--- Quote from: Katie77 ---I was reading a Brokback Trivia site yesterday and came accross this......
Director Ang Lee gave Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal copies of the book, "Farm Boys: Lives of Gay Men from the Rural Midwest", by Will Fellows, a book that had been mentioned by both Annie Proulx and Diana Ossana as an excellent reference source, to help them understand their characters. Noting what he learned from his reading, Gyllenhaal said, "I dont't think that these two characters even know what gay is"

Katie77, Thank You so much for this. I found it and read parts of it in Google books, and it is amazing. Definitely worth owning.
And thank you everyone, for your insights into this question. I never thought about it before, now I understand the tent scene much better, and Jack.

Howdy, lancecowboy. Nice to see that you're lovin' this site. :)
Btw, you guys, I've heard of that trivia thing about that and it's really good. And I agree with Jake on that statement. Back in the sixties, there WASN'T a name for describing same-sex relationships. But, that was an interestingly great piece of trivia for us.
