I saw a preview of this movie with a friend. I'd never heard of it, but she had read a lot of press in which the gay aspect was played up quite a bit. However, when you see the preview, it seems pretty clear that these guys aren't gay, but got carried while riding the range one night. These are not 'gay cowboys,' tho the gay press may want to make them so.
I suggest you read any synopsis of this movie and you'll see it is exactly a gay movie, and in fact it seems as if they mean to convey that the men's love for each other endures and transcends time and their marriages to women. I think this is an activist movie that means to show that gay love is not only acceptable, but better than hetero love, and that the "normal" paths people take with their lives are unfulfilling when compared to this supposed eternal gay love.

I just watched the trailer, and it didn't seem to focus on the *gay* issue, rather than 2 guys who became too close on the range and were best friends, maybe like a Sheepherder and a sheep
