Well did Jack have to marry someone he might not have been in love with? Some have posted on TOB that they both betrayed each other when they got married. Of course, the wheels were set in motion, the outside world does close in.
And what home would Jack take him to... Oh, in his mindset would be "oh i'll think of something." I mean he can't bring Ennis back to his parents home in 1967. Gotta think of way to explain the "situation" to the folks. Or maybe they would be so accepting. Obviously he can't bring Ennis back to his home with his wife.
"Jack, don't wanta be like those guys you see around sometimes...." I wonder what he meant by that, i.e. socially shunned homosexuals hangin out in Riverton in the 1960's... It's not liked, I gather, he's ever made any trips to urban centers where I think you'd see visible gay men. No indication that Ennis pays attn to current events as he and Alma seem to watch sitcoms. Of course any news portrayal of gays in that time period would be negative, hardly the type of thing to make you want to take a chance I suppose "and move to Denver." Of course, Jack always dreams of a better place, with Ennis
