Let's all sit and be lectured by this puke....

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?

Straight liberals, no doubt.
Total BS. People are being cajoled into seeing it because of all the pro-gay press. The five films nominated for Best Picture (or really Best Portrayer of Lies and Filth) have the lowest total gross of any five films in 20 years. No one is seeing this movie.
This author is just hoping that his hunting lease will always be stocked with other self-abusers.
I guess there are people out there with no Gaydar.
I have skimmed over the IMDB message board for this movie. They watch it over and over, some going 15 times and more. And they are very rude to anyone to doesn't sing its praises, calling them homophobes, trolls, right-wing wackos, etc. automatically.
Uh....that should read "gay SHEEP HERDERS!"
Let's all sit and be lectured by this puke....
"Doesn't Dan Savage write sex columns in alternative weeklies?"
Yep.
Some of the columns would be unprintable in flyover country.
I think it's hilarious that now it's the homosexual community that adheres to the old "c*cks*cker rule -- s*ck one c*ck and you'll aways be a c*cks*cker." Mostly because they want everyone who's ever had a homosexual experience (however young and forced) to somehow "count" as gay and to think of themselves as irretrievably homosexual. Faugh! Stuff and Nonsense!
I don't believe it either. Has anyone seen the numbers on the box office take for Brokeback Mountain?
Not where I live they aint!
And yours is finely tuned, right?
What's IMBD?
If ones sexual habits cannot be changed.... then why oh why do we allow all sex offenders i.e., rapists, child molestors etc. parole at all?
Or are we just playing PC games?
Internet Movie Bondage Domination? (I think you mean IMDB Internet Movie Data Base)
Yup right on Dan that's what the gays want,nice stable families.
I wonder than way HIV and a host of other sexual transmitted diseases are on the rise in homosexuals?
Why is it Dan that these "settling down" types have hundreds of partners in a given year?
Tell me Dan, why does the average homosexual only live to the rip old of age of 50?
Why don't you write a column on the destructive behavior of homosexuals, instead of this filthy propaganda?
It's the movie site run by Yahoo, International Movie Data Base. Quite interesting source actually!
How's that for TOLERANCE?
Instead, millions of straight women would wake up one morning to discover that they had married a Jack or Ennis.
Ooooh, so when gay guys stay gay, that's an act of generosity to women, right? OK...
Obviously, some witty, bitchy gay guy wrote this...
