The front runner in this year's Oscar race is "Broke Back Mountain," about two Wyoming cowboys conducting a homosexual affair in the '60's and '70's.
Gay activists embrace the movie, hailing it as a "timeless love story" showing the joys of male-on-male passion, but they ignore one key factor in the plot: both men are married, with children, and their long-standing relationship ultimately destroys both marriages.
Would commentators similarly applaud a story of cheating, if the adultery involved a married man and a married woman?
Political correctness justifies a gay affair for allowing the participant to express his "true self," but a husband involved with a much younger woman could similarly claim that only with his fresh, new love could his real nature come out.
The main problem with "Broke Back Mountain" isn't that it's pro-gay; it's that the emphasis on following your urges rather than honoring your responsibilities is, at its heart, anti-marriage.

All homosexual promotion is anti-marriage and anti-family. And the movie reviewers should stop calling them cowboys. They're shepards. Sheep herders.
If someone offered me one million dollars to watch that movie I would refuse. Unless I could spend the whole time offering a loud, running commentary.
Say, did you hear about the Wyoming sheep herder who was showing a San Franciscan around his sheep ranch? 'Twas a big ranch and the Californian had never seen such a large piece of privately owned land. At one point they came upon a ewe with her head stuck in the fence. The sheep herder stopped, turned to his guest, apologized saying, "This is too good to pass up." He then got out and had his way with the ewe.
Upon his return to the truck, he looked at the Californian and said, "Aren't you going to take advantage of this opportunity?" The Frisco fellow shrugged and replied, "I may as well." He got out of the truck, walked up to the fence, and stuck his head in it.
"Aint but two things from Wyoming, boy..."
The Broke Head Media loves Broke Back Mountain.
Good one!

With all due respect to Mr. Medved, they've done it many a time.

Whaddaya mean - they loved the Clinton's in 'The Presidency'

I'll split that million with you, and we'll have a gay old time! Mystery Science Theatre, here we come!
Hey, I got an idea for a sequal.
Broke Back Mountain II: Loving Ewe.
Now now, keep an open mind. Brave New World and all that.
;-)
BROKE BACK-SIDE MOUNTING.
How about "Fudge Packer Gully"
I recently spent a month in Texas for work. These gay cowboys wouldn't last a week in Texas.
It should be titled: Bareback Mountain.
In fact, that was probably the original title.
"Mystery Science Theatre, here we come!"
Great Idea!!!! Have it go straight to DVD. It would be a hoot!
Maybe "Bone Smugglers Notch".
lmao
