Brokeback Mountain, the "mountain" is in Wyoming - The Equality State.

STATE OF WYOMING
OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR - JIM GERINGER
CHEYENNE, WYOMING
For Release: January 15, 1996
....  We must practice Wyoming's motto of
"The Equality State."
We must acknowledge each other's worth and dignity
or we will lose our basic values.
  ............  But today is also a look forward,
a look with a renewed commitment
not only to fight against prejudice,
hatred or intolerance,
but also to practice equality.
.............

Good to think about on America's Memorial Day.

From the short story:

“Dawn came glassy orange, stained from below by a gelatinous band of pale green.”
Nightmares may be products of our subconscious, but dreams are magic windows through which we see our desired reality.

"L" is lavender

Yes, lavender is the current theme color of Gay Pride -- even the Empire State Building {~ Hey, Anka ~} is lit up with lavender lights on "Gay Pride Day" -- but also in BBM, the short story, lavender is mentioned regarding Ennis & Jack: "...swapping the bottle while the lavender sky emptied of color and the chill air drained down...."
