Was Cassie in the Brokeback Mountain movie homophobic?

Well I'm not sure what my excuse is, apart from the "keeps popping up on the new posts list" one - I'm not doing tax returns at the moment (though it has just occurred to me that I've usually had some sort of communication from them by now about tax credits, which is almost as bad :-\), though I can imagine your IRS is very much like our 'Inland Revenue' and tax returns are very nearly top of my list of things to hate doing, probably topped only by going to the dentist. Yeah, I'll vote for the "abolish our homegrown American Gestapo" campaign if you'll vote for my new political party "BAIR-Y" - that's "Brokies Against Inland Revenue - Yee-haw!" ;D
....I am though stuck in a kind of love-hate relationship with an assignment for a course I'm doing - "serious me" knows if I don't get stuck into it now and get on with the damned thing I'll be racing around like a headless chicken at the last minute and working into the early hours of the morning the day it's due in to get it finished, but "silly me" says, "What the hell! It usually works better at the last minute anyhow..."...and of course being at Bettermost is much more fun than answering questions on the design of computer applications... :)

Artiste:
Funny! about sex, that much!
..........
Serious note:
Ennis did yelled at Jack, when Jack turned around and saw Ennis in that shed.
Ennis was sick, and told Jack: What are you looking at?
......
Wasn't that it?
Brown Eyes:
Hi Artiste,
Is this the scene you mean?

This man with the black hat is a passerby, not Jack. Jack has already driven away.
This is the first (and most direct) instance of Ennis being "haunted" by a man with a black hat in the background of a scene... that happens to him throughout the film. We see lots of men with black hats in the background of scenes where Ennis is missing Jack... and in this case he's missing Jack so much that he's making himself sick.
Also, with Jack you'll notice he's often surrounded by men (often in the background of scenes, etc.) who are wearing white or pale-colored hats.
Brown Eyes:
Oooo, this give me a chance to post one of my favorite "black-hat-in-the-background" moments... because it pertains to Ennis meeting Cassie. You'll see that in the background there's often a man with a black hat positioned directly in between Ennis and Cassie. This is almost a visual clue to the viewer that Jack will always be the obstacle in the middle of the relationship between Ennis and Cassie... there from the very beginning.
