I agree, and I recall Proulx saying her story was about the effects of rural homophobia, which is how it effected me. So many of these stories have involved queerfolks in the big city. I think that is one way Brokeback will be remembered: it showed rural homophobia, the story being published a year before the death of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming.

Wow! I had no idea it was a year before that.
Boy, if that didn't drive the point home I don't know what would.
That poor sweet boy! :'(

Proulx herself was called to be on the jury for the trial of his murderers. She didn't have to serve.
