Why would I want to see that?

It is more socialist tripe whose sole purpose is the demise of western civilization in an effort to make way for collectivism.

wow....the movie has no socialist leanings whatsoever....and if you didn’t know this, homosexuals were routinely imprisoned by communist and fascist totalitarian states. The demise of western civilization is not dependent on “stories” or tragedies told. The demise will come when individual liberties are suppressed, including those that come with the right to tell a story, however tragic.
Communism depends on fostering a community of sameness, anything beyond the status quo must be stamped out...which is why they were among the most “intolerant” of states.

Brokeback Mountain is a tragic story, where no one found a happy ending. In that sense, every story told about adultery or sex outside of marriage, such as the “Scarlet Letter” would also bring about this demise you speak of.
