--- Quote from: Lynne on December 25, 2008, 11:47:33 am ---Ian - here's a link to another 'historical' thread from the Brokeback Mountain Resources area.  A few posts into it, there's an article by Jenkins where Brokeback Mountain is discussed as Epiphany.

I believe that I've verified that all links are functional.  If anyone has any trouble, let me know.

Yes, thanks for the link. It is a very interesting thread.

Good interesting Scott composition!

One must not forget also that these, Ennis and Jack, are what could or can be called homosexual men and no need to degrade that, as too many do! Gays are not called gays for nothing as to want gay or joy in their life/lives and in humanity in order to enrich it !!!

But, unfortunately, rare are straights, and even gays, that do call them gays or even consider them gays in this Brokeback Mountain movie, unfortunately! Why? Prejudice against gays? Lack of education and culture? So-called religion and/or non-religious attitude ? Historical brainwashing as gay bashing is OK ? Fear? Why? Why? Why?

Much remains can be said about Annie's story and this film, but not many desire to dwell about its truths to let freedom ring ![/b][/color]

Au revoir,
hugs!

Front-Ranger:
In the movie Jack and Ennis were not called gay, and I think the reason for this was because the movie (and story that the movie is based on) had to be true to the historical times and geography. At that time in Wyoming, the word gay had not come into common usage. Instead, the word queer was used, which is the word that Ennis used.
