Here's a link to the main HRC website. It's actually a really interesting thing to look at to see just how many things this group works on and is involved with at any one time. Also, there's still an advertisement about the Gala and Anne's participation on their main/ front homepage.

Thank you! :) I'll have a look.

I personally consider that on par with the reports he'd arrived in Australia etc - ie. I believe it to be completely bogus, made up by some reporter or journalist who wanted to be first with the news and "helped" the news along a bit by writing to confirm what everyone "knew" to be true anyway. But the real truth IMO is that there is no credible report at all about Jake's reasoning - and he himself has deliberately kept out of reach and silent. That's all we know.
That people are wondering about the reason for this silence is only to be expected, IMO. Wondering about it is not intended to trespass into private territory, even; - the matter of whether or not to honour and pay respectful public tribute to a talented and very close colleague, gone too soon, is connected with Jake's professional life and public image and -appearance as much as anything, IMO.

Whether or not we agree with what's going on... there is a rift and turmoil in the Brokeback fan base over this. It's just simply happened and I, for one think it's tremendously sad and perplexing.

I respectfully disagree on this, Amanda. I don't think there is a rift about it among Brokies. Different opinions - yes. But we do have different opinions on many things and that's completely fine. And if there were a rift, it would surely not be Jake's doing.
Heath's passing is an extremely sad situation with emotions running high and people feeling vulnerable. And in this, we just have to accept that people react differently to Jack's lack of reaction. Some may be disappointed by it, others find it completely understandable, others are simply curious about it. And all those emotional reactions towards Jake are justified and it's right to voice them as long as it is done in an appropriate manner.

I'm asking myself when I will stop counting the weeks .... ???
Tomorrow it will be nine weeks already. More than two months and still so unbelievable at times :(
So today I'll start the new week with a hug and a kiss for all grieving Heathens:
{{{Heathens}} :-*
And of course with a pic, because they make me feel better (mostly).
