses just about any movie short of the Textas Chainsaw Massacre </thoughtcrime>
It used to be the "love that dare not speak it's name", now it's the "love that won't shut the hell up". I just got my Kinski/Herzog 6-DVD set from Amazon, so can watch Teutonic films about conquest, madness, murder and (hetero) lust in the comfort of my own home without giving hollywood a red cent...

"Nope. Cowboys."
Nope. Shepherds dressed up like the Village People. Dressing like a cowboy doesn't make you a cowboy.

This is just the way that Hollywood is going to rationalize why this movie is going to be a big flop! They made fun of George Bush by calling him a cowboy & now this movie is attacking the institution of the American Cowboy.
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I've noticed that ESPECIALLY since Bush won this second term, since that last election, television & movies have been 100's of times worse than they were before (and that's saying alot!!!).
I think this is their way of punishing "Red Staters", their way of saying - take this!
Yeah, their spin will be that Brokeback Mountain flopped because Red State Americans are homophobic. They're going to keep foisting this crap on all of us whether we want it or not.

a very strong "ick factor" in some straight men. A psychologist who coined the word "homophobic" said the revulsion is precisely that.
I don't know, there's just something about the smell and sight of blood feces on my manhood, or just the smell of another man, which I almost always find nauseating. I am also nauseated by the scent of about half or more of the women around me as well.
Intimacy with another human being is something that's not easy to achieve, and that kind of intimacy with another man is just not normal. What else can you say?

The closest things I can find is miso-, mis-, -misia (Greek: hate, hater, hatred; disgust for; revulsion of). So of course, we will be called haters. I'm all for it.
Our choices are--
Misohomosexualist Mishomosexualist Homosexmisia
...or some variation thereof. None of them are 'smooth-sounding', if you get my drift--they sound choppy and made-up. I'm partial to misohomosexualist, but if you come up with something that sounds better, let me know.

It's a chick flick, of course guys hate it. Movies about forbidden love and crying audience members are for girls, doesn't matter the gender of the forbidden lovers those movies are for girls. Guys don't like forbidden love movies, we like movies where things blow up.

A psychologist who coined the word "homophobic" said the revulsion is precisely that. A scientist who discovered genetic links to sexuality said he simply does not understand the response. The author of "The Sexual Brain" said there is nothing on a neurobiological basis to explain the aversion. I have an aversion to it allright. I don't get off seeing two guys going for a roll in the hay. I don't call it love, I call it sodomy.
Sorry I find women attractive. Not guys.
To: BenLurkin
I doubt if any straight women are interested in seeing this movie either.I know a few, including me, that would not view it if someone gave them a DVD for free.
