Was Cassie in the Brokeback Mountain movie homophobic?

I don't think Cassie would know what that word meant ;D She is probably about my least favorite character in the movie. She also does not seem to be too bright ;)

Cassie did OK by finding Carl, he was kinda hunky in a rangy good old boy way!

Maybe he enjoyed rubbing her feet :laugh:

I'm the opposite here... I think Cassie is a warm, fun person who doesn't understand the situation that she's gotten herself into with Ennis. But, I don't really see anything particularly negative in her character.
I think Ennis treated her terribly by essentially using her to bolster his public image and leading her on... and that wins her a lot of sympathy in my book.

agreed about the comment concerning Ennis using Cassie as a "beard", I also have similar feelings about Ennis's using Alma in a similar fashion, although one can give him some benefit of the doubt in 1963 at age 19 for being confused, by the time he met Cassie he was clearly trying to use her for cover.
