What do we (Texans) have to do with it, other than the screenwriter being from here? It's set in Wyoming.
thats what I wanted to know. But these "fans" were saying Brokeback Texas. I don't think we identify the west with Wyoming but rather Texas. I guess this little social experiment proves it. I'd bet most of the people who were slurring the TX fans didn't know where the movie took place. They only know cowboys and cowboys come from Texas (in their minds).
