Hello everyone,
At the request of Lynne, I am here to tell y'all about my online t-shirt store that I created just for brokies. It's called revelation tees, named for what the movie and it's actors' performances are to me and many others, and I created it a few months ago as my way to help us celebrate and ADVERTISE our love of the movie and story, Brokeback Mountain.
A big part of it is that I donate all my profits to the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Most people know that Matthew was killed in a horrible hate crime outside of Laramie, Wyoming in 1998, about a year after the short story was first published. This foundation was created in Matthew's memory to increase love, tolerance, and compassion in the world as it educates people about hatred and homophobia. In making my shirts, I wanted to help people share their love of BBM with the public at large, and also translate their love (and grief) into a positive and tangible contribution that will go towards making the world safer and better for the real-life Jacks and Ennises still struggling to live and love freely in this world. Because of the geographical and other connections between Matthew's story and the story of Brokeback, it was the only place I ever considered sending my profits.
So, just click on the link at the bottom of this post, and it will take you to my store. I also am happy to do special orders, and most of the shirts in the shop were created by request from other brokies at one time or another. Some might even remember my threads on IMDb back in January and February, soliciting feedback for quotes to use, when the shop was just an idea.
Happy browsing, and here (below) are some pictures of some of the items that people seem to like. The first one says "Jack Nasty!" on the back, to complete Alma's great quote.
