Theater officials in some communities are not showing the path-breaking "Brokeback Mountain," a movie rivaling in importance the post-World War II "Gentleman's Agreement," which took on polite but deadly anti-Semitism in the American elite.
It is not just about two gay cowboys. It is about how homophobia and hypocrisy force them to marry and have children instead of living the lives God and nature gave them. The results are tragic, not just for them but for those around them.
The target here is hypocrisy and self-appointed moralists who think they can tell us how to think, how to live, how to say happy holidays and how to interpret world events.

Isn't it funny that a leftist-type would use 'they're telling us how to say happy holidays' as his analogy? This guy's seriously messed up.
Yes, they'll drag "God" into their arguments to beat us over the head with, but it's a phony ploy, one of the nastiest. Like so-called Catholic rainbow sash wearers, or the recent attempts of Democrats to use Bible quotes and act as though Jesus would be on their side.
bRUMP back mounting.
Libertarian my rear. He's a seminar caller. He might have just said, "I am a conservative Christain and I voted for Bush" or "I am a Republican and I voted for Bush".
I guess it would be pointless to note that the short story existed long before anyone in Hollywood decided to make this movie.
I'm sorry your wife is still having an affair with a libertarian, causing your continuing infatuation with them.
Seems to undermine the pedophilia claim, huh?
Not if you read a bit further . . .
Individual Rights and Civil Order Section 22: "We would repeal existing laws and policies intended to condemn, affirm, encourage or deny sexual lifestyles, or any set of attitudes about such lifestyles. "
Would that lifestyle include pedophelia?
Libertarians THEN define children a bit differently. The children get to decide when they are adults just by standing up for their rights and moving out.
Individual Rights and Civil Order Section 21.
"However, children always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights, ending dependency upon their parents or other guardians, and assuming all responsibilities of adulthood."
Would that lifestyle include pedophelia?
In your imagination, perhaps. It's clearly written with fags/swingers/etc. in mind, not child abusers.
Individual Rights and Civil Order Section 21. "However, children always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights, ending dependency upon their parents or other guardians, and assuming all responsibilities of adulthood."
A tool which could just as easily be invoked as a means for a child to *escape* a molesting parent.
LOL!!! Oh man..it doesn't get any better than this!
I think he meant to say "Checkmate". You lose.
It is an ideal letter to the editor; brief, to the point, opinionated, and topical.
Beyond that, it is provocative, smug and high handed.
Blasphemy. They chose that life for themselves.
Try this for starters: The child molestors party
The author is obviously someone who doesn't know God.
Prohibitions on 'unsocial' acts & evil objects, -- sins like sodomy, prostitution, gambling, suicide; -- possession of drugs, porn, & assault weapons..
That's Communitarianism/Socialism in a nutshell.
By pedophiles. In the LP, they've found the party of their sick dreams.
Man, you're argument is weak. Laughable really.
I'll just let post 73 speak for itself. Its more than enough for this reasonable person.
