"Members of the Utah Gay Rodeo Association...."
Funny how they have to have their own little sissy rodeos, I wonder how well they would do in the PRCA.
To: Mikey_1962
Just like they took the word "gay" they are going to change the meaning of cowboy to something sissified and ugly.

Some years ago I heard the Humanities Dean of Carnegie Mellon University state that it was really gay men who settled the west.
IOW, no families on those wagons west, only gay men. /s
These people are truly suffering from thinking with a certain part of their anatomy.......

No gay agenda has ever survived the backlash. They cannot change nature, and what they think is progress is pure provocation to reactionary countermeasures.
This insulting movie will be answered by voters next election. Eleven states have already spoken on the matter and many more will follow.

"It's the kind of movie that everybody, especially straight people, need to see to understand the culture we grew up in and what we go through."
I really don't "need" to understand the culture queer sheep herders grew up in or what they go through. The media and the queer interest groups (who knew there was a queer rodeo circuit?!) are trying very hard to shove this in our faces, so to speak. But I vow that I will go to my grave having never seen 'Brokeback Mountain' and I further vow that I will never try to understand the culture of the queer sheep herder.

Like many gay Utahns, Ritchie Olsen has been bursting ...I confess to thinking this was an Onion parody, just based on the intro.

I live in Texas and I don't even know a gay cowboy. I think it is a shame that this is getting so much attention. Women all over should be outraged! There are fewer and fewer men who want to step up to the plate and be real men, real dads, and with this type of hype with gay cowboys, really is not actual or real, atleast here in Texas.

"I began thinking about homophobia. In fact, the thing that destroyed the relationship between the two characters was their own homophobia." Interesting quote. The first I had heard about homophobia between the shepherds. That rings as a cautionary tale, doesn't it? It appears that the two characters rejected the gay life in the end, right?

Well I'm so happy that Hollyweird made a gay cowboy movie for Ritchie Olsen and his gay Utah association. It's pathetic that they are being called cowboys. Just because one rides a horse doesn't make one a cowboy. If the truth were known, the only reason these gays are hanging around rodeos is because they get their jollies looking at REAL cowboys/men.
Nothing new here....

A woman I know took her boyfriend to see this film. Supposedly, he had no idea what the content was. When the movie got to the "love scene" he told her he was leaving. I about fell over with laughter when she told me.
