Do You Think They All Knew? Jacks Parents? Laureen?
serious crayons:
Oh, are we talking about who knew Jack and Ennis had a relationship going, or who knew one or the other was gay? There are different answers. I was answering the former. The latter would greatly expand the list.
Would it be simpler to say who didn't know they were gay? Let's see. LaShawn, Cassie, maybe Monroe, Carl ...
brokebackjack:
I'm the one at fault, not you. I answered a combo
Relationship? Alma; eventually Lureen; Randall; Joe Aguirre; Alma Juniour--I'm certain she figured it out but that's an inferred answer; the Dick, John Twist; Mrs Twist.
Gay/Bi etc? LD Newsome; Jimbo; Fayette via LD's contempt, might have shrugged it off; VERY iffy--Cassie in the diner.
Inferred: the rodeo circuit--it's small, word about Jack would have got around. there was a deleted scene where jimbo's buddies confronted Jack.

Who? ???
brokebackjack:
Just who it says Jeff--the Dick, John Twist

I wonder if LaShawn ever wises up on her husband. "Oh, Randall's not mechanically inclined." ;D
ALMA: Yes, I presume raising the issue with Ennis if he had found another woman to marry was her way to see if her husband was totally gay (maybe).
ALMA Jr: if not in 1982, she sure had a clue and would be more certain as time moves on. I mean her father never married again.
Lureen: I still think she thought Jack might have had a thing for another woman. Either that or she was in denial. The phone call from Ennis causes something to click in her head.
L.D.: Don't know. I just thought he took every opportunity he could to insult Jack.
Jack parent's: Mom YES, dad more then likely (some denial there no doubt)
L.D.'s wife: No. Just thought her daughter could have married better. No dialog exchange between her and Jack. Don't know if that mean she wasn't to fond of Jack or if she was just a quiet lady.
I don't think Alma discussed what she saw Jack and Ennis doing with Monroe. Though I don't think Monroe was homophobic. ;)
Aguiree: Well yeah, though he fades pretty fast from the movie.
Randall: Yes. Figured out Jack pretty fast.
Cassie: Your dad not being the marrying type Alma (Jr)? She has a clue, though I don't know how worldly ppl were in 1982 about gay guys being like Ennis. Maybe she just thought he was a loner and stuck in his shell. Certainly doesn't know about Jack.
