I've read this before. To be honest, to me it seems a bit much of a coincidence and it's hard for me to believe. It just fits too neatly, it has a touch of an urban (or rural, in this case) legend to me.
I've read people talk about this bit of trivia repeated times. But what I've never read so far is a direct quote of Annie Proulx where she attests to this story. Which of course doesn't mean it doesn't exist - and I'd be happy to get a link to it.
I don't say it's not true (how could I?) - but I'm sceptic.

I think, and I'll have to check when I get home to be sure, but I think it is in the Story to Screenplay book she speaks about it.
Man I been at this so long it is starting to get fuzzy.

So you're saying this film is socially irrelevant?
--- Quote ---It is a wonderfull piece of art, and as close to a perfectly crafted as a film can be, but if they meant for this film to act as a catalyst for change, it had to have been directed toward gay people and not toward those we wish to change.

You don't think it can--and does--do both? There seems to be anecdotal evidence that it does.

Nope, not in the STS book. Must have been somewhere else.
