TOTW 06/09: What would you say to Ennis?
CellarDweller:
I don't think there is anything that anyone could've said to Ennis. He was so wrapped up in his desire to pass as straight, a few words from a gay person wasn't going to do anything.

Hey CellarDweller!
"..a few words from a gay person.." - do you mean Jack by that?
I wouldn't say that Jack was some random gay person for Ennis - i think you will agree. His words to Ennis would have a greater effect than anybody else' in the world. That's why i wished he would have told him something like that...
By the way, i had another thought on this. Some days ago i was reading some other terrible stuff - about serial killers, children killers, rapists. After some time i could not have it anymore and i returned back to this forum and BBM (ok, i never really left ;) ) and it felt SO much like home! It felt like a SAFE place, filled with so much LOVE. And you know what, i had another idea of what to tell Ennis:
=========
Brutal murder of people who are in love with someone of the same sex is a terrible thing, no doubt about that. But the world is much bigger than Riverton, Wyoming / Texas or even the United States. The world is filled with horrible things you actually don't ever want to know. You have something very special with Jack, you are the "safe heaven" for each other. In this cruel, unsafe world keep your loved ones close to you as much as you can. Stick together, share moments, protect and nurture each other - you will never know what will happen tomorrow. Pull Jack close and don't ever let him out of your sight!
=========
This is not perfect. Accept it as it is.

The title of the thread is what would YOU say to Ennis. I was talking about myself. A few words from a gay person (me) to Ennis wouldn't change anything, he was too entrenched in preserving the image he was projecting.
I thought I was the only one who read about serial killers. :laugh:
I have the Serial Killer Encyclopedia on my bookshelf.
