Was Lureen a lesbian or bi, maybe?
Artiste:
Thanks all of you!!
Much can be said according to Lureen's sexual orientation. This thread might show more light(s) on that?? !! Hopefully, by all of you!!
I think that Lureen is a lesbian or bi-person, maybe heterosexual, or maybe other, or maybe a combination.
So far, I see her as a lesbian, maybe bi as a person.
Note: To me again, she had to pass as a heterosexual...
for many, many reasons!!
Kd, do you think she looks at females?
Lucise, I have expressed some ways which seems to show Lureen as an lesbian possibly on other threads, especially one currently. You want me to re-state them since you were not there (as this week's question: Do you think Lureen was pregnant before she saw Jack?? - Please heve a look there, if you so desire. I will also add new reasons showing my thoughts about her being lesbian or bi as a person, if you like.
Louise and Lucise, why you say: no??
Moremojo, why do you think that she is likely if so, bi as person rather than as lesbian?
All new to this thread can also comment. Those who have, please continue, if you like... and that will please me, educate.
P.S. I see no harm in considering Lureen a Lesbian, bi, other, or combination, nor if she is heterosexual and always was!! To each her own!!
Clue: we know that Lureen excelled in figures (accounting). Does that maybe help? I started to wonder and often why is she an accountant!!
Awaiting your news,
hugs!

Precisely because she pursued a man, had sex with him the first night they met, married him, and bore a child that he putatively fathered. I could see a bisexual woman doing all this much more than I could imagine a lesbian doing so. Of course, as I have written, I see Lureen as almost certainly heterosexual.
Artiste:
Thanks moremojo!
What's putatively? How as that to Lureen? To Jack? Did Jack know that?
Like you know, I see Lureen as Lesbian, of course bi-person, since she had no choice!!
She did live an hetorosexual life, yes, but because of her parents choice(s) or her's?? Or society's??
Why do you figure she almost certainly was hetero?
Hugs!
LauraGigs:
Why do people figure she was hetero, you ask?
Like Scott wrote, she pursued a man, had sex with him the first night they met, married him, and bore a child. She stayed married to him for as long has he lived. And judging from her tearfulness on the phone with Ennis, was saddened by Jack's death and by the fact that Jack wanted his ashes on Brokeback Mountain (proving that Jack's time with Ennis meant the most to him — not his time with Lureen).
Why on earth do you think she's a lesbian? This is one of the craziest ideas anyone has had about this movie!
I like you, Artiste, but think I speak for many people when I say the idea of Lureen being lesbian is a bit nutty, and I don't understand what has you so convinced of it.
souxi:
Do you know I,m really glad you said that first Laura, because thats exactly what I was thinking. There was NEVER any suggestion, either in the short story or the movie that even hinted at this. ::) ::) ::)
