I just watched the dvd, Brokeback Mountain. I didn't care for it.

Seeing two cowboys kissing passionately just isn't my thing. heheheheh

Being a cowboy watching a herd of sheep is a damn lonely life.

I will not forgive "them" for making that movie. Really!

Somethings are sacred. Like a cowboy's sexuality.

What do you think "partners" was all about? <shame on you> 😄

Well at least they had the good grace and manners to do each other, rather than the sheep. Good movie, often disheartening, but realistic to the time it portrayed.

If you ever lived in a small town and had a secret relationship then your partner dies tragically Brokeback is your movie.

You didn't like to see two Cowboys kissing?

I bet if it were two Cowgirls you would have been all over it!

Kinda singled sided are we?

Don't worry I will not send you any more movies that may upset your delicate balance.

Well? I grew up in Wyoming knowing I was transsexual. I could relate to the film. It's dangerous to be different there. A respected police veteran of 16 years came out of the closet as transsexual and was fired. She was eventually forced out of the state because no one would give her a job or rent her a house. She lost her house when her wife divorced her as well as taking the children and making sure he did not get visitation. I understood that what I was had to remain a secret, from everyone!!!!!!!!

That film was a great film and I am really glad it was made. It might not be what people want to think, but there are just as many gay cowboys as any other manly job. In fact I used to know the guy who started the gay rodeo in Denver Colorado, until he passed. There are lots of gay cowboys, not just a few. Lots of them. Same with Jet fighter pilots or any other "manly" jobs. You will always find gay men in these jobs. When it comes to work? Men are men. What they do sexually is completely irrelevant. There are no jobs reserved for "non-gay" men. Those days are over or at least nearing an end. It's within site to see gay people not be discriminated against as a civil right.
