wow....the movie has no socialist leanings whatsoever....and if you didn’t know this, homosexuals were routinely imprisoned by communist and fascist totalitarian states. The demise of western civilization is not dependent on “stories” or tragedies told. The demise will come when individual liberties are suppressed, including those that come with the right to tell a story, however tragic.
Communism depends on fostering a community of sameness, anything beyond the status quo must be stamped out...which is why they were among the most “intolerant” of states.
Brokeback Mountain is a tragic story, where no one found a happy ending. In that sense, every story told about adultery or sex outside of marriage, such as the “Scarlet Letter” would also bring about this demise you speak of.
I am sure the basic story has no socialist leaning. That does not alter the fact that the MSM is not trying to find a sympathetic ear (or wet eye) by pushing this ‘entertainment’.
We are slowly slipping into the same morass that has made Europe a socialist mecca...and speaking of Mecca it is the kind of weak moral message that will allow the Islamicists to find a foothold for western conquest, just like it has done in Europe today.
I personally don’t care who does what with whom in the privacy of their own homes as long as it is not with minors. I just see the legitimizing of it in the media as a threat to our national health and sovereignty.
