I think it's telling that the religious right spends so much time vilifying
Brokeback Mountain
, crediting it as an example of all that's wrong with so-called family values and representative of moral decay of society,
ad nauseum
.
It's almost as if it struck such a nerve, resonating to the point that they're afraid. I mean, I know why WE are still talking about it more than a year later, but why in the world are they still so consumed by it? It's still a popular op/ed topic with these people - I run across stuff like this all the time in my quest for BBM news:

I bet "Alan Chambers" goes on a bi-annual fishin' trip with his fishin' buddy.
AND THAT'S WHY HE'S SCARED OF BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN! ENOUGH SAID.

Indeed, Eric. What was that Christian Evangelical leader's name, again? I rest our case.

*sigh*
Typical tactics. They think if they say it loud and often enough, people will believe it. And yes, some do. But not the intelligent people.
