Was Cassie in the Brokeback Mountain movie homophobic?
Artiste:
this may be a corollary to the fact that scientists have found the "gay gene" only in self identifying male homosexuals, it has not been found in Lesbians.
brokeplex:
what you not understand is the "gay gene", n'est pas? you just repeated my words without telling me what you don't understand about them.
as Jerry Maguire said, "help me, help you!" ;D
Artiste:
This:
In contrast, the straight men were excited just by women, and the gay men only by men...
is related to the
gay gene?
...........
You lost me there!!
I need details to try to understand that!!
brokeplex:
a part of the sequence in the genetic code has been identified as being the gay gene. the reason is that this unique sequence occurs ONLY in Gay men. it is a unique identifier of a gay man. it is direct proof that, like skin color and eye color, for gay men, "gayness" is an intrinsic biological property that is inheirited, "gayness" is not learned behavior, but is a function of our biology.
I was opining that the gay gene may be responsible for the fact that gay men seemed less flexible in the study that you shared in regard to bisexuality. but women are more flexible about their sexuality. the gay gene does not occur in women, only in men.
serious crayons:

Yes, that's what I think.
--- Quote ---Ennis was married before and is now not anymore; so when Cassie comes around and forces herself to him, he does not want her, even if she is Marylin Monroe!! He does NOT want sex with Cassie!!
To me, there seems to be NO proof that Ennis had sex with Cassie !! Is there such a proof?
--- End quote ---
Artiste, it seems we're going around in circles. You keep repeating that Cassie forced herself on Ennis, keep saying there is no proof they had sex, etc. I keep saying Ennis had his motives for being with Cassie, keep stating what I consider the reasons to believe they had sex.
And then we go through it all again.
Your lilacs are lovely, BTW.
When I was a child, I had a book with little verses for each letter. I can't remember any of them, except for L. It said, "L is the loveliest letter made. It's lilacs and linen and lemonade." So now I always think of L as, in fact, the loveliest letter.
When my son was about 5, he goes, "You know what words I hate? 'Wonderful' and 'lovely. Because those are ladies' words!" I didn't know whether to be angered by his sexism or thrilled by his perceptiveness. Because they really ARE ladies' words.
Anyway, OT. Getting back to Cassie ...
