It's against the law to kill another human and homos are not treated as second class citizens under any law I have heard of.

WTF lets get teh facts straight...

1) They aren't cowboys. They don't have cows, they have sheep
2) What sheepherder in his right mind would take a "alien probe" from his best friend when theres a flock right outside the tent?

I'm not a homophobe at all, but the increasing presence of overt gay stuff is getting to me.  It seems almost political in nature when you consider the volume of it.  The Glsen organization http://www.stevekaneshow.com/glsen.htm is just one example.  (gay lesbian straight education network) a national movement which seeks access to children in middle schools to expose them to concepts like "fisting" - which according to them,  is best done when you are feeling exploratory, analingus, rug munching and so on.  Do not kid yourself that this organization is about education.  They are political, with an agenda.  The people at the very top of the GLSEN organization are gay activist attorneys)  Other gay organizations are actively seeking to create "Gay PTA's" in Broward and Palm Beach counties in Florida!  Can you imagine gays wanting their own PTA?  And then there are the dedicated specifically gay tv shows, movies, and of course Hollyweird.  It makes me tired.

There are plenty of movies that glorify homosexuality.  I'm against that.  But Brokeback Mountain doesn't concern me much, because I'm told that it doesn't glorify homosexuality at all.  I have no problem with adults going to see it if they choose.  And I don't think I have a problem with it being made.

Well, if they're left with that choice, then they'd go for abstinence :D

But I already knew that.

xtoronto... seriously... are you gay or do you like chick flicks?   If no.... then maybe you are in the movie business?  Have gay cowboy friends?   the movie was filmed by your house?

If none of those reasons then plese tell me why you would have went to see it (spend your own money) based on what you knew about it.

I would like to know.

I've just seen it in "avant première" it's not a great film but a good film anyway and I didn't see any homosexual propaganda in it.

Laz your just not sophisticated enought to handle this kind of film,it's too complex.

I love movies. I own approximately 300 dvd's (favourite genre is westerns (eg: Searchers; Ox-bow Incident; Man who shot Liberty Valence; Big Country; High Noon; Good the Bad the Ugly; Unforgiven; etc) My other favourite genre is Film Noir (eg: Maltese Falcon; Key Largo; The Killing; White Heat; Lost Weekend; Notorious; Sorry, Wrong Number; Nightmare Alley; Touch of Evil; etc)

Even if I had not been invited to see it on Saturday night (and then out for dinner) I would have seen it eventually anyway. With all the publicity this film is/was getting I wanted to "see for myself" what it was all about, and thus be able to forge my own opinion. I have never seen a movie that had a gay theme central to its story before. (Crying Game and Talented Mr. Ripley excepted)

I went to see Silence of the Lambs back in 1991 and I don't have any secret desires to kidnap young women and use their skin to make clothing, but I found that movie extremely entertaining. (Brokeback is not in the same class of film making as Silence of the Lambs btw)

I plan to see Tarrantino's production of Hostel and  Speilbergs direction of Munich asap too.
