Ok, this fun conversation has just turned ugly. What right do you have to decide what I think or what my opinion is? Who the hell are you to tell me that some Hollywood socialist liberal asshole is qualified to tell me anything.
The point in not what you had to do in high school nor is it whether peoples negative attitudes about gays is wrong (and I hope you know the difference between ?trav? and Bob) it?s about media source (movies, news papers, TV etc.) using their power to try to control and influence me.
If it was 20 years I would be arguing this from the other side.
For a so-called Libertarian you have some funny ideas.
YOU, hard though this may be for you to believe.
This is about the DANGEROUS people out there. This is about the ones today who are the equivalent of the KKK lynchers of the early twentieth century. This is about changing society's views sufficiently that it is unacceptable to so much as hurl epithets or use derogatory terminology, not to mention more violent outbreaks.
In order to reach that point, you almost have to overreach it. It takes a long time pushing until attitudes taught by parents casually in dinner conversation can be overcome by societal pressure.
I'm curious about the revenues for this past weekend. The number of theaters doubled nationwide.
Now people in West Chester, Newport, Fairfield, and Western Hills can go to their neighborhood cinema to see Jake Gyllenhaal get it up the butt.
Clermont County was spared this scourge.
Dulc,
In direct contrast to an article you posted, a friend showed me an article quoting Gyllenhaal saying his Godmother is Jamie Lee Curtis and he viewed the two characters as straight men who just happened to fall in love.
We speculated that Gyllenhaal is on drugs.

And let's not even get Jamie Lee Curtis into a discussion about awareness of what sex one is attracted to. I do NOT want to go there.
And I would state that in my opinion, from the story and the movie, the Gyllenhaal character is gay, but the Ledger character is more ambiguous. He is Jack-o-sexual, and other than what a man must do to have offspring, does not seem particularly interested in having a physical or emotional relationship with anyone else.
Hey Lan, wanna go see Brokeback at the Rave?
If you want, I will email you the word file of the short story ahead of time.
It is a cultural imperative of our time, it will make you the talk of the office to have seen it.
Bring the wife and any offspring old enough to view.
I will treat you and hangers-on to ice cream treats at the nearby Cold Stone Creamery afterwards. (explicit bribe)
Hmph. I didn't get ice cream treats.
