gay cowboys try, as best they can, to quit one another. They marry women, start families. But their wives are crushed when they realize their husbands don't, and can't, ever really love them. "Brokeback Mountain" makes clear that it would have been better for all concerned if Jack and Ennis had lived in a world where they could simply be together.

Straight audiences are watching and loving "Brokeback Mountain" — that's troubling to evangelical Christians who have invested a decade and millions of dollars promoting the notion that gay men can be converted to heterosexuality, or become "ex-gay." It is, they insist, an ex-gay movement, although I've never met a gay man who was moved to join it.
This "movement" demands more from gay men than simply playing straight. Once a man can really pass as ex-gay — once he's got some Dockers, an expired gym membership and a bad haircut — he's supposed to become, in effect, an exgay missionary, reaching out to the hostile gay tribes in such inhospitable places as Chelsea and West Hollywood.
What should really trouble evangelicals, however, is this: even if every gay man became ex-gay tomorrow, there still wouldn't be an ex-lesbian tomboy out there for every ex-gay cowboy. Instead, millions of straight women would wake up one morning to discover that they had married a Jack or Ennis.

Sometimes I wonder if evangelicals really believe that gay men can go straight. If they don't think Chad Allen can play straight convincingly for 108 minutes, do they honestly imagine that gay men who aren't actors can play straight for a lifetime? And if anyone reading this believes that gay men can actually become exgay men, I have just one question for you: Would you want your daughter to marry one?

LOL here too, and that's in MA!! This article alone is enough to make you bust a gut laughing!
Not one true thing in it! Heterosexuals watching and loving it, indeed! Maybe in Hollywood.
They probably think by writing it, normal people WILL go, keep dreaming NYT!
"But we all have to hope this can be reversed."
Sure it can, but it's like any other addiction. Some men have even reported being edicted to porn, or bondage. Once they get the perverse high, or other result, it is difficult to go back to more moral ways. But it certainly can be done. Just as people do with addiction to drugs or alcohol.
What are you saying? You either are ex-gay yourself or had sex with Troy Aikman. Puke
Or, just perhaps, I was making a joke. You are awfully sensitive on this issue. Any reason for that?
That is probably the only reason why the film has made a profit. They're turned on by the gay sex acts, so naturally they'll want to see it again.
They probably can't wait for the DVD.
So true Mooch, that and ...............the word went out, support the cause, and do it often!
Every part of the "gay" agenda, this movie, etc., is an attempt to divert public attention from world governments' malfeasance. The best evidence of that is their manufacture of money out of thin air, and the transfer of wealth the fake money causes.
One day the country and world will wake up, smell its own financial slavery, and ...
When this movie first came out, and it was showing record-braking figures, 25% of the total came from six theatres in LA, San Fran, and Greenwich Village. These theatres AVERAGED $100m.
You pose real interesting questions that need an answer.
Yes, I love Troy Aikman, been a Dallas fan forever, and don't appreciate what you said. How in the heck do you know anything like that? Its garbage
OK. So did you understand my first response to you? If not, go back and read my #108 again, wherein I said it was a joke. My goodness. I like my football team, too, but when folks joke about Kyle Boller (easy target), I certainly don't lose my reading comprehension skills.
Sorry, won't apologize for making an obvious joke that you seem unable to recognize.
Have a serious day.
Sorry. I just remember all that crap being spewed about all the time when he was playing. I'd get on these chat rooms and of course, people who were insanely jealous of their success always resorted to that kind of name calling. I don't know how all that got started, really.
I'm not that serious, nor do I take myself seriously. I gossip (a serious sin though) as bad as the next person. I take your point
I doubt it. The faggot lifestyle which this movie apparently trys to immortalize is so reprehensible I doubt any straight guy has even watched it without being nausiated by its filthy message. It's amazing how low hollywood has descended. I miss the old days when the the hollywood faggots were doing it in the closet and their movies were heterosexual.
For my money and in the interest of public health, movies glorifying the abominable homo lifestyle should be banned and those that produce, direct and act in them rounded up and placed in penal colonies where they could "hit" on one another to their hearts content without damaging the rest of society. They are a malignancy.
I would also rename the movie to "buttf^?k mountain".
